Pro-Palestine protesters break into RAF base on scooters and deface two aircraft

Palestine Action members break into Brize Norton airbase in Oxfordshire and spray military planes with red paint

A pro-Palestine protest group has said two of its members broke into the RAF's Brize Norton airbase and defaced two military aircraft with spray paint before escaping the site without being detained.

Palestine Action released a short video on Friday morning showing two people driving electric scooters unimpeded inside the airbase at night, in an embarrassing breach of Ministry of Defence (MoD) security at a site where transport planes used by the king and prime minister can be parked.
