They are used to welcoming '˜high-fliers' at RAF Coningsby - and that was certainly the case when the chairman of the Football Association, Greg Clarke, called in earlier this month.

Mr Clarke met members of the RAF Coningsby Football Team, the current RAF Cup holders, and also personnel from 29 Squadron.

29 Squadron recently provided two Typhoon aircraft for a flypast prior to the FA Cup Final at Wembley.
