Video appears to show UK F-35 fighter crash after take-off

Dramatic video of what appears to be an F-35 jet crashing off the Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth has been posted on social media.
The footage shows a pilot ejecting as the £100m aircraft falls into the sea.

The MoD has said it was too soon to comment on the footage and efforts are ongoing to recover the aircraft.
