More than a dozen US Air Force aircraft have left a second airbase in Britain weeks after the US withdrew its bombers from RAF Fairford over a suspected Iran-linked security incident.
The latest plane to leave, a Boeing Stratotanker KC-135 refuelling aircraft, flew from RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk on Tuesday afternoon and headed towards Germany.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the departures have been in response to a further threat from Iran but the BBC has not independently verified that claim.
Downing Street has insisted British air bases are safe and that their security is a "top priority".
