Two RAF pilots who ejected from a training jet before it crashed are expected to make a "full recovery".

An investigation is continuing after a Hawk T2 aircraft crashed in the Pencarnisiog area on Wednesday lunchtime, shortly after taking off from RAF Valley.

The two pilots, who suffered minor injuries, were taken by air ambulance to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, where the Royal Centre for Defence Medicine is based.

The Royal Air Force says all flying operations involving Hawk T1 and Hawk T2 fighter jets have been temprorarily paused "as a precautionary measure".

An RAF spokesperson said on Thursday: "Both pilots are doing well, they are in extremely good spirits and expected to make a full recovery."

Both of the pilots' families are being supported.

Train services between Holyhead and Bangor were also disrupted for a time following the crash, due to "an obstruction on the track".

Llinos Medi, Ynys Môn MP, said she was "relieved that both pilots involved...were able to eject safely and that no wider injuries have been reported."

She added: "RAF Valley is an important part of life here on Ynys Môn and incidents such as this are felt across our community. My thoughts are with the pilots and all personnel at the station. I am in contact with the relevant authorities as the investigation proceeds."

Bangor Conwy Môn MS Helen Jenner said she was "deeply concerned" to hear of the incident, adding "my thoughts are with the crew, their families and everyone at the base."

"I want to thank North Wales Police, North Wales Fire and Rescue Service, the Welsh Ambulance Service, the air ambulance crews and the Coastguard, who were at the scene within minutes. Their professionalism in moments like this is something we should never take for granted."
