Fledgling tornado spotted in Suffolk
Wednesday evening's thunderstorms have spawned some would-be tornadoes in the Anglia region. This video was taken by Todd Unsworth at Red Lodge between Mildenhall and Newmarket in Suffolk at around 6pm.

Future of airbase in doubt
The future of the RAF base at Marham in Norfolk will be raised in Parliament today. Tornado warplanes are currently stationed there but they are due to be replaced by a new aircraft called the Joint Strike Fighter.
South West Norfolk MP Liz Truss is due to ask the Defence Secretary today for a commitment that Marham will remain open once the Tornado fleet is taken out of service and that the new JSF will be stationed there.
