Britain has called on the US to help find and salvage a fighter jet that crashed into the Mediterranean after its pilot ejected.
Royal Navy servicemen are working with the Americans to recover the F-35B Lightning II from more than a mile below the surface.
The UK is believed to have the equipment and manpower to rescue the destroyed £120million aircraft but their Nato allies were reportedly closer.
