Lost British pilot forced down in Russia

Two Britons flying a Czech-made light aircraft have been intercepted by a Russian fighter and forced to land in the highly militarized Russian Baltic enclave of Kaliningrad.

Russian television said the Britons got lost on a flight from Estonia to England.

A single Sukhoi-twenty-seven fighter was scrambled to find them after they strayed into Russian airspace; it signalled them to land at Kaliningrad's Khrabrovo airport.
