As the situation in Ukraine becomes ever more desperate, plane spotters across Frome have been following some interesting air trails including overhead the route of an American bomber.

That appears across Frome every morning - at least for the past few days - and today (March 2) it was given a particularly chilling name.

Fear 31 was a B52 American bomber tracked across the skies of Frome at just after 10am.
