A Royal Air Force (RAF) Eurofighter Typhoon experienced a mid-flight emergency while flying over the North Sea, necessitating the jettisoning of its canopy on January 23, 2025.  

The aircraft, which belongs to No. 11 Squadron RAF based at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire, encountered a problem believed to have been caused by a bird strike. To ensure the flight’s safety, the pilot released the canopy. 

Despite facing unprotected conditions amid high winds and extreme cold, the Typhoon pilot successfully returned to RAF Coningsby without any further issues.
