Ubi bene ibi patria
An American B-2 stealth bomber - one of the most expensive planes ever made - has crashed, leaving the US military with a £610 million bill.

Two pilots on board the bomber managed to eject safely before the crash, which occurred near Andersean Air Force Base, on the American island territory of Guam, 3,700 miles south-west of Hawaii.

The crash happened shortly after take-off, sending thick black smoke billowing from the wreckage of the plane, which was one of just 21 B-2 bombers in the US Air Force.

One of the pilots was in hospital in a stable condition and the other was released after a brief medical examination, the US Air Force said.
