Airport curb on US 'bomb flights'
Flights carrying "hazardous" material have refuelled at Prestwick
US military flights carrying bombs to Israel will no longer use any civilian airports in the UK, the BBC has learnt.
The decision follows criticism of the use of Prestwick Airport near Glasgow to refuel flights suspected of carrying bombs to Israel.
It has emerged that in future only military airfields will be used.
The decision follows protests at the airport and discussions between various government departments, led by the Foreign Office.
