The drones team reported via their Twitter account that a “lucky driver and passenger” were found safe and well.
But they warned: “Leaving the scene and not contacting Lincolnshire Police takes up valuable multiple resources.
They said that the runway at the RAF base was not operational at the time while the drones were in the air and the force was in contact with RAF Coningsby as well as other authorities which is standard practice.
