One of the largest aircraft in the world was spotted flying over Suffolk today.
The Antonov 124 was seen flying over Stowmarket by reader Paul Garrett.
A spokesman for Wattisham Air Station said the plane was flying in to land at Wattisham, before loading three Apache helicopters and taking off at around 2pm.
The plane was flying to America, where the helicopters will be used for flying lessons.
Mr Garrett said he saw the plane cruising from half a mile or so away and believed it was travelling at about 120mph.
