The extravagant aircraft dazzled onlookers on Saturday evening, with witnesses awestruck by the display hired for a wedding at a nearby manor house.

Residents of Petton and Cockshutt were wowed by the entertainment provided for guests at a wedding at Burlton Manor, which also included an RAF fly-by and full fireworks display.

The manor had notified residents of the planned entertainment the week prior, but nothing could prepare one resident for what he was about to witness.
