People watched in awe as a Hurricane soared through Basingstoke sky this afternoon.

Hundreds of people were able to catch a glimpse of the Spitfire as part of a Battle of Britain flight that visited Southampton.

The plane did two laps around the docks in Southampton before heading back north at around 1.15pm this afternoon.

The RAF Battle of Britain headed from Buckinghamshire to Southampton Docks and passed Farnham, Basingstoke, Hook, Winchester, and Eastleigh on the way.

The flight arrived at the docks and amazed crowds and they flew overhead before heading out of the county and back to Suffolk.
