Amesbury residents were greeted with a world-class aerobatic display from the Black Eagles this week.

The Republic of Korean Air Force display team took to the skies on Monday and Tuesday morning (4 & 5 July) and eagle-eyed residents captured the performance.

Currently stationed at MOD Boscombe Down, the Black Eagles were practicing to obtain their Civil Aviation Authority accreditation ahead of their first UK air show since 2012.

Yvonne Timmins, an Amesbury resident, said that as the Black Eagles came to land, the jets flew low enough to set off her car alarm.

"Great display enjoyed every moment even when my bones shook when they came into land," she added.
