Herne Bay was treated to another impromptu air display as a plane performed stunts over the town tonight.

The G-IHHI single engine aircraft appeared over the coast shortly after 7pm.

It treated onlookers to a dazzling display of aerobatics, with many grabbing their cameras to grab pictures of the plane in action.

Julie Duffy posted on Facebook: "We was watching from our garden with our hearts pounding. What an amazing daring show. We loved it, so thank you pilot. it was very brave."

It is thought the performance may have been organised in memory of someone from the town who has now passed.

It follows a shock appearance last week of a Eurofighter Typhoon over Herne Bay.

The impressive jet - which has been due to fly at the Eastbourne Air Show - flew along the coast a number of times last Sunday.
