Spectators rushed into the sea to help a pilot whose plane crashed into water during an airshow.

The aircraft from a display team hit the water in front of thousands of people at the Herne Bay Airshow in Kent at around 3.30pm UK time on Sunday.

The plane flipped and came to rest upside down around 20m from the shore, leaving the pilot struggling to get out of the partially submerged cockpit.

Thanks to the quick thinking of the sunbathers the pilot was rescued relatively unhurt.
