A Spitfire was forced to make an emergency crash-landing in a field last night (03/05) just days before VE Day.
The historic aircraft - which had two people onboard - dramatically veered out of the sky before crashing down among crops in West Hythe, Kent.
A video of the aftermath of the crash shows the Second World War plane - which belongs to Spitfire experience company Fly a Spitfire - sitting in a mustard field after making its landing on Saturday evening (03/05).
The crash-landing occurred in the lead-up to celebrations to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day on Monday (05/05).
Eyewitness Sharon Gooda was at the Daleacres Caravan and Motorhome Club when the drama unfolded in the sky above her.
The 59-year-old said it was lucky no one was hurt in the incident, as the plane narrowly missed a row of trees as it made its landing.
