A Boeing 737 passenger jet has been performing take-off and landing trials at a Kent airport which is seeking permission to expand.
The aircraft spent three hours at London Ashford Airport (LAA) in Lydd on Saturday flying circuits of the area to try to dispel objectors' fears.
The jet is the type that will be used if the airport is granted planning permission for the expansion.
Lydd Airport Action Group is calling for a public inquiry into the plans.
