South Kent residents have been entertained by two army helicopters performing aerial acrobatics this evening.

The two Dauphin Class air vehicles - which normally support the 22nd Special Air Service - were spotted over Ashford, Folkestone and Dover.

Many pictures have been posted on social media showing the pair engaging in "rather spectacular 'chase me' flying", according to one post about the sight.

Other Facebook users have reported them buzzing, or flying low over, residential areas.

Kent Police and the Army have both been contacted for more details.
