A pilot has been killed after a vintage aircraft he was flying crashed at an air show.
The wooden plane plunged into a field just 300 yards (274 metres) from a crowd of 600 people attending a military pageant.
Police said they worked alongside the fire and rescue service, East of England Ambulance Service and the aerodrome's own fire service to help the pilot after the incident, which happened at around 9.45am.
The man, who was in his 40s, has been named locally as Trevor Roche.
