Videos show an RAF aircraft after it landed at Southend Airport in a short one hour stop during a training flight.
The C130 Hercules was on a training flight from RAF Brize Norton when it landed at the airport for a short one hour stop before taking off again to continue with its original training flight.
Southend Airport staff has given fans an exclusive look inside the aircraft during its short stop.

Its videos include close-ups of the equipment, "all neat and tidy" according to a spokesman for the airport.
The spokesman added in a tweet: "Members of the military can spend up to 16 hours onboard so no wonder they run a tight ship."
Another video showed fans the inside of the cockpit, as the spokesman apologised for not knowing what any of the buttons do.
