This is the scary amount of damage caused to the cockpit of a Red Arrows plane after a bird smashed head on during a demo in a Welsh town.
The jet - Red 6 - was taking part in the Rhyl Air Show 2022 during the Bank Holiday when the incident happened. Eyewitnesses reported hearing a loud "pop" before Red 6 broke-off from the rest of the group's formation. The jet's Red Arrows teammates were then left circling above Rhyl for quite some time - until they received permission to return back to base, as concerned people watched on from the shore. It was later confirmed that Red 6 had been the victim of a "bird strike" - a bird had collided with the jet mid-air, NorthWalesLive reports.
Twitter user WelshieDale2022 captured the aftermath of the damage which left Red Arrows fans gasping in shock.
