A plane full of hundreds of toy giraffes has taken to the skies for the second year.
Last year, the RAF Voyager aircraft took off with 291 giraffes occupying its passenger seats.
Now, crews have increased that number, taking 500 of the cuddly toys into the air from RAF Brize Norton.
The plane was taking part in an air-to-air refuelling mission.
The giraffes will now be put up for auction with a certificate of authenticity to say they have flown on board the Voyager.
Money raised from the sales will be donated to charity Giraffes On Tour, which supports Great Ormond Street Hospital.
