THERE will be a flypast of six huge military aircraft this morning in Colchester.

The Parachute Regiment is warning residents near Merville Barracks they may hear the aircraft, which will appear lower than normal.

The flypast has been planned to avoid disruption and flight over sensitive built up areas, however, residents will still hear the noise.
