TROOPS were spotted jumping out of an aircraft in Oxfordshire.
The soldiers, who are believed to have flown from RAF Brize Norton, leapt out of the military plane before deploying their parachute and floating to the ground.
Resident Matt Hancock, from Heyford, managed to snap photos of the troops and said it took place last Monday over the village of Weston-on-the-Green, near Bicester.
