Two Chinook helicopters have been spotted flying over Reading this lunchtime.
The military helicopters were spotted flying over the town centre at around 12.45pm by our reporter, flying over Bridge Street.
The low-flying helicopters made the office window's shake as they went over.
Ben from Caversham managed to capture the moment they flew over.

RAF Chinooks are described as 'an advanced multi-mission helicopter' and can carry vehicles, artillery pieces or up to 44 troops.
Equipped with a cargo system, it can haul 12,000kg of equipment and is capable of a maximum speed of 187mph.
The Royal Air Force tweeted earlier to day Chinooks are bringing British Army Troops over to Finland as part of a summer training exercise.
They said: "The summer exercise period is an opportunity for both Forces to work alongside one another whilst strengthening the defensive integrity of the Baltic Region."
