Tourists at a beauty spot got the fright of their lives after a low-flying aircraft zoomed past them just a few feet off the ground.
The Bombardier 415 was spotted coming in for a refill at Lake Villeneuve de la Raho in the Pyrenees after helping battle a spate of forest fires in the south of France.
Known as Canadian Water Bombers, the aircraft are specially-designed for firefighting and have been used around the world since 1994.

The sight was quickly captured on camera by a number of tourists before the plane dropped into the nearby lake.
It can carry up to 1,349 gallons of water and was aiding some 2,500 firefighters in France after they were called to the southern tip of the country to battle the blaze that spread across thousands of acres and destroyed homes - but spared the city of Marseilles.
