Firefighters have stormed to the scene near the airport in the Essex seaside town.

Thick smoke could be seen billowing from an aircraft hangar seen for miles in dramatic images.

Fire crews were called to the blaze at London Southend Airport 10.42am.

An airport spokesman said it was an Air Livery hangar on the north side of the site that was "burning".
