IT'S the moment a dog show on the ground took second place to a dog fight in the skies.

The confrontation in question involved a group of replica First World War planes that recreated one of the battles from the 1914-18 conflict.

The dramatic display was among the highlights of the Romsey Show, which once again attracted a huge crowd.

All eyes looked skyward as the British and German aircraft chased each other through the clouds, smoke trailing from their undercarriage every time one of their opponents scored a “hit”.

Other attractions at the show were briefly forgotten as the dashing air aces pursued each other just above the treetops.
