More than 400 people have taken part in UK's only charity plane pull.
The 15th year of the Dorset Plane Pull saw 21 teams pulling a 35-tonne Boeing 737 a distance of 50m along Bournemouth Airport's runway on Monday morning.
Participants, who had to pull the equivalent of seven-and-a-half adult elephants, raised money for 15 charities.
The event has been running since 2009, raising £300k in total, and founder Richard Griffin said it was "crazy, lots of fun and extremely rewarding".
