Watch this incredible video of an RAF C-17 aircraft making a hair-raising landing on the remote St Helena island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

The aircraft from the Royal Air Force's 99 Squadron is the largest ever to land on the island.

Challenging winds from the rock formations make landing particularly difficult.
