The HH-60G Pave Hawk came down at a nature reserve in Cley next the Sea on Tuesday night.

Aerial footage shows the extent of the damage at the wreckage site, which the BBC's says "is the size of a football pitch".

Police have warned people to stay away from the site where the helicopter came down because live ammunition is scattered across the area.
