A ginger moggy has become the first cat in the world to get a pilot's licence.

Elsa, pictured below in her one-seater plane, amazed aviation experts with her flying skills around Rushmere in Suffolk.

Her owner Mavis Pawsey said: "She liked sitting in the plane, so one day for a laugh we opened a bedroom window and threw her out. To our surprise she flew around for a bit before landing safely in the garden."

Elsa now spends most days zooming above homes in Ipswich, chasing birds in the sky.

A wag said: "She'll soon be flying for British Hairways."
