The shocking footage shows the group, who refer to themselves as 'Nightscape,' gaining access to Doncaster Robin Hood Airport on Saturday evening, sneaking into what appears to be an empty hangar, before climbing into the cockpit of an unmanned plane.

While making their way down the stairs from the cockpit one of the group can be heard whispering 'we're in a f***ing plane'.

Later chief cameraman Harry Gallagher turns the camera on himself and says: "These guys are in the plane.

"This is ridiculous. There's workers over there, and we're just in here."

The next piece of footage in the video, which was posted to the Nightscape YouTube channel on Sunday, shows one of the group saying 'f*** this' before running out of the hangar."

While in the hangar a caption is used on the video stating: '**we didn't touch anything**'
