Tom Cruise has been causing a stir in Cambridgeshire after he was spotted filming scenes for his latest blockbuster movie.

The Hollywood actor, who is now 52, was seen carrying out what's been called his most dangerous film stunt yet and it involved one of our military airbases.

Cruise is not one to shy away from doing his own stunts including hanging by one hand from a sheer cliff for the opening sequence of Mission Impossible 2.

In Mission Impossible 4 his antics involved running around the outside of the tallest building in the world in Dubai which was captured on camera by Caitlin and Simon Eisenmann from Norwich who were staying in the hotel during filming.

So it's no surprise that for the latest film in the hit series, Tom is up to his usual dare-devil stunts. This time hanging from a huge Airbus A400M Atlas military transporter aircraft while flying 5,000 feet in the sky above RAF Wittering near Peterborough.

Just up the road in Stamford there have been sightings of him eating out in the town.
