Back on TWO feet! Harrison Ford walks unaided for the first time as he heads out in his plane following ankle injury on Star Wars set

It was just over a week since Harrison Ford was pictured hobbling towards a private jet with help from a leg support at Santa Monica Airport.
However when he returned on Tuesday, the Hollywood actor was happy to walk unaided as he arrived on the tarmac to take his Cessna T182T plane for a ride.
The 72-year-old had been using a hands-free iWalk after breaking his left ankle during filming for Star Wars: Episode 7 in early June.

The father-of-five appeared to be back to his best as he walked towards his small plane, however a golf buggy was seen waiting to transport him.
The certified helicopter pilot was dressed casually for his outing, teaming a black T-Shirt with khaki trousers and brown shoes.
He was joined in the cockpit by a male companion who sat on his right, before taking off and making the most of the bright sunshine.

The actor was injured when a piece of his character Hans Solo's spaceship, the Millennium Falcon, fell on his leg during filming.
Harrison was airlifted from Pinewood Studios to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, which specialises in fractures following the incident.
His injury meant producers had to reshuffle the filming schedule for Episode 7, which is due for release in December 2015.

At the time of his injury, a statement from Disney and Lucasfilm said: 'Harrison is doing well and is looking forward to returning to the set soon.'
They confirmed Harrison is hoping to return to the set of the $200million film next month following a two-week break by cast and crew.
Lucasfilm said: 'In August, the team will take a brief two-week hiatus while adjustments to the current production schedule are made as actor Harrison Ford recovers from a leg injury.
'Shooting remains on track to wrap in the fall (autumn) with the film scheduled for release on December 18, 2015.'
