RAF Puma
This weekend just gone saw the annual Armed Forces Day on Plymouth Hoe. As I'm ex Royal Navy I always like to go down for the day and support our troops.
Unfortunately this year, I'm working weekends so couldn't make it, but on Friday evening I ventured up to The Hoe for sunset and got a few shots of the static helicopter displays they had ready for the next day.
The Aérospatiale SA 330 Puma is a four-bladed, twin-engined medium transport/utility helicopter. The Puma was originally built by Sud Aviation of France, and continued to be made by Aérospatiale. Its first flight was in 1965 and since then The Puma has seen combat in a range of theatres by a number of different operators; significant operations include the Gulf War, the South African Border War, the Portuguese Colonial War, the Yugoslav Wars, the Lebanese Civil War, the Iraq War, and the Falklands War.
