✈ 11 Minutes of RAF SA330 Puma Action at London Southend Airport 15/02/2021

Hello and welcome to SOUTHEND AVIATION!
Today London Southend Airport was greeted by 2 RAF SA330 Puma helicopters not once but twice! ZA940 and XW213 arrived in formation at 12:00 and departed at 13:30. After doing some simulated combat exercise up at the Army barracks in Colchester the pair arrived back for fuel at 15:10 and departed back to base shortly after. Hope everyone enjoys the sights and sounds from the RAF's oldest aircraft in the fleet! Enjoy!

I first flew in one in 1972 while in military training at Leek camp, they took over from the Wessex helicopter both lovely machines.

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

‘Puma’ is the name of the model. Westland Helicopters (now Leonardo/Agusta Westland) in Yeovil, built these Pumas
