A FORMATION of Puma helicopters will be seen in Shropshire's skies today.
Starting at RAF Benson in Oxfordshire, the flypast to mark 50 years of service in the Royal Air Force will travel north along the east of England before turning at RAF Scampton and returning via RAF Shawbury in north Shropshire.
The display is due to fly from the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire at 2pm, arriving at Shobdon in Herefordshire at 2.45pm.
The formation will be passing the north Shropshire base in between those two points.
The RAF said the Puma, a medium-lift support helicopter, has flown on combat and humanitarian operations around the world over the last five decades, including Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, Mozambique and the Caribbean.
The helicopters have also supported flood relief efforts and the coronavirus pandemic response in Britain.
