🚁 Yesterday at 4:50pm, 3 iconic RAF Puma HC Mk2 helicopters flew over the RAF Museum London as part of their farewell tour.
In service since 1971, they’ve played a vital role in countless missions. Thanks for 50+ years! 💙

Lots of people sat and stood around picnic benches under a blue sky. Newark Air Museum cafe borders the far right of the picture, and a Lightning aircraft is in the background on the left.
People stood out on grass. A patio and picnic bench are on the left, a Jaguar aircraft in the background. The sky is blue with cloud on the horizon.
People stood on grass looking into the blue sky. There is cloud on the horizon. The nose of a black Canberra aircraft is visible far left.
The front fuselage of the black Canberra is now in frame on the left. People are stood looking into the blue sky. Just above the cloud line on the horizon, in the centre of the picture, three Puma helicopters in a chevron shape are just visible.
Well that was worth the afternoon off work! Loads of people at @newarkairmuseum.bsky.social for the Puma Farewell flypast #54andout I didn't get great pictures but I knew others would get those so I focussed on waving!
Well done !!
