RAF Puma 50th Anniversary

[Tranquil]

Special design applied to Aérospatiale SA 330 (HC.2) Puma of The Royal Air Force (RAF) based at RAF Benson with a special marking for the 50 years (1971/2021) of Puma service in the RAF.
The aircraft scheme is similar to that which the first Puma HC Mk 1 aircraft were painted when they were delivered in 1971 but with several notable differences :

- the engine housing boasts the badges of all the squadrons who have flown the Puma, both as a HC Mk 1 and a HC Mk 2
- the tail fin is emblazoned with the union flag
- the standard Royal Air Force logo on the cabin door has been replaced with the bespoke Puma 50 logo.



Much thanks

Mark
