Today RAF Benson waved goodbye to two of the Station’s Pumas as they began their journey to Akrotiri in Cyprus to join 84 Squadron. RAF Benson will soon have 3 Pumas in Cyprus conducting various air operations in the Mediterranean.
We will be reporting on their progress over the next few days as they complete the 2,000+ mile journey across Europe.
