Did you catch the Running Stormtrooper out on route? 😍
This is Jez. He's raised over £70,000 for charity by running races in his costume & the #RoyalParksHalf was his last EVER run! He's fundraised for @spreadasmileuk & @MakeAWishUK.

Looking forward to the @RoyalParksHalf tomorrow in London. This is the farewell run for The Running Stormtrooper. One last public effort for the charities, even though I’m chuffed to bits with what’s been achieved and raised already. @MakeAWishUK @spreadasmileuk

Don’t worry team, I’ve held the fort whilst you’ve been gallivanting around the desert! This video is epic and reminds me of when we were there in 2019. Well done Puma Force and ALL of the supporting elements 👍

Exercise IMPERIAL ZEPHYR is providing essential environmental training for the Puma Force, based at the @NAFECPAO.
Our ground crew, engineers and aircrew hone their skills in an unfamiliar environment before deploying. Here’s a little insight into the aircrew experience...

Two Puma helicopters are expected to be flying and landing in the Bristol and Cardiff areas this afternoon and into this evening (24 March).
These flights are part of the essential training for our crews before they deploy on Operation TORAL in Afghanistan.

#OnThisDay in 1971 the first Puma helicopters were delivered to the @RoyalAirForce, and has proved to be a versatile option for moving troops and equipment around the battlefield - thanks for all the lifts over the last 50 years!

#OTD in 1971, the first Puma helicopters were delivered to the @RoyalAirForce: XW198 and XW199.
The versatile medium support helicopter has carried troops, cargo and casualties across the globe for 50 years, whether in combat, disaster relief or peacekeeping operations. #Puma50
