Info:

As one of the world’s most successful modern battlefield helicopters, the Westland Puma HC.1 entered service with the Royal Air Force in 1971 and represented a huge technological advance over the Belvedere and Whirlwind aircraft it replaced. An incredibly flexible aviation asset, the Puma is tasked with the tactical movement of troops, weapons, ammunition and general support supplies and is capable of operating in all weather conditions, by day or night. With room to carry 16 fully equipped troops, or up to two tonnes of freight either internally, or slung from a hard point under the aircraft’s fuselage, the Puma can also operate in search and rescue and casualty evacuation roles, making this one of the most useful and flexible aircraft in the RAF. This flexibility has seen the Puma required to operate in areas of conflict all over the world, most noticeably during both Gulf Wars, where the aircraft continued to build on its excellent reputation. With the original RAF Pumas serving for over forty years, an upgrade programme will see this superb machine remain in service for many years to come.

  1. RAF Puma 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 29th Mar 2021

    I absolutely love helicopters! I got to see these British Puma’s first hand while being stationed in England between 1988 - 1991 then again in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait during Desert Storm.
    Corgi does an excellent replica in any/all versions of this helicopter.
