It’s a Benson Puma I’m afraid. 33 Squadron.

ITN claims it was a Puma but it looks more like a Chinook to me, 3 x crew and 9 x personel, not sure a Puma can hold that many.

Looking at news reports the wreck is a Chinook.

BBC now saying it’s RAF, with 12 hurt but nobody killed. Fingers crossed, let’s hope it stays that way.
