Summary

Description
English: Pictured is a formation of five RAF Puma helicopters (5-Ship) from 33 Sqn, RAF Benson.

This formation was part of some 20 helicopters which carried a 1,300-strong 2 PARA Battlegroup into action on Friday 4th December on Exercise Wessex Storm.

British, French and American paratroopers gave a powerful demonstration of how they can go side-by-side into battle by air.

This element of Exercise Wessex Storm was the largest British-led air assault since Operation Moshtarak in Afghanistan in February.

The Battlegroup was being challenged to beat back the fictious invasion of an ally by a hostile neighbour, fighting both conventional military units and militia-type forces.

Before launching the air assault, troops had parachuted in to capture Keevil Airfield with additional personnel, stores and vehicles delivered by RAF and French Armee de l’Air A400M transport aircraft.
