Summary edit

Description
English: A 33 Squadron Puma HC Mk2 Helicopter on the ground during Exercise Jebel Sahara in Morocco.

The Puma HC Mk1 reached its Out of Service date with the Royal Air Force in December 2012. After a life extension programme to deliver a significantly upgraded aircraft, the Puma HC Mk2 took to the skies with an RAF crew in September 2013.

The Puma HC Mk2 boasts two new powerful engines, which will provide a major increase in performance, especially in hot and high conditions, and an additional internal fuel tank that increases its range and endurance.

The new glass cockpit includes a world-class four axis digital autopilot, secure communications and an advanced Flight Management System.
