Puma Road Runner - London

Post by WAP » Thu Aug 20, 2015 12:37 pm

Spotted on a low loader heading Anti clockwise on the M25 near the M4 junction (Heathrow), didn't get the reg but it looked like it was in good shape. Any ideas?
Cheers! Jamie

Puma 2 test aircraft ended up at Boscombe on a low loader the other day.

XW224 was the Qinetiq/Rotary Wing Test and Evaluation Squadron aircraft, one would expect that this is the aircraft Ellins was referring to.

It's XW232, the first of the HC.2 conversions :)

Perhaps this will be used for the new Defensive Aids Mod package that was recently announced for the Puma fleet?
