XW232 Puma in from RAF Benson for JET A1 Fuel & Lunch.
They had departed from RAF Shawbury and popped in on their way to do some mountain flying.
It’s always great to see the military at Welshpool, we don’t see Pumas very often.

After another record breaking day for visitors, what a way to finish off the day with these two spitfires giving us a low flypast on their way home from Scotland.
