Story

In case you didn't know 2021 marks 50 years of RAF service for the mighty Puma. To mark this milestone some members of 33 Sqn here at the TORAL Aviation Detachment have set ourselves a challenge in the hope of raising some money for a very good cause. 

The Challenge:

One evening in early April, when our commitments allow, we will endeavour to lift 50 tonnes (50,000kg) per person, in under 5 hours.

We are fortunate enough to have access to some (Covid secure) gym equipment at here at TAD, where we will try and shift the weight using standard weight lifting exercises, not counting body weight.

The Challengers:

Gibbo, Gen, Cush, Mulls, Mikey.

If you are able to donate we'd be incredibly grateful. The RAF Benevolent Fund do a lot of important work supporting serving and retired personnel and their families.

Wish us luck, Loyalty!
