RAF Puma Helicopter And Night City

A Puma helicopter (one of a pair) takes-off from Ruskin Park at 10.50pm, on 7th March 2017, in the London borough of Lambeth, England. Pumas in ones or twos occasionally land for a few minutes with engines running before departing again for other destinations. It's believed these landings help train flight crews for future evacuation of VIPs in times of emergency using open space locations like public parks. On this occasion, the two aircraft landed with lights off (so perhaps using night-vision) in the darkness.
