Meet a Winchman from 84 Squadron

In the RAF there is one squadron that has been overseas for it’s entire service history.

84 Squadron based at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus is a small team but they are kept busy supporting troops, carrying out search and rescue and helping with fire fighting across the island.

As part of our Armed Forces Day special reports, Carla Prater has been to meet one of the crew members involved in this unique team.
