The best female powerlifters in the Royal Air Force have been battling it out in the second annual all-female competition at RAF Cosford.

The 2024 Ladies Lift Off saw Flying Officer Jess Lythgoe win the event, while AS1 Jenna Allen secured second place.

Corporal Nicola Shutt also had a place on the podium after finishing in third.

"This is the third RAF powerlifting event I have attended and each time I learn something new," said Fg Off Lythgoe.

"I was able to hit some personal bests and will take the new techniques learnt into my next competition."
