A huge RAF Sea King helicopter landed in Burnham-On-Sea on Wednesday evening (March 17th) when its crew took part in a local rescue exercise.
The 62ft long helicopter landed at the BASC ground where it was welcomed by a group of Burnham Scouts and members of Burnham Coastguards, RNLI and fire service.
“We always attract a lot of attention wherever we go,” pilot Squadron Leader Olly Padbury told Burnham-On-Sea.com.
“It’s great as we want as many people as possible to learn about the work we do and the service we provide.”
Earlier, the helicopter took part in a winch exercise with members of Burnham’s lifeboat crew in the Bristol Channel.
