FOD Plods are crucial in maintaining the safety of aircraft operations by ensuring that the runway, taxiways, and other areas are free of debris that could potentially damage aircraft. By working together we make the airfield a safer place to travel to and from. MOD Gibraltar

With the recent retirement of the Puma in RAF service, we look back to 2006 when 33 Sqn, based at RAF Benson, visited the Rock for training with the Royal Gibraltar Regiment. The Pumas then departed the rock, heading on to Exercise in Northern Africa. Adios to the Mighty Puma.
