BENSON: Residents living near helicopter base RAF Benson have been warned that personnel will be making flights late into the evening this week.

Today and tomorrow the last landing at the base near Wallingford, where Puma and Chinook helicopters are stationed, will be 3am while on Friday it will be at 7.30pm.

A statement on RAF Benson's website said it could tell residents the expected first take off and last landing times but no further details.

It said: "We are not allowed to pre-release details of aircraft movements into or out of RAF Benson owing to security considerations.

"This applies equally to visiting aircraft on an ad-hoc basis or those who may be here for a little longer."
