The RAF has been helping to tackle a large wildfire which has already killed two people and devastated around 39 square miles of land in southern Cyprus.
A least one Chinook from RAF Akrotiri has been dumping water onto the blaze, which broke out on Wednesday lunchtime, with other aircraft from Spain and Jordan also assisting.
The fire, raging in the Limassol District, is close to the Western Sovereign Base Area, which is home to RAF Akrotiri and Episkopi Garrison, where 1st Battalion, The Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment is currently based🚒
