The PUMA HC-2 is based at which RAF station?

• A. RAF Benson
• B. RAF Odiham
• C. RAF Waddington
• D. RAF Marham

Answer: (A)

Knowing where aircraft types are stationed helps you answer basing questions. The Puma HC-2 is a light transport helicopter used by the RAF, and its regular home is RAF Benson in Oxfordshire, where a helicopter unit operates and maintains the type. RAF Odiham is the base for the Chinook heavy-lift fleet, RAF Waddington is a major multi-role base with transport and ISR responsibilities, and RAF Marham hosts fast jets such as Typhoon and F-35. These bases serve different roles, so for the Puma HC-2 the correct base is RAF Benson.
