Air giant's county visit

A Shropshire museum took delivery of a Jolly Green Giant of a Christmas present from across the ocean when one of the world's largest aircrafts paid a fleeting visit.

A giant RAF C-17 touched down at RAF Cosford yesterday and on board was a Sikorsky MH-53 Pave Low helicopter.

The helicopter – a gift from the Museum of The United States Airforce – is to become the latest exhibit at the museum and will be the only one of its kind in the country. nextpage
