The flypast of a Puma helicopter will feature the seasonal special guest.

Santa will fly over local schools to allow schoolchildren to give a wave.

As part of the exercise, RAF Benson are publishing scheduled timings and also giving advance notification over the lower than usual altitude for those caring for animals.

Santa tells us he will revert to the conventional reindeer led sleigh mode of transport we're used to associating with him on Christmas Eve.
