Santa makes a flying visit to hospitals and hospices in a RAF helicopter

Santa has agreed to a temporary change in transport, as he has swapped his usual sleigh for a helicopter.

The bright yellow Sea King is from Historic Helicopters based in Chard, Somerset and has been flying Santa over the county and into Devon.

Presents have been dropped off at hospitals and hospices, while schoolchildren have also enjoyed waving to Santa and his crew.
