These pictures show how the RAF joined the flood relief effort in Doncaster

The RAF Chinook mk6a helicopter airlifted stones to help strengthen flood defences around Bentley overnight on Sunday.

They were called upon to move tonnes of aggregate to provide a raised access at Bentley Ings to allow an Environment Agency field team to shore up the flood defences.

Overall 40 tonnes of aggregate was moved in 10 shuttles.

These pictures were taken on the scene by Cpl R Travis, from RAF Odiham.
