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.
