CHILDREN visiting the Museum of Army Flying at Middle Wallop during their half-term holiday were treated to a new exhibit - a Huey Cobra helicopter.

It was built to be the world's first attack helicopter and the forerunner of the Apache.

The new exhibit, which is in pristine condition despite serving with the Americans in Vietnam, is on loan from the US Army.

Other activities at the museum included dressing up in combat gear, games, collages and a chance to have photos taken in the Cobra as an American helicopter pilot.
