The Defence Helicopter Flying School (DHFS) is based at RAF Shawbury. An independent unit within the Station, its task is to provide basic single-engine helicopter training for the Royal Navy, Army, Royal Air Force,  and some overseas countries.  Additional conversion and refresher courses are also provided for qualified aircrew.

On completion of the single-engine phase, the DHFS also provides advanced twin-engine helicopter training for RAF aircrew, plus other special courses for the three Services.

This website is intended to provide an insight into the role and structure of the DHFS.
