The helicopter will be entering the county via the A40 at Burford and initially travelling along the A40 to Northleach.

It will then join the A429 and continue onto the A417/A419 at Cirencester for it's onward journey through Wiltshire.

This will be the third time in the space of a month that an RAF Chinook helicopter has been transported through the Cotswolds.

A spokesperson for Gloucestershire Police warned: "Due to the size of the load and the escort taking narrow roads, drivers are advised to allow extra time for their journeys or find alternative routes.

"We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause."
