EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a Lynx Mk7 helicopter from 847 Naval Air Squadron (NAS) participating in Exercise Gadfly over the French Armee de Terre Base at Gap-Tallard, Southern France. The exercise aimed to push the aircrew's skills and test the Lynx Mk7's performance capabilities in hostile environments. In preparation for their upcoming deployment to Afghanistan, they underwent high altitude mountain training. During Exercise Gadfly, 847 NAS deployed three Lynx Mk7 aircraft with logistical support to France specifically for mountain flying training. This intense training was crucial as it would equip the squadron to operate effectively in hot and power limited environments that they might encounter during their mission. The photograph showcases the breathtaking landscape of the French mountains beneath the Lynx Mk7 as it soars through the sky. It serves as a testament to both the skill of the aircrew and the advanced capabilities of this versatile helicopter. Taken by LA (Phot) David Bunting, this image is a reminder of how armed forces undergo rigorous exercises like Exercise Gadfly to ensure they are fully prepared for challenging missions ahead.
