EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment during the maritime demonstration off Oman on 28 October 2001. In this awe-inspiring scene, a FA2 Sea Harrier from 801 Squadron takes flight from the flight deck of HMS Illustrious, the esteemed Fleet Flag Ship. The image showcases not only the power and precision of this iconic aircraft but also highlights the strong naval partnership between Oman and the Royal Navy. As we gaze at this photograph, our eyes are drawn to the background where other notable vessels come into view. Among them are HMS Southampton, Al Muzzar, HMS Cornwall, Qahir Al Amwaj, Fulk Al Salamah, and HMS Ocean - all contributing to an impressive display of naval might. The composition beautifully captures both strength and grace as the Sea Harrier confidently launches itself into the sky. The ramp leading up to it symbolizes endless possibilities for exploration and defense in vast oceans. PO (Phot) Colin Burdon's skillful photography allows us to appreciate not just one element but rather an entire ecosystem that is essential for successful maritime operations. This print serves as a testament to the dedication and professionalism of those serving in both Oman's naval units and Britain's Royal Navy
