EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic HMS Illustrious as it approaches Glen Mallan in Scotland. The purpose of this visit was twofold: to replenish the ship's ammunition and to provide the Ships Company with an opportunity for Adventurous Training (AT). Glen Mallan Jetty, located on Loch Long, served as a convenient docking point for the vessel, situated merely seven miles away from Faslane Naval Base. This strategic location allowed for a smooth and efficient resupply mission. The photograph itself is a testament to the exceptional skills of LPHOT Keith Morgan, who skillfully captured this momentous occasion. His talent did not go unnoticed, as this image was awarded a Highly Commended in the prestigious Best Maritime Image Award during the Royal Navy's Peregrine Trophy competition in 2013. The award-winning shot perfectly showcases various elements associated with naval operations – from ships and submarines to aircraft carriers like HMS Illustrious. It highlights both their sheer size and intricate equipment that play vital roles within these maritime endeavors. As we admire this remarkable photograph, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also recognize the dedication and expertise of those serving in our armed forces who ensure our safety at sea.
