EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic moment when a Royal Navy Sea King helicopter from 845 Naval Air Squadron lands in the vast desert of Jordan. As part of Exercise Pashtun Commando 2013, Royal Naval personnel have been deployed to Aqaba for Environmental Training and Pre-Deployment Training. The training takes place in the arid Jordanian desert surrounding Aqaba, providing essential preparation for future operations. In this particular image, the Sea King helicopter experiences a brownout as it touches down on the sandy terrain. The swirling dust and sand create an almost ethereal atmosphere around the aircraft, showcasing both its power and vulnerability amidst nature's elements. The dedicated aircrews and ground crews of 845 Naval Air Squadron are seen here honing their skills in challenging conditions. This joint effort between Joint Helicopter Command (JHC) and Commando Helicopter Force (CHF) ensures that these brave men and women are well-prepared for any mission they may face. As we admire this photograph captured by POA (Phot) Mez Merrill, we can't help but appreciate the immense skill required to navigate such demanding environments. It serves as a reminder of the dedication and professionalism exhibited by our armed forces as they train rigorously to protect our nation's interests at home and abroad.
