EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment in the skies over Afghanistan. In the foreground, a Royal Navy Sea King Mk4 helicopter takes center stage, showcasing its majestic presence against the backdrop of rugged terrain. Accompanying this impressive aircraft is an Army Lynx Mk9A, forming a formidable duo as they navigate through the challenging Afghan airspace. The Sea King Mk4 helicopters featured in this image belong to 845 and 846 Naval Air Squadrons, typically stationed at the esteemed Commando Helicopter Force in Somerset's Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton. However, these versatile machines have been deployed as part of the Joint Helicopter Force Afghanistan to provide crucial support for ongoing operations in this war-torn region. With their distinctive "jungly" camouflage pattern, these Sea Kings are well-equipped to tackle any mission thrown their way. Their robust capabilities and advanced technology make them invaluable assets for both naval and land-based operations. Photographer POA (Phot) Mez Merrill has skillfully captured not only the raw power of these aircraft but also their seamless coordination during joint military efforts. This photograph serves as a testament to the dedication and bravery exhibited by both Royal Navy and Army personnel working tirelessly to maintain peace and stability in Afghanistan.
