EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the operations of 27 Squadron RAF, as a Chinook helicopter carries essential supplies over the rugged terrain of Afghanistan. The brave men and women of this squadron are dedicated to supporting 45 Commando RM and elements of 3 Commando Brigade, ensuring that troops operating in the challenging mountains have everything they need to carry out their missions effectively. The versatility of these mighty Chinooks is on full display here, as they not only transport troops but also heavy artillery and crucial stores replenishment. This particular operation, known as Operation Jacana, highlights the unwavering commitment of both the Royal Marines and the Royal Air Force in serving their country. As we gaze at this image, we witness a snapshot from Bagram Airbase where teamwork between different branches of armed forces is evident. The powerful rotor blades slice through the air while carrying vital equipment to sustain those fighting on foreign soil. It serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, our military personnel remain steadfast in their duty to protect and serve. POA (Phot) Tony Leather has skillfully captured this momentous scene with his lens; his expertise allows us to appreciate not only the sheer power and capability of these aircraft but also the dedication and sacrifice embodied by those who operate them.
