EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment in the heart of Afghanistan. Against the backdrop of a stunning sunset, Royal Air Force Hercules transport aircraft stand tall at Kandahar Airfield, ready to embark on a crucial mission. Their purpose? To airlift soldiers from 3 Scots, The Black Watch, who are bound for Camp Bastion in Helmand province. As darkness descends upon the Middle East, these brave troops prepare themselves for a 12-day operation that will test their strength and resilience. The silhouette of the Hercules aircraft against the vibrant sky serves as a reminder of their unwavering commitment to duty and service. In this image by SAC Neil Chapman, we witness not only the military might but also the beauty that can be found amidst chaos. The contrasting colors between earth and sky symbolize hope and determination even in challenging times. The presence of UK forces in Afghanistan is evident through this photograph - an embodiment of Op Herrick's operations carried out by our dedicated servicemen and women. It serves as a poignant tribute to those who selflessly put their lives on hold to protect others. Let us honor these soldiers as they embark on this perilous journey into unknown territory, guided by courage and driven by an unyielding sense of duty.
