EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic HMS Illustrious, an aircraft carrier sailing off the picturesque coast of Great Britain. The vessel is accompanied by the formidable Naval Strike Wing (NSW) Harrier aircraft, which are embarked on board. Comprising 800 Sqn and 801 Sqn, these elite squadrons are based at RAF Cottesmore, known as the Joint Force Harrier's home. In this remarkable image, we witness three NSW Harriers preparing for takeoff from the flight deck of HMS Illustrious. Their sleek frames exude power and precision as they await their moment to soar through the skies. Meanwhile, one lucky Harrier can be seen gracefully departing from the ship's ski slope. The sheer magnitude of this scene highlights both the strength and versatility of naval aviation in action. As part of Royal Navy's arsenal, HMS Illustrious stands tall as a symbol of maritime supremacy while providing a vital platform for these extraordinary aircraft. Captured by LA (PHOT) Kelly McAlinden with utmost skill and artistry, this print serves as a testament to our armed forces' unwavering dedication and commitment to defending our nation's interests at sea. It reminds us all that behind every powerful military operation lies countless hours of training and teamwork that enable such awe-inspiring moments like those depicted here aboard HMS Illustrious.
