RAF Odiham HC3 Chinooks on the pan at RAF Leeming hot-point refueling.
The Chinook is an able and versatile support helicopter that can be armed with crew served weapons to provide self-defence, and can be operated from land or ship in such diverse environments as the Arctic, jungle and desert.
Chinook aircraft are used for trooping, resupply, and battlefield Casualty Evacuation (CASEVAC), and for carrying internal and/or underslung loads. They can carry up to 55 troops (more, usually 24 to 40) and/or up to 10 tonnes of freight. A secondary role includes Search and Rescue (SAR)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the powerful presence of RAF Odiham HC3 Chinooks on the pan at RAF Leeming during a hot-point refueling operation. The Chinook, known for its exceptional versatility and reliability, serves as an invaluable support helicopter in various challenging environments such as the Arctic, jungle, and desert. Equipped with crew served weapons for self-defense purposes, this remarkable aircraft can be operated from both land and ship. Its capabilities extend beyond troop transportation and resupply missions to include battlefield Casualty Evacuation (CASEVAC) and carrying internal or underslung loads of up to 10 tonnes. With a capacity to accommodate up to 55 troops (typically ranging from 24 to 40) or transport significant amounts of freight, the Chinook plays a crucial role in military operations. Additionally, it fulfills Search and Rescue (SAR) duties when required. The dedication of SAC Mark Parkinson is evident through this stunning photograph entered into the RAF Photographic Competition 2016. It beautifully showcases not only the impressive machinery but also highlights the skillful teamwork involved in executing hot-point refueling maneuvers. As we admire this image captured by Armed Forces personnel, let us appreciate their unwavering commitment to ensuring our safety while showcasing their expertise through breathtaking visuals like these.
