EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an RAF BAE146 QC in action at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan. Operated by the esteemed 32 (The Royal Squadron), this aircraft is a vital asset of the RAF 904 Expeditionary Air Wing stationed at Kandahar Air Base. The 904 EAW plays a crucial role in supporting and operating RAF assets within the challenging environment of Kandahar Airfield. With their Hercules C-130J and BAE 146 aircraft, they execute numerous air mobility movements annually while also conducting attack and intelligence missions through detachments of RAF Tornado GR4 fast jets. Furthermore, the EAW extends its support to a detachment responsible for launching and recovering RAF and Reaper remotely piloted air systems. This comprehensive approach ensures seamless movement of personnel and equipment across the vast eight million square mile joint area of operations under the purview of 83 Expeditionary Air Group. Sergeant Ross Tilly from the Royal Air Force skillfully captured this momentous image, highlighting not only the remarkable capabilities but also showcasing the dedicated efforts of baggage handlers, who play an integral part in ensuring smooth operations during campaigns like Operation Herrick. In essence, this photograph encapsulates both power and precision as it portrays one facet of British military excellence amidst challenging conditions in Afghanistan.
