EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a Royal Air Force C-17 aircraft at RAF Brize Norton, refuelling before embarking on a crucial mission to deliver humanitarian aid to Northern Iraq. As part of Operation Shader, the UK Aid destined for the war-torn region was loaded onto this mighty aircraft and flown to RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus. From there, it would be transferred onto an RAF Hercules C-130J aircraft for its final leg into Iraq. The image showcases the unwavering commitment of the RAF in supporting those affected by conflict and extremism. The C-17 Globemaster stands tall against the night sky, symbolizing hope amidst darkness. Its cargo holds not only essential supplies but also represents compassion and solidarity towards those in need. Throughout history, RAF C-130 aircraft have played a vital role in delivering much-needed military equipment to assist Iraqi forces combating ISIL extremists. This photograph serves as a reminder of their tireless efforts and dedication. Cpl Neil Bryden from the Royal Air Force skillfully captured this momentous scene that exemplifies bravery and selflessness within our armed forces. It is through such acts of service that we witness humanity's resilience and determination to make a difference even in challenging times.
