EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, two Royal Air Force Chinook helicopters are seen leaving a landing zone in Afghanistan. The brave soldiers from the QRH Battle Group, comprising troops from Support Company 1 Yorks alongside C Coy QRH, were deployed on Operation Zmaray Ibda (Lions Discovery). Their mission was to apprehend an insurgent commander in a rural outreach of Lashkar Gah. The significance of this operation lies not only in the deployment by Chinook helicopter but also in the partnership with the Afghan National Police (ANP). This joint effort showcases the collaborative nature of international missions and highlights the determination to bring stability and security to Afghanistan. As these powerful helicopters take off into the vast expanse of Afghan skies, one cannot help but admire their strength and resilience. The RAF's Chinooks play a vital role in supporting ground operations, providing essential transportation for troops and equipment. This image serves as a reminder of the bravery and dedication exhibited by both British soldiers and their Afghan counterparts. It symbolizes their unwavering commitment to protecting communities and restoring peace amidst challenging circumstances. Sgt Wes Calder RLC skillfully captures this moment through his lens, immortalizing an important chapter in Operation Zmaray Ibda's campaign history.
