EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable capabilities of the RAF Chinook Mk3 as it practices landing in a confined area. The Chinook, known for its versatility and adaptability, is an indispensable support helicopter that thrives in diverse environments ranging from freezing arctic conditions to intense desert warfare operations. With a fleet size second only to the US Army, the Royal Air Force operates an impressive total of 34 HC2s, 6 HC2As, and 8 HC3s (which are yet to enter operational service). These helicopters form part of the renowned Chinook Wing based at RAF Odiham in Hampshire. Serving as the heavy-lift component within the Joint Helicopter Command (JHC), this wing supports three operational squadrons: No 7 Squadron, No 18 Squadron, and No 27 Squadron alongside their Operational Conversion Flight. RAF Odiham's dedication to excellence is evident through this stunning image capturing one of their MK3 Chinooks skillfully maneuvering in tight spaces. This display highlights not only the pilot's exceptional skills but also emphasizes how crucial these helicopters are for various military missions requiring precision and agility.
