Framed Print of RAF Mark 4 Chinook Helicopter
A MK 4 Chinook helicopter takes off from RAF Odiham during a testing exercise.
The first upgraded Royal Air Force (RAF). Chinook Mk4 helicopters deployed to Afghanistan in late November, less than six months after their introduction to frontline squadrons.
With an initial release to service granted in May 2012, RAF Chinooks crews were able to begin their operational work-up on the Mk 4 before declaring an initial operating capability in June 2012. This in turn allowed the first RAF crews to operate the Chinook Mk4 in support of UK security operations during the London Olympics from June to September 2012 prior to preparing for their deployment to Afghanistan.
Under Project Julius, the entire RAF Chinook fleet of 46 aircraft is being upgraded with the Thales digital glass cockpit procured through prime contractor Boeing, together with upgraded Honeywell T-55-714 engines. Getting the first Chinook Mk4s into Afghanistan by December 2012 has been the result of a Herculean effort by everyone involved in the Julius programme, Group Captain Dom Toriati, RAF Chinook Force Commander and Station Commander RAF Odiham, told Shephard. All the agencies involved in this programme have worked hard to help de-risk and produce a credible support and airworthiness solution which everyone could sign-up to and helped deliver the Chinook Mk4 into theatre.
Royal Air Force Odiham is situated in North Hampshire, 46 Miles south west of London. The nearest large town is Basingstoke, 7 miles to the West. The working population of the Station is about 2, 000, of which around 100 are civilians. The British Army protects the United Kingdom's interests at home and abroad, providing a safe and secure environment in which all British citizens can live and prosper. © Crown Copyright
