EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as a Royal Air Force Harrier Jump Jet patiently awaits departure from the iconic HMS Ark Royal. The image, taken by 3rd SAC Mark Dixon of RAF Valley, showcases the close collaboration between the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy. On this momentous day, four Harriers from 1 (F) Squadron (RAF) and 800 NAS (Royal Navy) disembark from HMS Ark Royal for their final journey together. As they sail towards Hamburg, Germany, every member on board - including the Captain, aircrew, and ships company - works diligently to ensure a smooth takeoff. Wing Commander Haines is captured as he becomes the last Harrier aircraft to leave The Ark. This event holds great historical significance as all these aircraft departed RAF Cottesmore on November 18th, 2010 and embarked on Friday November 19th before finally departing on November 24th. The photograph serves as a testament to the unwavering dedication and teamwork displayed by both branches of the Armed Forces during this memorable occasion. It symbolizes not only their shared commitment but also marks an end of an era for these remarkable machines. This extraordinary snapshot was recognized in its category as part of RAF Photographer of Year competition sponsored by Calumet. Taken by CPL Mark Dixon with his keen eye for detail capturing WG CDR Haines' departure aboard HMS Ark Royal without mentioning any commercial use associated with it.
