EDITORS COMMENTS
The majestic HMS Illustrious sails gracefully on Loch Long, Scotland, as it makes its way towards the ammunitioning jetty at Glenmallan in Argyll. This impressive aircraft carrier is preparing to embark on a crucial mission inside the Arctic Circle for eight weeks of rigorous cold weather training. The ultimate goal of this training is to participate in Exercise Cold Response, a NATO exercise led by Norway and involving ships from Denmark, the Netherlands, and Sweden. Once the exercise concludes successfully, HMS Illustrious will assume its role as the United Kingdom's high-readiness helicopter and commando carrier. During this arduous journey, she will carry her loyal Lynx and Sea King helicopters alongside a company of Royal Marines from Plymouth-based 42 Commando. These brave marines will be joined ashore by landing forces from both the Netherlands and the United States. As an integral part of this operation, amphibious assault ship HMS Bulwark will also join forces with HMS Illustrious during Exercise Cold Response. Together they form an unstoppable force ready to face any challenge that comes their way. This print captures not only the sheer power and beauty of HMS Illustrious but also represents unity among nations as they work together towards a common goal. It symbolizes strength, resilience, and unwavering determination within our armed forces.
