Chinook Landing
A Chinook HC3 helcopter from RAF Odiham lands at RAF Shawbury for a re fuel on route to its home station.
The Chinook is an able and versatile support helicopter that can be armed with crew served weapons to provide self-defence, and can be operated from land or ship in such diverse environments as the Arctic, jungle and desert.
Chinook aircraft are used for trooping, resupply, and battlefield Casualty Evacuation (CASEVAC), and for carrying internal and/or underslung loads. They can carry up to 55 troops (more, usually 24 to 40) and/or up to 10 tonnes of freight. A secondary role includes Search and Rescue (SAR)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring sight of a Chinook HC3 helicopter from RAF Odiham as it gracefully lands at RAF Shawbury for a refuel on its way back to its home station. The Chinook, known for its remarkable versatility and capability, serves as an invaluable support helicopter that can be armed with crew served weapons to ensure self-defense in various environments such as the Arctic, jungle, and desert. Renowned for their trooping abilities, resupply missions, and battlefield Casualty Evacuation (CASEVAC), these mighty aircraft are also adept at carrying internal or underslung loads. With a capacity to transport up to 55 troops (typically ranging from 24 to 40) or haul up to 10 tonnes of freight, they play a crucial role in military operations. Additionally, the Chinooks fulfill another vital function - Search and Rescue (SAR). Their ability to navigate treacherous terrains makes them indispensable when it comes to saving lives in emergency situations. Ian Forshaw's exceptional photographic skills have beautifully captured this momentous landing. The image showcases not only the power of these magnificent machines but also pays tribute to the dedication and skill of our brave servicemen and women who operate them. As we admire this stunning photograph print from Armed Forces' RAF Photographic Competition 2016 by Ian Forshaw, let us reflect upon the unwavering commitment of our Royal Air Force personnel who work tirelessly day in and day out to protect our nation both at
