EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a breathtaking moment as Submariners from the Fort Blockhouse Submarine Escape Training Tank (SETT) bravely dive from the sky. Parachuting 800 feet from a Hercules C130 into the sea at Lee-on-Solent, Hampshire, these courageous individuals demonstrate their unwavering commitment to their training and readiness for any situation. As part of Exercise Leesplash, two Medium Inflatable Boats and their 19 crew members also joined in this daring endeavor. The iconic silhouette of the Hercules C130 against the backdrop of clouds adds an atmospheric touch to this awe-inspiring scene. On the 8th of May, during lunchtime, crowds gathered on Lee-on-Solent beach to witness this remarkable display. Spectators were captivated by both the bravery of these submariners and the impressive capabilities of RAF Lyneham's Hercules C130 aircraft. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the dedication and skill possessed by our armed forces personnel. It showcases not only their ability to operate in extreme conditions but also highlights their unity and teamwork. Photographed by LA (Phot) Shaun Preston, this stunning print encapsulates a moment that symbolizes courage, determination, and professionalism within our armed forces community.
