EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the essence of the RAF Chinook helicopter in silhouette, soaring through the Afghan skies. Symbolic of their unwavering commitment to operations in Afghanistan for over a decade, the Chinook Force has become an integral part of military efforts in this war-torn region. With an impressive record of 41,000 flight hours and successfully extracting 13,000 casualties, these brave crews have left an indelible mark on history. Their remarkable bravery has not gone unnoticed either; they have been honored with numerous gallantry awards, including twenty-three distinguished flying crosses. In this particular moment frozen in time by Cpl Lee Goddard's lens, we witness a Chinook firing flares into the night sky. These flares serve as both protection and defiance against unseen threats lurking below. The image encapsulates the resilience and determination exhibited by our armed forces throughout their campaign in Helmand province. The RAF Chinook is more than just a transport aircraft; it represents hope amidst chaos and salvation when all seems lost. Its presence signifies that help is on its way for those who need it most – soldiers wounded on the battlefield or civilians caught up in conflict. As we reflect upon this photograph, let us remember and honor all those who have served tirelessly under Operation Herrick. Their dedication to duty exemplifies what it means to be a member of our esteemed Royal Air Force - selfless service above all else.
