EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Westland Whirlwind HARMk10 XJ429 of the "C" Flight from No. 22 Squadron, based at RAF Valley in Anglesey, Wales, is seen lowering a winchman aboard Range Safety Launch 1657 of 1113 Marine Craft Unit, stationed at RAF Holyhead. The Whirlwind, a versatile and agile helicopter, was primarily used for maritime patrol, anti-submarine warfare, and search and rescue missions during its service with the Royal Air Force (RAF). The image captures a moment of seamless coordination between the two units as they work together to ensure the safety and security of training exercises in the area. The Whirlwind's powerful rotors, with their distinctive three-bladed configuration, are poised to lift off once the winchman is securely aboard the launch. The marine craft, with its distinctive orange and white livery, is positioned perfectly beneath the helicopter, ready to receive the winchman and provide support during the operation. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the intricate and essential teamwork that underpins the RAF's maritime capabilities. Both the Whirlwind and the marine craft play crucial roles in ensuring the safety and success of various missions, and this image encapsulates the synergy between the two units. The scene is a testament to the professionalism and expertise of the RAF personnel involved, and the importance of effective communication and collaboration in executing complex operations.
