EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Royal Air Force Chinook helicopter in action, carrying an Army Land Rover as part of Exercise Wessex Thunder. The exercise took place on Salisbury Plain and involved 2nd Battalion The Parachute Regiment (2 PARA) working alongside the Omani Western Frontier Regiment from the Royal Omani Army. During the two-week long exercise, 2 PARA launched an initial assault, with Omani troops arriving by two Chinooks to reinforce their efforts and successfully capture a village. In addition to troop transport, the versatile Chinooks also undertook vehicle transportation across the plain as underslung loads. Royal Air Force Odiham, located in North Hampshire, serves as home base for three Support Helicopter squadrons and one Army Air Corps Lynx squadron. These units are responsible for providing direct support to NATO and UK interests worldwide while supporting the army's operations. The dedicated personnel at RAF Odiham consist of approximately 2,000 individuals, including both military personnel and civilians. The station is supported by Forward Support Wing for aircraft maintenance and logistics support, Base Support Wing managing infrastructure and welfare tasks, and Ops Wing coordinating operational output. Sgt Ross Tilly captured this remarkable moment during Exercise Wessex Thunder—an impressive display of joint military cooperation between British forces and their Omani counterparts.
