UK In Action: Chinook in Afghanistan


An engineer from Number 18/27 (Engineering) Squadron, Royal Air Force Odiham, keeps watch during a Chinook engine start-up whilst on pre-deployment training in the Middle East. The Chinook is a highly capable and versatile aircraft that can cope well in many diverse environments, including the harsh conditions in Afghanistan where it is the aircraft of choice for heavy lift and is fulfilling a pivotal role in supporting the front line coalition forces and the Afghan National Security Forces. This image was a winner for SAC Andy Masson in the 2010 RAF Photographic Competition.
