EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a Lynx Mk9A Helicopter in action at Naval Air Facility El Centro, USA. The helicopter belongs to the esteemed 847 Naval Air Squadron, which is typically based at the Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton in Somerset. During their Pre Deployment Training (PDT) and Mission Specific Training, these skilled pilots took advantage of the facilities at Naval Air Facility El Centro, California. The Lynx Mk9As featured in this image are an upgrade from their predecessors, boasting increased firepower and more powerful engines. These enhancements enable them to operate effectively throughout the year in Afghanistan's harsh hot and high-altitude environment. In this photograph, we witness the helicopter conducting dust landings with precision and finesse. It showcases not only the prowess of both man and machine but also highlights the rigorous training undertaken by members of 847 Naval Air Squadron. PO (Phot) Mez Merrill has expertly captured this momentous occasion for us all to admire. The dedication and professionalism displayed by these naval aviators serve as a testament to their commitment to excellence within the Royal Navy's Commando Helicopter Force (CHF). This joint effort between CHF USA and JHF USA further strengthens international partnerships while honing vital skills necessary for military operations worldwide
