Picture shows a Royal Marine LCAC(LR) hovercraft with Royal Marine Off Shore Landing Craft in the background during Carlyon Bay Wader Exercise in Cornwall.
As part of a wader package, 3 Commando Brigade along with 4 Assault Squadron Royal Marines (4 ASRM), 29 and 24 Commando today conducted exercises using landing craft, hover craft and a Royal Air Force Chinook helicopter currently based on HMS Illustrious.

The LCAC (L) (R) is a direct replacement for the LCAC (L) currently in service with 539 Assault Squadron Royal Marines. The craft is required to operate in a hostile marine environment in extreme temperatures. It may be deployed for several months with very limited maintenance support facilities. The primary role of the LCAC (L) (R) is as an air-portable, fully amphibious craft capable of the high speed movement of 16 fully equipped troops and a crew of 2 over water, ice, mud, marshland and beach

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a Royal Marine LCAC (LR) hovercraft in action, with the impressive sight of Royal Marine Off Shore Landing Craft in the background during the Carlyon Bay Wader Exercise in Cornwall. The exercise involved 3 Commando Brigade, along with 4 Assault Squadron Royal Marines (4 ASRM), and 29 and 24 Commando units, who showcased their skills using landing craft, hovercraft, and even a Royal Air Force Chinook helicopter stationed on HMS Illustrious. Taking place in Carlyon Bay near St. Austell, Cornwall, this training session attracted the attention of civilian onlookers who were undoubtedly amazed by the display of military prowess. The LCAC (L) (R) featured here is an advanced replacement for its predecessor currently utilized by 539 Assault Squadron Royal Marines. Designed to operate under hostile marine conditions and extreme temperatures without regular maintenance support facilities for extended periods of time. The primary function of this remarkable craft is to transport up to sixteen fully equipped troops at high speeds across various terrains including water bodies, ice formations, mud patches, marshlands, and beaches. This versatile amphibious vehicle plays a crucial role within the armed forces' operations. Thanks to LA (PHOT) Joel Rouse's skillful photography work from Armed Forces media team; we can now appreciate this extraordinary moment showcasing both power and precision that our brave servicemen possess while carrying out their duties.
