EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Cpl Rob Knight, an RAF Chinook helicopter is seen skillfully maneuvering its way towards the Helicopter Landing Site (HLS) at Lashkar Gar in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. The image was taken during the Secretary of State for Defence, Des Browne's tour of British Installations in southern Afghanistan back in 2006. As the powerful Chinook approaches the HLS, it faces numerous challenges posed by the treacherous terrain and unpredictable weather conditions. The pilot must navigate through swirling dust and sand kicked up by the down draft created by the rotor blades. This creates a visually stunning scene as sunlight filters through the haze, casting an ethereal glow on both aircraft and landscape. The significance of this moment lies not only in showcasing military prowess but also highlighting the vital role played by helicopters like these in supporting operations on foreign soil. These versatile machines are lifelines for troops stationed far from home, providing essential transportation capabilities and logistical support. Cpl Rob Knight's photograph encapsulates both the danger and resilience that characterizes life on deployment. It serves as a poignant reminder of our armed forces' dedication to duty while operating under challenging circumstances thousands of miles away from their loved ones.
