EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a thrilling moment at RAF Spadeadam in Cumbria, where Army Gazelle helicopters are seen carrying trainee Forward Air Controllers (FACs). This joint exercise is conducted by the Joint Forward Air Control Training and Standards Unit (JFACTSU) based at RAF Leeming. The four-week course aims to equip individuals with the skills to direct combat aircraft engaged in close air support of land forces. In this image, the gazelles soar through the sky, showcasing their agility and power. These helicopters play a crucial role in training future FACs who will be responsible for guiding fast ground attack aircraft onto targets from forward positions on battlefields. The intensity of this task cannot be understated as it requires precise communication and coordination between ground troops and pilots. What makes this particular training program unique is that students come from all three Services, representing various cap badges and NATO countries. This diversity adds an extra layer of complexity to the exercises but also fosters invaluable collaboration among international allies. Graeme Main's photograph not only highlights the impressive display of military aviation but also symbolizes the dedication and teamwork required for successful air-ground operations. It serves as a reminder of the importance of continuous training to ensure effective support for troops on the front lines.
