Wildcat Helicopter Onboard HMS Iron Duke for Trials
The Royal Navys next-generation helicopter Wildcat, is pictured onboard HMS Iron Duke during three days of trials at sea.
A Wildcat touched down onto the flight deck of HMS Iron Duke at the Naval Base as part of intensive tests before the fast and potent helicopter is declared operational.
In just three years time the Wildcat will be the backbone of the Royal Navys frigate and destroyer operations around the globe, replacing the trusted Lynx which has served the Fleet Air Arm loyally since the mid-70s.
Next month the aircraft will begin trials at sea but not before necessary fundamental checks are carried out on board HMS Iron Duke.
As well as landing on the frigate, a 31-strong test team need to ensure Wildcat can be moved in and out of the hangar using the ships helicopter recovery system. On-board refuelling and ammunition checks were also carried out

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Royal Navy's next-generation helicopter, the Wildcat, takes center stage in this photo print. Captured onboard HMS Iron Duke during three days of trials at sea, the image showcases the impressive capabilities of this fast and potent aircraft. As part of intensive tests before being declared operational, a Wildcat gracefully touches down onto the flight deck of the Naval Base. With just three years until it becomes the backbone of frigate and destroyer operations worldwide, replacing its trusted predecessor Lynx which has faithfully served since the mid-70s, anticipation for the Wildcat's performance is high. Next month, it will embark on further trials at sea after undergoing necessary fundamental checks aboard HMS Iron Duke. To ensure seamless integration with ship operations, a 31-strong test team meticulously examines every aspect. From testing its ability to be moved in and out of hangars using the ship's helicopter recovery system to conducting on-board refueling and ammunition checks - no detail is overlooked. This print captures not only a momentous step forward for naval aviation but also highlights the dedication and precision required to introduce new equipment into service seamlessly. The Wildcat stands as a testament to technological advancements within The Royal Navy while honoring its rich history as it prepares to take flight across oceans around the globe.
