The view from the "office" when flying from Op Clockwork. Although the views from the #cockpit for our #pilots are beautiful, when the weather changes, the mountain ranges of #Norway make for some of the most challenging flying that a #helicopter pilot can ever encounter!

847 NAS deploys across the world, training, and fighting in the harshest environments so that when the time comes to support our Commando Forces, we are ready.

847 NAS have provided vehicle interdiction training for #Commando Forces. This time, the view is from the target vehicle's perspective! With one #Wildcat #helicopter carrying an airborne Sniper and the other an M3M MG, it makes our combination a force to be reckoned with!

Refuelling to extend range, enabling 847 NAS crews to control fires and insert Cdo Forces deeper into enemy territory. 847 Wildcats take a fuel from the USMC’s new CH-53K. Bilateral integration on WTI 1-25 headmarks the UK CF and USMC commitment and long-standing relationship.

847 NAS has been supporting @RoyalMarines Young Officers on exercise last week, providing Close Air Support and small-team personnel movement. The Wildcat's size, crew-served weapons, and it's manoeuvrability allows us to deliver results for our Cdo Forces!

Red conditions this morning at Yeovilton before 847 Wildcats lifted to support Commando Forces conducting essential Close Air Support training serials for their JTACs 💪

@RFAArgus and our #MerlinMk4 crossed the equator in July en route to #Australia for #EXPR24. As is tradition, respects were paid to King Neptune as LRG(S) continued #DownUnder.

Our #LRGRewind continues ⚓️
Operating on @RFAArgus gave our engineers, aircrew and deck handlers a great chance to hone their maritime skills as the ship sailed southwards towards the Mediterranean and beyond.

One Year, 10 countries and over 25,000 miles later, LRG(S) is home. 🌊
This week we’ll be looking at some of the highlights of the 3 #MerlinMk4 helicopters that traveled half way across the world aboard @RFAArgus.

This is the first TSW stick to jump out the door in recent history.

Where would we be without our #Engineers?
Our Aircraft Engineers keep our #MerlinMk4 ready to fly, all around the world. From ships at sea to tents in the field, these talented technicians maintain the highest standards, whatever the weather.
