ROYAL AIR FORCE CHINOOKS CONDUCT SUPPORT OPERATIONS IN WEST AFRICA
Pictured. 1AMW, 99Sqn, TSW, Op NEWCOMBE CH47 Engineers are CH47 unload for cab rotation. Oshkosh onload, asset rotated on 6 August 2020 for Operation Newcombe in Mali.
CH47 asset rotation. Oshkosh redeployment following a reduction from full night stop to a day tasking. Excellent effort from all parties, TSW, 1AMW, 99Sqn ALM, Op NEWCOMBE DLG, Op NEWCOMBE CH47 Engineers. TSW were able to, at very short notice provide, the C17 with an uplift of fuel from the online Oshkosh, whilst simultaneously on-loading the returning Oshkosh. Fantastic flexibility enabled the return of a high profile asset, against a challenging timeframe. This task highlights the “can do” attitude found within the Logistics Branch and Trades.
Personnel from RAF Odiham have been deployed in non-combat roles in Mali since 2018 with the aircraft contributing a unique logistical capability to the French-led operation.
The Chinooks and aircrew allow French troops to cover a much larger field of operations by moving personnel to the front-line of activity, eliminating the need for dangerous road moves, and help move vital support equipment to strategic locations.© MOD / Crown Copyright / eyevine

2020 ROYAL AIR FORCE PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPETITION RESULTS
RAF 2020 photo competition. Golden Cavell - A Royal Air Force C-17 Globemaster II is pictured having arrived at RAF Northolt from Sierra Leone on Sunday 24th November 2019. The aircraft had been used in the MEDEVAC role for Op CAVELL. Patient transfers were then handled by both road and onward air travel. The Foreign Secretary requested a MOD led MEDEVAC for 2 UK nationals and 5 Dutch nationals from Sierra Leone deemed to be at high risk of having contracted lassa fever, along with a 3rd UK national deemed to be low risk.
Defence Secretary approved the request, and Op CAVELL was initiated. Once the Dutch nationals had arrived at RAF Northolt, they were when moved by an air ambulance helicopter back to the Netherlands.
This image was one of 900 images submitted to this year’s RAF Photographic Competition and although not placed by the judges, it highlights the exceptionally high standard of work carried by RAF Photographers over the past year.

Royal Air Force C-17 from RAF Brize Norton delivers a very large consignment of Libyan bank notes to the authorities in Benghazi, Libya - 31 Aug 2011
Newly-minted Libyan dinar notes worth GBP 140million worth have been transported from Britain to Benghazi. The huge haul, which was transported by air from RAF Brize Norton, was packed into 2m (6ft 6in) piles for the journey. Once they reached their destination the 280 million Libyan dinars - still bearing the face of ousted leader Muammar Gaddafi - were handed to leaders of the National Transitional Council. The money forms part of a 1.8 billion dinars (GBP 950million) sum that was originally ordered by Gaddafi in March but was blocked by the UN. The sum was recently unfrozen following a meeting of the United Nations sanctions committee in New York. The money will be used to pay public sector workers, including nurses, doctors, teachers and police officers, who have not been paid for months as well as fill up empty cash machines.
