Pictured is an RAF Flight Sergeant (from 27 Sqn, RAF Odiham), he operates as the rear crewman as the Chinook transits through the Hombori mountains in Mali at sunset.
The Royal Air Force Chinooks currently deployed in Mali in support of French Military Operations there have passed a significant milestone after recording 3000 hours of operational flight time.
The milestone was passed by 1310 Flight, the RAF detachment that operates the CH-47 Chinooks in Mali and is primarily committed to conducting flight operations in support of the French Operation Barkhane, a counter-terrorist operation across the Sahel region of West Africa.

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

Pictured is an RAF Chinook Mk6A lifting a French Army Panhard Véhicule Blindé Léger, also known by its acronym Panhard VBL or simply VBL, it is a French wheeled 4x4 all-terrain vehicle
A crew from C Flt, 18 Sqn, RAF Odiham, operating on Op NEWCOMBE as part of 1310 Flt. Working in conjunction with RAF and British Army personnel from Joint Helicopter Support Squadron, RAF Benson. Tasking in support of the French, Groupement Tactique Desert de l'Air (GTD-A).
It is currently rainy season in the Sahel, making ground movement difficult. The unique heavy lift capability of the Chinook allowed a replacement vehicle to be delivered over a long distance where ground movement is difficult.

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.
