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!

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!

The Carrier Strike Group worked hand in hand with the RAF to operate Chinooks on @HMSPWLS to deliver personnel. Thanks @18Squadron for coming! 🚁
