Yesterday, our contracted civilian nurse Cathy was lucky to take advantage of a last‑minute spare seat on a routine training serial. After a full briefing, she experienced firsthand the aircraft and crews she supports every day from the ground.

We have been working with the Joint Helicopter Support Squadron this week to carry bags of chalk to the Bulford Kiwi. Our squadron maintains close links with the @NZDefenceForce through aircrew exchanges, and RNZAF exchange personnel have previously carried out this task.

The Chinook Force is in the High North.
Personnel and aircraft have deployed to Bardufoss, Norway, for Op Clockwork, training more than 200nm inside the Arctic Circle alongside the Royal Norwegian Air Force.
Extreme cold. Demanding flying.
