HMS Dragons Lynx Helicopter Firing Flares
HMS Dragons Lynx helicopter fires infra red flares during an exercise over the Type 45 destroyer.
As well as flying her own Lynx helicopter - of 815 Naval Air Squadron based in Yeovilton - Dragon has been flexing muscle as part of joint training with Typhoons from her affiliated 6 Squadron RAF.
Holding various flying exercises with 11 Squadron, based at RAF Conningsby, and Boeing E3-Ds from 8 Squadron based at RAF Waddington, Dragon also exchanged personnel for the RAF to experience life on a ship and vice versa

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the intense and awe-inspiring moment when the HMS Dragons Lynx helicopter fires infra red flares during a high-stakes exercise over the Type 45 destroyer. The powerful image showcases the cutting-edge capabilities of both aircraft and ship, as they work together seamlessly to ensure maximum security and defense. In addition to its own Lynx helicopter from 815 Naval Air Squadron, based in Yeovilton, HMS Dragon has been engaged in joint training with Typhoons from its affiliated 6 Squadron RAF. This collaboration highlights the importance of inter-service cooperation and strengthens their collective ability to respond swiftly and effectively to any threat. Not only did Dragon conduct various flying exercises with 11 Squadron at RAF Conningsby and Boeing E3-Ds from 8 Squadron at RAF Waddington, but it also facilitated an exchange program where personnel from both services could experience life on board a ship or an airbase. This unique opportunity fosters mutual understanding between naval and air forces while enhancing their operational readiness. The atmospheric silhouette created by the Lynx helicopter firing flares against a backdrop of open sea adds drama to this remarkable photograph. It serves as a reminder of the dedication, skill, and bravery exhibited by those who serve in our armed forces - always ready to defend our nation's interests at home or abroad.
