Well done to the lads at B Sqn, 5 Avn Regt. That task whilst supporting the 2RAR soldiers in the infancy turned out to be a very rewading task for all concerned.
Winching operations in both the battlefield role and civil aid to the community tasks such as this one are integral to both pilot and aircrewman training courses. To state thats its not one of Armys primary roles is somewhat incorrect.
As an ex B sqn Aircrew member, having participated in many similar tasks such these Im chuffed to see them continuing to perform such tasks. It comes at a time where probably the image of Blackhawk operations has been given an ear bashing by all and sundrey. Well done lads...
