Hi Gang;

Just back from doing the operation.
All involved worked incredibly hard to deliver loads of aid to the people of the Philippines.
We were all bowled over by both their resilience and gratitude.
Proud to have been part of it...

A few late photos of loading on C17 at RAF Brize Norton
 
First of all, Hello, My 1st time on here, ive just seen this thread, and thought you might like to see our UK RAF chaps and ladies at work, from about 2.00 pm till maybe 6.00 pm getting it loaded before its 24 hour flight.

C-17 cargo plane was transporting medical supplies and heavy duty vehicles, including two JCB diggers, a forklift truck, and two Land Rovers emblazoned with stickers reading: "UK aid from the British people". So the vehicles can help to reopen transport links and allow aid workers to reach isolated areas.

Thanks to all there that night. 99 Sqn. Wing Com. Stu Lindsell and ALL sqn staff. (and not forgetting Lewis).

Good photos Greg. Well done those people. Quite humbling really that a small country like ours still gives a stuff about other less fortunate people on the other side of the world.
