Well Played II(AC) Squadron
 
Released today ...

Using the advanced Lightning III surveillance pod, on 10 March the aircraft helped ISAF troops capture and destroy a lethal quantity of explosives that could have taken the lives of civilians or security forces.

Excellent quote ...

Sergeant Louis Awua, the unit’s forward air controller, said: “When the Brits do shows of presence they almost scrape the ground. They fly so low you don’t know what it means. What I like is the quality of the pilots and the quality of the sensors. They report everything that they see.”
Well said Sergeant Awua :D
