EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful photo print, we witness the arrival of an RAF C17 Globemaster aircraft in Sierra Leone on a crucial humanitarian mission. The image captures the unwavering dedication of British Armed Forces personnel as they respond to the Ebola crisis under Operation Gritrock. The Vanguard enabling group, seen disembarking from the aircraft, is deployed with a clear purpose - to provide vital assistance in combating this deadly disease. With its long-range strategic heavy-lift transport capabilities, the C-17 empowers the RAF to project and sustain an effective force close to potential areas of operations for combat, peacekeeping, or humanitarian missions worldwide. This photograph serves as a reminder of both hope and resilience amidst adversity. It symbolizes not only our commitment to global health but also our unwavering support for those affected by infectious diseases like Ebola. As these brave men and women step foot onto Sierra Leonean soil, their presence signifies relief and aid reaching those who need it most. Through their selfless efforts, they embody the very essence of what it means to be part of the Royal Air Force - serving humanity beyond borders. This poignant moment captured by Staff Sergeant Tom Robinson RLC encapsulates their determination and courage as they confront one of mankind's greatest challenges head-on.
