Merlin Mk3s prove their mettle in day-long Gibraltar transit
Pictured is a Commando Helicopter Force Merlin Mk3 helicopter and HMS Scimitar, a Scimitar Class Fast Patrol Boat from the Gibraltar Squadron training above and in British Gibraltar Territorial Waters.
Working from RAF Gibraltar, 2 Merlin Mk3 helicopters from 846 Naval Air Squadron based at Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton, Somerset were consolidating their contingency deployment capability during Exercise Barbary Commando 16.
Merlin Mk3 is a new aircraft type for the Commando Helicopter Force (CHF). It will advance capability for the primary customer, The Royal Marines.
846 Naval Air Squadron (NAS) are the first Royal Navy squadron to convert to Merlin Mk 3.
To take on the demanding Commando Role (from ship to shore operations) the current Merlin Mk3 fleet will undergo an upgrade package through an interim model. It will then move towards the advanced Merlin Mk4. This will further increase the capability of this proven battlefield helicopter

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, the Merlin Mk3 helicopters of the Commando Helicopter Force (CHF) are seen showcasing their prowess during a day-long transit in Gibraltar. The image captures a Commando Helicopter Force Merlin Mk3 helicopter alongside HMS Scimitar, a Scimitar Class Fast Patrol Boat from the Gibraltar Squadron, as they train above and in British Gibraltar Territorial Waters. The two Merlin Mk3 helicopters belong to 846 Naval Air Squadron based at Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton in Somerset. They were deployed to RAF Gibraltar for Exercise Barbary Commando 16, where they aimed to enhance their contingency deployment capability. The introduction of the Merlin Mk3 aircraft has significantly advanced the capabilities of the CHF, particularly benefiting its primary customer - The Royal Marines. As pioneers in adopting this new aircraft type within the Royal Navy, 846 Naval Air Squadron is leading the way towards converting to Merlin Mk4 in order to further augment their commando role. With its ability to seamlessly transition from ship-to-shore operations, this proven battlefield helicopter will undergo an upgrade package through an interim model before progressing towards becoming an advanced Merlin Mk4. This progression promises increased capability for future missions and reinforces its reputation as a reliable asset on any battlefield.
