Royal Navy Seaking Mk4 Helicopter Over Northern Norway
Royal Navy Seaking Mk4 helicopter from 845 Naval Air Squadron conducting Arctic flying training over the snow covered mountains of northern Norway.
Situated some 200 miles inside the Arctic Circle at the Joint Helicopter Command (JHC) training facility near Bardufoss, Northern Norway, the JHC base known as Clockwork provides survival and operational training and support facilities to enable aviation capable units arms to survive, operate and fight in extreme cold weather environments.
JHC Clockwork has provided Commando Helicopter Force (CHF) with an Arctic base for over 40 years the training provided by the facility is as relevant today as it has always been. It enables CHF to prepare for future operations and is fundamental to the delivery of littoral manoeuvre for the Royal Navy given the geography and excellent facilities that exist in the local area.
150 Naval personnel from Commando Helicopter Force normally based at the Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton in Somerset will take part in their annual winter training exercise in Northern Norway. Aircrews, engineers and support staff from 845 Naval Air Squadron flying Royal Navy Sea King Mk4 helicopters will conduct essential Environmental Training (ET) and Pre-Deployment Training (PDT) in preparation for future deployments.
At the same time around 50 Naval personnel attached to 28 Squadron Royal Air Force from RAF Benson will also conduct Arctic flying training with the Augusta Westland Merlin Mk 3 helicopter

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the awe-inspiring sight of a Royal Navy Seaking Mk4 helicopter soaring over the snow-covered mountains of northern Norway. This powerful aircraft, belonging to 845 Naval Air Squadron, is engaged in Arctic flying training at the Joint Helicopter Command (JHC) base known as Clockwork. Located deep within the Arctic Circle near Bardufoss, Clockwork serves as a vital training facility for aviation capable units. It provides survival and operational training, ensuring that personnel are equipped to survive, operate, and fight in extreme cold weather environments. For over four decades, Commando Helicopter Force (CHF) has relied on JHC Clockwork as their Arctic base. The annual winter training exercise sees around 150 naval personnel from CHF participating in essential Environmental Training (ET) and Pre-Deployment Training (PDT). These exercises prepare them for future deployments and enable them to deliver effective littoral manoeuvre operations for the Royal Navy. In addition to CHF's involvement, approximately 50 naval personnel attached to 28 Squadron Royal Air Force from RAF Benson also partake in Arctic flying training with their Augusta Westland Merlin Mk3 helicopters. This comprehensive training ensures that both aircrews and support staff are well-prepared for any challenges they may face during future operations. The stunning image captured by POA (Phot) Mez Merrill showcases not only the beauty of Northern Norway but also highlights the dedication and professionalism of these brave men and women who train tirelessly to protect our nation's interests even in harsh conditions.
