Summary

[edit]
Description
English: An Army Air Corps Apache attack helicopter takes off from HMS Illustrious.

HMS Illustrious was joined by two Apache Attack Helicopters from 656 Squadron, Army Air Corps. They came out to the ship to carry out some deck landing practice. Their usual operating areas are over land, so it is a new experience for a lot of the aircrews to "get their feet wet" (fly over the sea). Landing on a moving deck at sea can also be extremely challenging to the crews so they need regular practise to hone their skills.

HMS Illustrious was currently undergoing training off the south coast of England under the direction of Flag Officer Sea Training.
