It’s getting colder as the aircraft head further North ❄️ Thankfully, the #MerlinMk4 is fit with a full complement of Anti-Ice systems, making it ideal for Arctic operations in sub-zero temperatures. #FlyNavy #ArcticCircle #CLOCKWORK24 📸 - PO Stapleton, PO Tobin

Operating out in Norway is the best thing we do, if you can operate here, you can operate anywhere. The recirculating snow in these videos is light; after a heavy snow fall, and doing so by night on NVGs as a formation of multiple types is when this training really counts! ❄️🚁🌨️

As they start their journey, I come to the end of mine with 845 Naval Air Squadron. It’s been a blast. The people that keep these mighty machines operating are the very finest you could hope to serve with. I wish them the very best for all that the Squadron does in the future. Audio Hostem!
