A Royal Air Force CH-47 Chinook holds steady high in the hover with a GS Flatrack secured to the aft hook via a long strop.
Simple hook-ups like this may look routine, but they remain absolutely foundational to underslung load operations. Working across different load types, rigging configurations and equipment broadens the experience of the ground teams, keeping both aircrew and JHSS personnel proficient across the full spectrum of USL tasking.
Every serial on the load park builds the knowledge, confidence and precision needed for more complex lifts down the line.🚁🪝

Pathfinders and Airborne medics have jumped into Tristan da Cunha, the remotest inhabited island in the world, to treat a Briton with Hantavirus with just 56 hours notice.
The British territory has no airstrip. The closest Royal Navy ship was days away and oxygen supplies were critically low.

Members of @16airassaultbrigade including @airbornemedics@13aasr.rlc@47airdespatchsqn@british_pathfinders & @royalairforceuk conducted multiple parachute drops to deliver critical medical support to Tristan da Cunha after it was confirmed that one British national on the island was suspected of contracting Hantavirus.
The team of six @british_pathfinders and two military clinicians, all from 16 Air Assault Brigade, parachuted from an RAF A400M transport aircraft. Meanwhile, vital oxygen supplies and other medical aid were air dropped almost simultaneously onto the remote island.
This operation is the first time the UK military has inserted medical personnel to provide humanitarian support via a parachute jump, demonstrating how the military can deploy at very short notice across the world on a range of tasks.
