Last Monday saw the final flight of a RN Merlin Mk3a prior to conversion to a Mk4, so I thought it was an appropriate time to post some pics from Clockwork, the CHF Annual Arctic Training , at Bardufoss Norway....
845NAS and 847NAS were present during my week long visit....An experience of a lifetime and the most extreme conditions I've ever attempted to shoot and function in...daytime temps were as low as -15 and night down to -27
Luckily we got one day of decent weather which also resulted in a good show from the Northern Lights...apart from that it was constantly snowing Anyway, hope they are of interest.....

Simply superb
A set showing something not often visible.
The downwash blizzard whiteout silhouette is a corker for me.
