Chinook in North African Exercise

A Royal Air Force groundcrew member attaches a slung load to the underneath of a Chinook helicopter in the North African desert in preparation for deployment to Afghanistan. Meanwhile out of shot, another serviceman reaches forward with an earthing hook designed to release the buildup of any electrical charge from the coupling to the ground.
Working alongside Army Air Corps Lynx helicopters and an array of ground support personnel, the Chinook pilots and aircrew practiced dust landings and underslung load carrying among other vital tasks in an exercise called Jebel Sahara.
