Photo Comment

Although wearing ARMY titles, this one is actually operated by 847 NAS (Royal Marines). Unusually, when 847 NAS is allocated Wildcat AH1s they do not get MARINES titles, but still wear ARMY on the side. On overseas deployments some have worn stickers to reveal the service operating them but not in this case at its home base of Yeovilton.
