"Bravo November," has a distinguished history within No. 18 Squadron of the Royal Air Force. The Chinook played a critical role during "Operation Corporate," the British military campaign to retake the Falkland Islands in 1982. During the conflict, "Bravo November" survived against incredible odds and proved to be an invaluable asset for the British forces.
"Bravo November" was involved in numerous critical missions, including the transportation of troops, supplies, and equipment across the challenging terrain of the Falkland Islands. The helicopter was instrumental in the success of various operations, such as the insertion of Special Forces and the evacuation of casualties. Its ability to carry heavy loads and operate in adverse weather conditions made it an indispensable tool for the British forces. Its pilots and crew demonstrated extraordinary skill and bravery, often flying in treacherous conditions and under the threat of enemy fire.
It has continued to serve with distinction long after the Falklands conflict, participating in multiple other operations, including those in Afghanistan and Iraq. Over the years, it has become an iconic symbol of resilience and heroism within the Royal Air Force. The helicopter has been updated and maintained to remain operationally effective, and its legacy includes numerous accolades and recognition for the crew members who have flown it.
