Chinooks Approaching the Al Faw Peninsula, Iraq by David Rowlands. - Cranston Military Prints

Chinooks Approaching the Al Faw Peninsula, Iraq by David Rowlands.


Chinooks Approaching the Al Faw Peninsula, Iraq by David Rowlands.

Chinook helicopters based at RAF Odiham approach the landing site on the Al Faw peninsula, Iraq on the night of 20th March 2003 to insert Royal Marines to secure the oil terminal. Operation HOUGHTON, as it was known, was part of the early stages of Operation TELIC, the campaign to rid the country of Saddam Hussein. The strength of the enemy ground forces was unknown. The formation of 5 aircraft inserted 200 Royal Marines in 3 waves in 2 minutes and was led by Squadron Leader Steve Carr flying Bravo November, the same aircraft that was so successful during the Falklands War in 1982. For leading the assault Squadron Leader Carr was awarded with the Distinguished Flying Cross.

The Winged Dagger by Simon Smith. 		The Iraq campaign of 2003 saw the largest deployment of British armed forces since the Gulf War of 1990 and the biggest allied amphibious operation since Suez in 1956. The challenge was daunting, but the men and women of the Royal Navy and their Marines and Fleet Air Arm, supported by the Royal Fleet Auxiliary, rose to it magnificently. This book sets out the key stages of the war as it was experienced by the Navy and the Marines. For its preparation, the Navy has given unique access to the archive of remarkable pictures taken by its own photographers during the campaign. The Navy has also given the author special access to the servicemen and servicewomen who took part. In these pages, they tell the story of their campaign in their own words. They tell it with the modesty and humour for which the British armed forces are renowned.
Iraq Campaign 2003. Royal Navy and Royal Marines by Robert Fox.		45 Commando Royal Marines performed the role of the Belfast Roulement Battalion from 2nd July to 10th November 1986. This painting depicts a foot patrol setting out from Springfield Road RUC Station. The RUC Station at Springfield Road was 45 Commando's Tactical HQ. With its fortress-like protective fencing it stood cheek-by-jowl among little terraced houses. Marines escorted the constables of the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) on their beat, both on foot and in Land Rovers. A sign warned: Do Not Stand Around In This Yard. Holes made by bullets and shrapnel from bombs tossed over the fence explained the reason why. In the painting I have tried to make the gate a symbolic focal point, as the men's thoughts are focussed upon what lies outside for this patrol.
