Image of humanitarian aid, seen here being airdropped over Gaza from a RAF A400M aircraft today (25/03/2024). The Royal Air Force airdropped over 10 tonnes of food supplies into Gaza for the first time on Monday, as part of international efforts to provide life-saving assistance to civilians. The aid, which consists of water, rice, cooking oil, flour, tinned goods and baby formula, will support the people of Gaza. The Defence Secretary authorised the airdrop following an assessed reduction in threat to the military mission and risk to civilians. An RAF A400M flew from Amman, Jordan to airdrop this aid along the northern coastline of Gaza, as part of the Jordanian-led international aid mission. UK personnel worked closely with the Royal Jordanian Air Force to plan and conduct this mission.

Jackal 2 Reconnaissance vehicles and their crew from the 1st Battalion, The Royal Irish Regiment, drove off the Royal Air Force (RAF) ATLAS C.1 (A400M) aircraft after a Rapid Air Landing (RAL) at RAF Shawbury on Exercise Pegasus Clover on the 12th of December 2023. 1st Battalion The Royal Irish Regiment (1 R IRISH) worked with an RAF ATLAS C.1 aircraft at RAF Shawbury to develop their airlanding skills. Troops loaded and secured Land rovers on the aircraft, and then took flight to practise getting off the aircraft and into the fight as fast as possible. The skills learnt on Exercise Pegasus Clover are vital for the unit in its role in 16 Air Assault Brigade, the British Army’s global response force. The brigade is trained and equipped to be ready to deploy by air at short notice to respond to international crises, from evacuations to warfighting. 1 R IRISH, based at Clive Barracks in Tern Hill, serves in 16 Air Asslt Bde as light recce strike infantry, a new concept that the unit is currently developing. The intent is to provide a highly mobile force that can seek out battle winning information, while having the firepower to hit the enemy hard. It has the flexibility to deploy onto operations by airlanding or driving, as well as conducting helicopter operations.
