Photographer's remark
(12.9.2010, 00:39 CET)
One of two Agusta A-109E 'Power' aircraft based at RAF Shawbury.
They are used to give Algerian pilots basic rotary training.
Once they have completed the basic rotary training phase they move to RAF Valley to the SARTU (Search and Rescue Training Unit) where they are taught Search and Rescue (SAR) operations. This is conducted on the AgustaWestland AW-139.
The aim of this is to provide the Algerian Naval Forces with SAR trained pilots for their new Westland AW101 aircraft currently being produced at Yeovil.
At the time of writing, the A-109 aircraft are currently half way through their contract of three years with FB Heliservices who have leased the two helicopters.
