These photos were taken in Sierra Leone in early 2004. The
RSLAF air wing currently operates 1 x Hind, 1 x Allouette and 1 x Westland
Commando fitted out in the VIP role. The
Hind is in Deep repair at the moment but was used with great success during the
war; the Allouette is used for liaison, evac, and troop insertion.
The Commando is outfitted as the Presidents personal aircraft; it was a
gift from the Qatar government and is the plushest Sea-King that I have ever
seen! A Puma is due to be delivered
soon to give extra lift capacity here. With
the state of the road network and the size of the country it will be a needed
bit of kit.
