RN Flies crucial sorties in Honduras to support the United States military in ongoing disaster relief efforts.

In November 2020 the Royal Navy deployed RFA Argus to the north east coast of the Central American nation to support the United States military in the ongoing disaster relief efforts.

The support ship was used as a ‘lily pad’ by US Army Chinooks to drop aid supplies ashore, while the embarked air group of three Merlin helicopters and a Wildcat were flying crucial information-gathering sorties over ravaged areas.

Pilots and aircrew from 845 and 815 Naval Air Squadrons conducted reconnaissance flights, using their helicopters’ powerful sensors and specialist equipment to collect information about the disaster.
