Exif MM * l . ( 1 $ 2 ; 悘 i Picture shows a RAF Puma helicopter of 33 Squadron on the beach of Cane Garden Bay to deliver essential aid to local residents.
Ranks from 40 Commando Royal Marines have been facilitating the delivery of crucial aid to areas of the British Virgin Islands difficult to reach by road.
From loading these vital supplies at the port in the capital, Road Town, the Royal Marines transported them by road to the helicopter landing site at the cities hospital, Peebles, making sure the area was secure.
This allowed airmen from 33 Sqn, RAF Benson, to land multiple Puma helicopters for the Royal Marines to load the stores.
The Pumas conducted 3 drops of the aid, assisting communities in the West End, East End and those from Cane Garden Bay. At Cane Garden Bay the helicopter landed on the beach and was met by elated locals in need of the supplies.
Leading Photographer Joel Rouse, 30 Commando Combat Camera Team, was there to capture the moment and said, "Although I was there as a photographer, the opportunity to step aside from this role and help give out these supplies was humbling. I can see how much of a difference our guys are making and it's nice to be part of that".
