The Winged Dagger by Simon Smith. 22 SAS Squadron in the Gulf, having been dropped by Chinook of the 7th Squadron RAF

By Day, By Night by Michael Rondot. A famous WWII pathfinder unit, No.7 Squadron flew Stirling bombers before converting to Lancasters to spearhead the RAF Bomber Command night offensive in 1942. Post-war, the squadron flew Lincolns, Valiants and Canberras before receiving Chinook helicopters in 1982. Since then it has been constantly at the forefront of support operations in the Falklands, Northern Ireland, Beirut, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Sierra Leone, and was deeply involved in the 1991 Gulf War, proudly continuing its pathfinder origins. This beautiful and powerful portrayal of No.7 Squadrons heavily armed and highly modified Chinooks in action provides a rare glimpse into the dark world of Special Forces helicopter operations. By Day, By Night portrays a pair of Chinooks taking off in typical desert conditions faced by the squadrons crews during recent Special Forces operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Flying often at night, far behind enemy lines and in extreme weather conditions, No.7 Squadrons crews are frequently called upon to test the limits of their aircrafts performance envelope. Little is known about these operations and much of their flying is shrouded in the secrecy surrounding Special Forces, but the numerous honours and awards for gallantry which are quietly gazetted from time to time give some clues about the dangerous nature of No.7 Squadron duties.

Chinook over the Sperrins by David Pentland. Boeing Chinook of No.7 Squadron (detachment) from RAF Aldergrove, flying on supply duty in the west of the province.

MERT Pick-Up by Graeme Lothian. The Medical Emergency Responce Team (MERT) picking up a casualty in Helmind Province, Afghanistan. The armour plated RAF Chinook, protected by two Army Air Corps Apache helicopters, has a full complement of medical trauma personel onboard, as well as a protection force of RAF Regiment soldiers.

Op Grapple by John Wynne Hopkins. 2 Mk7 Lynx of 664/661 sqn. AAc, providing Top Cover for an UN PROFOR Convoy in Bosnia Herzegovina.

Gun Lift at Mrkonjic Grad by David Rowlands. Personnel from the Joint Helicopter Support Unit controlling a 105mm Light Gun lift, with Boeing HC2 Chinook helicopters of the Royal Air Force, as part of the Implementation Force in the former Republic of Yugoslavia. This was during Operation RESOLUTE which commenced in December 1995.

Right Here, Right Now by Philip West. The Apache is the worlds premier Attack helicopter. Its early history was crowned during Operation Desert Storm setting a combat record second to none, dispelling any doubts about the Apaches supremacy. The Longbow offers even greater mission capability and provides a significant contribution to any battlefield arena, anywhere in the world.

Blue Eagles Over Middle Wallop by Graham Wragg. Purchased from the squadron, the last remaining 70 copies of this unsigned, unnumbered edition of 500 prints.

Whirlwind by Michael Rondot. In a typical scene that many will remember from the 1950s and 60s, a Royal Navy Westland Whirlwind flies a low patrol along the shoreline. The Whirlwind is depicted over Eccles on Sea, Norfolk. It is a typical peaceful summers day and the crew have time to sit and wave at the holidaymakers below.

Dust Off by Robert Tomlin. Somewhere in the desert, a chinook lifts off in the midst of swirling sand. Bob paints from experience here, having witnessed just such scenes during his time with the RAF. But this could be equally relevant today.

Falklands Casevac, Ajax Bay, 28th May 1982 by David Shepherd. During the fierce fighting on 28/29 May 1982 in the battle for Goose Green, the first major land battle of the Falklands campaign, a detachment of Scout helicopters from 656 Squadron Army Air Corps operated in support of 2nd Battalion The Parachute Regiment. Their main task was flying ammunition to the forward companies and evacuating thirty two seriously wounded soldiers to the Field Surgical Team established in the disused refrigeration plant at Ajax Bay. Flying operations continued throughout the night in appalling weather and irrespective of bombing attacks by Argentinean aircraft on the Fleet in San Carlos Water. This painting depicts a near-miss from a mirage fighter bomber on the Royal Fleet Auxiliary Stromness and the Europic Ferry. Captain J G Greenhalgh, Scout detachment commander and pilot of XT649 was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his gallantry during this battle. The painting shows him in his aircraft with his aircrewman Cpl J F Gammon, alongside. During the campaign over 400 casualties were swiftly evacuated by helicopters of 3 Commando Brigade Air Squadron Royal Marines and 656 Squadron Army Air Corps and all survived.
