A400M Atlas preparing for flight to Barbados on Op RUMAN

Pictured are Alpha Company, 40 Commando Royal Marines, boarding an RAF A400M Atlas to fly from Barbados into the British Virgin Islands to help provide humanitarian assistance to British Overseas Territories during Op RUMAN.

Picture shows an RAF Puma helicopter with Royal Marines delivering vital shelter packs to local residents on Jost Van Dyke Island.

Royal Marines, the Department for International Development (DFID) and the Royal Air Force came together to deliver essential shelters to some of the worst hit areas on the British Virgin Islands (BVI) in the wake of Hurricane Irma.

A team of Royal Marines, a Royal Navy Medic and shelter packs supplied by DFID were collected from Terrence B. Lettsome International Airport by a Puma helicopter of 33 Squadron, RAF Benson.

Royal Air Force logisticians from RAF Brize Norton assisted with the delivery of military personnel and aid cargo to the Caribbean to support disaster relief in the wake of Hurricane IRMA.

RAF aircraft - including C-17, A400M, Puma helicopters and Voyager aircraft - supported a joint task force of RAF, Royal Marines, Army and Royal Navy personnel who supported the Department for International Development as it delivered aid to stricken Caribbean islands.
