Four Merlin helicopters and a Wildcat helicopter from 845 Naval Air Squadron are captured returning home for the final time from HMS Queen Elizabeth as part of Carrier Strike Group 21. The formation reflects a significant operational milestone, marking the conclusion of a major Royal Navy deployment. This image highlights both the scale of the operation and the precision of Fleet Air Arm aviation at the end of a historic global mission.

Alongside the Wildcat helicopter, these aircraft formed a key component of Carrier Strike Group 21, demonstrating the Royal Navy’s ability to project power and sustain aviation operations at range.
