The picture depicts a post-action event on Operation HERRICK, the UK’s contribution to the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force’s combat operations in Afghanistan, which took place during the period 2002-14.

With a brief description of the Campaign. Image Size: 60.5 x 35.0 cms. Limited Edition of 250 prints.

AL WAKI By Stuart Brown – Price: £40.00

The picture depicts the furious firefight that occurred in the Al Waki Market in Basrah, Iraq, in August 2007, in which A Flight of No1 Squadron RAF Regiment was engaged by some 50 Iraqi insurgents. The two-hour ‘contact’ left at least 16 insurgents dead, but the price was high as Senior Aircraftman Martin Beard, the Section light-Machine Gunner, was killed in action while providing covering fire for his comrades. His Section Commander, Corporal David Hayden, evacuated Beard over 200m – all under withering enemy fire – but he had been fatally wounded. Corporal Hayden received the Military Cross – the first ever awarded to an RAF airman. With brief account of the action. Image Size: 61.5 x 38.0 cms. Limited Edition of 450 prints.

HABBANIYA – 2 MAY 1941 By Stuart Brown – Price: £55.00

The picture records the action on 2 May 1941 when, under effective fire from an Iraqi brigade of some 9,000 men on the plateau overlooking the besieged RAF station at Habbaniya, three Rolls-Royce armoured cars of No 1 Armoured Car Company RAF recovered the ground crew and pilot of a Wellington bomber after being hit by anti-aircraft fire while on a bombing run over the Iraqi positions. As a result of the RAF Armoured Car Company’s action, the Iraqi forces were deterred from taking the airfield and failed to capitalise on their numerical advantage; the siege of RAF Habbaniya effectively ended that day. With brief description of the action. Image Size: 57.5 x 36.5 cms Limited Edition of 250 prints.
