Helicopter crewman operating winch - SAS 'hot extraction'
Submitted by Editorial team on 22 October 2008 - 9:56pm.
A crewman operates the helicopter's winch, while a SAS trooper covers the extraction with a M60 machine gun. During a 'hot extraction' the first person aboard was required to operate the helicopter's machine gun so the crewman was free to uplift the remaining soldiers.
Watch a photo slideshow of the hot extraction here.
