Summary edit

Description
English: Pictured are 846 Naval Air Squadron conducting Role Demos with their Merlin MK3 Helicopters at RNAS Yeovilton.

846 Naval Air Squadron (NAS) is one of two frontline squadrons forming part of the Royal Navy’s Commando Helicopter Force (CHF). 846 is in the vanguard of the conversion to the Merlin Mk3, and has now returned home to RNAS Yeovilton.

846 Naval Air Squadron (NAS) are the first Royal Navy squadron to convert to Merlin Mk 3. Merlin Mk3 is a new aircraft type for the Commando Helicopter Force (CHF). It will advance capability for the primary customer, The Royal Marines.

To take on the demanding Commando Role (from ship to shore operations) the current Merlin Mk3 fleet will undergo an upgrade package through an interim model. It will then move towards the advanced Merlin Mk4.

This will further increase the capability of this proven battlefield helicopter.
