Every vertical landing is hard work. Inspired by the personnel who work the flight deck aboard HMS Prince of Wales, On Deck pays tribute to the chock heads, badgers, engineers, and all those on deck who are essential for every launch and recovery. Operating just metres from jet exhausts, spinning lift fans and roaring engines, they are the calm in one of the most demanding workplaces on earth. Bringing an F-35B back onto a moving aircraft carrier is a challenge in its own right. The pilot must precisely position the aircraft over a deck that is constantly pitching, rolling and heaving beneath them, the deck crews help guide and run on-deck ops with precision. There is little margin for error. During Op FIRECREST in the High North, you can enjoy freezing temperatures, biting winds, sea spray, ice and relentless weather turning an already unforgiving environment into one of the harshest places to operate on earth. Now try that at night, under deck lighting, with reduced visibility. Only the professionalism of the team keeps the operation going. On Deck celebrates the people who make carrier aviation possible—those who brave the elements, trust their training and deliver every recovery safely, day or night.
