Airmobile Sappers at Work
51 Field Squadron (Airmobile) Royal Engineers, Operation HAMDEN, July - November 1995.
The squadron was part of 24 Airmobile Brigade, based at Ploce on the Croatian coast in the summer of 1995.
The central scene shows sappers constructing ‘Corimec’ (accommodation units) on Mount Igman, near Sarajevo. They also constructed gun emplacements for 105mm Light Guns.
The scene at top left shows sappers constructing defensive sangars at the mountain-top site of Bjelesnica. In the background is the damaged mast of the broadcast relay station, at the top of the ski-ing complex. The scene at upper right shows training, with troops abseiling from Lynx Mk 9 helicopters of 3rd Regt Army Air Corps, 200 feet above ground level. At lower right, the sappers are seen creating the Bulk Fuel Installation (BFI) at Ploce. At lower left, divers are operating from two Rigid Raiders after a Lynx AH7 of 3 AAC crashed on 20 August on a training mission over the Adriatic.
