Landing under a very low ceiling, hardly out of a cloud here. Slightly non-standard camouflage with light aqua blue instead of beige on the forward fuselage. Full colour Wing and Group badges and the red tailband to top it off.

An Egyptian air force Mi-8T escorted a convoy of ships through the Suez canal. The armed helicopters constantly hover around and oversee the shore lines to prevent terrorist attacks. The convoy, commercial cargo as well as some military ships, were closely observed too, like the co-pilot shows when he was taking pictures of our ship, the HNLMS Johan de Witt, the second Landing Platform Dock (LPD) amphibious warfare ship of the Royal Netherlands Navy.
