Summary

Description
English: A Royal Air Force reservist Military Driver from 606 (Chiltern) Squadron.

606 Squadron was formed in 1996 as the helicopter support squadron, with the Queen granting it its existing number and title three years later. They have 180 Reservists working in diverse areas such as logistics and flight operations.

It is the only RAF Reserves unit that operates with the Joint Helicopter Command. It has a particularly close relationship with the flying squadrons at RAF Benson: 28 (AC) and 78 (B) Squadron (flying Merlin helicopters), and 33 and 230 Squadron (flying the Puma helicopter). They are often employed around the world supporting RAF Benson assets on operations, training for operations or on other exercises.

All of their roles focus on providing first-class back-up to those flying the missions. Many are also trained to operate as helicopter underslung load teams. Logistics Drivers and Suppliers are, in addition to their main role, trained in providing fuel to helicopters at remote locations.
