LRL: How long were you out there for?
Blakey: “I formed part of the main body, after receiving briefings and pre deployment familiarisation at TRUK HQ we deployed for a two-week period 19/09/2017 to 02/10/2017. We boarded a military flight out of Brize Norton, which was pretty seamless to be honest, can’t fault their service right up to kissing the tarmac in Barbados. Maria was still barrelling through the Virgin Islands at this stage, so we were grounded for a few days before the civvy connection flight to Tortola could get organised.”
