At 21, Sergeant Liz McConaghy became the youngest Chinook aircrew member to see action while serving in Iraq.
She was also the longest-serving female Chinook aircrew member on No. 18 Squadron and one of only a small number of women to serve as an RAF loadmaster.
Much of her operational career involved the Medical Emergency Response Team in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Her story demonstrates how Chinook crews transported medical teams and casualties under dangerous and demanding conditions.
