The Dunker: How aircrews learn to escape a helicopter ditched underwater

The Dunker is a world-class facility for essential Underwater Escape Training (UET), simulating how to escape from a helicopter underwater.

Those undergoing the Dunker are briefed by staff, before strapping themselves into a mock cockpit which is then submerged in a swimming pool.

Forces News joined Apache pilots as they took part in the essential training - which they must complete every two years - at RNAS Yeovilton.
