The Boeing Chinook HC.Mk 1 (British variant of the CH-47 Chinook) was deployed by the Royal Air Force (RAF) No. 7 Squadron to Lebanon in 1984 as part of the British Forces Lebanon (BRITFORLEB) contingent supporting United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) peacekeeping operations during the Lebanese Civil War (1975–1990).
The Chinook HC.Mk 1 played a crucial role in troop transport, medical evacuation (MEDEVAC), and logistics support under hazardous combat conditions, marking one of the RAF’s first major operational deployments of the Chinook in a UN-mandated conflict zone.
