Our guest today is Liz McConaghy who spent 17 years flying as a crewman with the RAF Chinook fleet. She was the youngest aircrew member to deploy to Iraq and the only female on the Chinook wing for 4 years. Liz completed 2 tours of Iraq and 10 deployments to Afghanistan.
On this podcast we discuss flying on operations in both those theatres and what it was like to be on the Medical Emergency Response Teams (MERT) that recovered wounded soldiers from the battle space back to Camp Bastion. Liz talks about the problems she encountered post tour including PTS and being medically discharged from the RAF. Finally we discuss her book "Chinook Crew "Chick"", why she wrote it and how it helped her recovery.
