P. J. Chamberlain joined the Royal Air Force in March 1980 and likely served as ground crew, firstly with Buccaneer and Tornado aircraft in the U.K. and Germany, later with Jaguar attack aircraft in the U.K., and then onto Chinook helicopters. During 'Operation Haven' from 6 April-17 July 1991, 12 Chinooks were deployed in support of No. 3 Commando Brigade, Royal Marines, 4 of which originated from R.A.F. Odiham, the remainder coming directly from 18 Squadron and 'Operation Granby'.

Chamberlain was one of approximately 5,000 servicemen to be deployed on the 3 month long operation, the majority of whom were Royal Marines or Army in direct support of No. 3 Commando Brigade, such as No. 29 Commando Regiment, Royal Engineers, No. 59 Independent Squadron, Royal Engineers, and No. 47 Air Despatch Squadron, Royal Logistics Corps. It is believed that Chamberlain retired in 2003 and now works in Saudi Arabia; sold directly by the recipient to the present vendor, with copied research.
