"Decoys: A World of Illusions and Protection" From the serene beauty of Long Point Island to the treacherous battlefields of Afghanistan, they have played a crucial role in various settings. Engravings like "On the Way to the Decoys" and "Duck-Shooting at Long Point Island, on Lake Erie" capture the essence of their usage. In times of conflict, even helicopters rely on decoy flares for defense. Witnessing a Royal Navy Sea King Mk 4 or a Merlin Helicopter releasing these flares in Afghanistan is both awe-inspiring and humbling. The Lynx Helicopter firing flares over HMS Monmouth showcases how these aerial warriors protect their vessels. Away from war zones, Mexico's House stands as a testament to artistry and tradition. Clay Sutton's duck decoys in New Jersey exemplify how hunters use them skillfully during their pursuits. But it's not just humans who benefit from decoy tactics; nature too finds its harmony with them. Great Bustards, such majestic creatures, are lured back by strategically placed wing-tagged males beside carefully crafted decoys. Whether it be naval engagements off Heligoland or defensive aid suite tests fired by Lynx Helicopters, one thing remains constant – decoys serve as an illusionary shield against danger. In this world where illusions meet reality, where protection takes many forms, we find ourselves captivated by the ingenuity behind each use of decoys. From ancient engravings capturing moments frozen in time to modern-day battles fought with advanced technology – let us appreciate the power that lies within these seemingly simple creations called 'decoys'.
