Quick stop at RAF Brize Norton today. While a significant lack of submarine hunting to be had down here, it is nice to be round aircraft a little bit more our size! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ‘‹

The shape of things to come... Crew of HMS Glasgow - the 1st of 8 new Type 26 frigates - visited Royal Air Force CXX Squadron to see P8 Poseidon aircraft... which they will be operating with in a few years' time to keep hostile submarines at bay.

Poseidon aircraft are capable of detecting, identifying, and tracking vessels both above, and beneath the waves. They use a suite of sensors, cameras, and sonobuoys to monitor ships and submarines, feeding this intelligence to other units including the Royal Navy. #TopGunsC4
