Ex COBRA WARRIOR recently took place in Northern England which tested Air and Land integration. We had a MAOT present to provide Heli-Handling, pax control & underslung load support for the heli-assets. The conditions were challenging at times!❄️🥶 #TogetherWeDeliver #chinook

Arbroath's RM Condor welcomed back an 846 NAS Merlin HC4 helicopter this evening.

The Navy Board today visited UK Commando Force Operations to speak to Royal Marines and see how they are successfully transforming to meet tomorrow’s challenges. And yes - we also got out on the water!

Immensely proud of the whole-of-government effort to evacuate people from Sudan. Royal Air Force once again proving the worth of AirPower - capability, speed, reach, agility. Well done to all involved. More to do, but brilliant effort thus far. Ministry of Defence 🇬🇧 Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office

A privilege to fly with 27Sqn this week in ZH897. I first flew this aircraft (still N reg then) on a navex through the NY heli lanes. Twin towers were the obvious landmark, sortie date was 9 Sep 01. Different times, all change 2 days later. ⁦RAF Odiham

Milex is go and the first evolution, to the mountains !! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Some of the most #challenging and rewarding #training we do as CHF aircrew. Vital to be able to deliver our Royal Marines at #altitude onto any pinnacle, ridge, bowl or valley 🏔️
