Well done to our latest Royal Navy air #engineering officers who completed the rigorous training to oversee Merlin helicopter maintenance. 7 achieved certificates of competency, although 3 are deployed and so missed the photo with Rear Adm Finn & Culdrose's Cdr Betts #BZ all.



Commissioned in April 1980, the Royal Naval Reserve Air Branch has proudly supported the Royal Navy for decades. Later, HMS Pegasus commissioned in 2022. From deployments abroad to duties at home, our personnel continue to serve King & country with pride and professionalism 🇬🇧⚓️🫡



Huge congratulations today to Lt Tamsyn Hood who was presented with her 'wings' by Fleet Air Arm Rear Admiral Anthony Rimington while at #824NAS. Lt Hood is an airborne surveillance and control observer & due to depart soon for 820 Naval Air Squadron in HMS Prince of Wales for #OpHighmast UK Carrier Strike Group


🎓 Congratulations to our former SEMC graduates! Brilliant to see these Air Engineer Officers progressing from HMS Sultan to Merlin Mk2 certificates at RNAS Culdrose. From students to global operators - world-class Royal Navy engineering! 🚁✈️ #STEM #AwEsome #FleetAirArm

I am the god of hellfire and I bring you… 🔥 It’s hotting up RNAS Culdrose where a £4.4m firefighting trainer has been opened. Personnel face fire, flashovers, intense heat, smoke and other dangers to ensure they can cope with the real thing. 🚒 🔗royalnavy.mod.uk/news/2025/augu…
