Today is apparently Admin Professionals Day. I am proud to have joined the RAF into what was called the 'Administrative Secretarial' branch. I dislike bureaucracy + long meetings, but I do like trying to support people + making a difference. I also love this quote!

This week, RAF Boulmer hosted our Annual Reception, inviting members of the community whom the station has close ties with, for an evening of thanks in the Officers’ Mess. For the full story, see here: raf.mod.uk/our-organisati…

Such a worthwhile Force Development activity for our personnel. Our history runs deep.

In a dignified ceremony at RAF Cranwell, 78 Squadron received its ceremonial standard, symbolising its storied past and vital role in today's RAF. This event underscores the squadron's legacy and readiness to meet future challenges.

It's a lovely job writing up awards; it's even nicer when the list comes through and I make the phone calls and write congratulatory letters! A particular well done to 602 (City of Glasgow) Sqn Intelligence Flt, and Mr W my H&S guru.

How awesome is this fluffy dinosaur?! Just kidding - one of 4 Barn Owl chicks ringed RAF Boulmer (Home of 19 Sqn, 20 Sqn and 144SU) today. We're so lucky to be custodians of some amazing wildlife across our sites: watch this space for more detail! (NB 144SU's badge is a Barn Owl - watching the skies!)

Read all about it! 📰 A real pleasure to host Northern Scot as they chatted with our new Station Commander, Group Captain Sarah Brewin 👇

What a privilege to host ACM Sir Rich Knighton and WORAF yesterday. A busy programme showcasing our people, the unit, and our vital operational output. So proud of everyone who contributed.

Smashing to meet our new MP to discuss people, community, and defence of the realm!

What a weekend for The International Ayr Show! Celebrating #RAuxAF100 alongside my 602 Sqn team & regular & reserve colleagues from across Royal Air Force RAF Recruitment RAF Air Cadets RAF in Scotland. Lovely to see RAF BBMF in the sunset. Bravo destinationsouthayrshire we had a great time 😎

On Battle of Britain Day, as every day, RAF Boulmer (Home of 19 Sqn, 20 Sqn and 144SU) monitors and protects the skies. Per Ardua.

Super proud of all the team who were involved with this. An outstanding performance in front of a large crowd, and a very emotional and poignant event under beautiful Northumbrian skies. Per Ardua.

I had a great discussion with a bunch of 4 year olds this week, looking at superheroes and real life people who help us. I tried to explain radar. They probably just remember that bats 🦇 echolocate with a raspberry noise so they don't crash into things. It's almost the same.

This week I was honoured to place a remembrance tribute in Parliament. As I placed it I was thinking of those serving at nearby RAF Boulmer, but also of my Grandpa, who fought at Monte Cassino in 1944. Many of his comrades never returned home. We will remember them.

Across Northumberland this weekend Boulmer-based personnel paraded and paid their respects. We paused today to gather as one and reflect on those who have suffered for our collective safety and freedom.

Our RAF Boulmer (Home of 19 Sqn, 20 Sqn and 144SU) community has been crafty creating some lovely decorations for St Michael's Church, Alnwick, inaugural Christmas Tree Festival! Pop along and enjoy the sight and smell of 50 lovely fresh trees decorated by every corner of Alnwick society! RAF Com Spt

Personnel of RAF Boulmer (Home of 19 Sqn, 20 Sqn and 144SU) + Air C2 Force enjoyed a delightful Christmas lunch with residents of RAF Association Rothbury House today. A warm welcome, delicious food, and great dits as always! I'm sure the brandy sauce gets stronger every year...

Cards written way back in November for those overseas today, and goodies for all the various sections at work at RAF Boulmer (Home of 19 Sqn, 20 Sqn and 144SU) this Christmas time. Everyone was in good spirits, diligently protecting our skies whilst wearing appropriately dodgy jumpers. Merry Christmas one and all.
