Wonderful scenes at @IrishAirCorps Baldonnel as 103 year old Battle of Britain pilot Group Captain John ‘Paddy’ Hemingway DFC dons his uniform to welcome @RAFBBMF and his beloved Hurricane. Not many dry eyes on this occasion.

Aviators with @820NAS honoured the final wishes of WW2 Swordfish pilot George Gibb – casting his ashes into the waters over which he once flew. A service was held on HMS Queen Elizabeth recently as she made her way back through the Mediterranean

Thursday 2nd December 2021 was the last day in uniform for Flight Lieutenant Douglas Brown.
His @RoyalAirForce career as a helicopter pilot has spanned 37 years and 9200 flying hours, of which 3000 were instructional.
Thank you for your Service Flt Lt Brown.

Visited our partners @HeliOperations at Portland & Somerton, 🇬🇧. Great to see that ab-initio & captaincy training on #SEAKING are progressing well, while we can concentrate on #SEALION trng.
Impressive also how the Sea King spares store & training infrastructure has evolved! 👍
Chris, I can assure you every effort was made to minimise noise whilst achieving the aims of the training… the aircraft were shut down for 45 mins and departed before 23:00.
Regards
HeliOps were supporting a necessary joint forces training exercise that ensures personnel are fully trained and able to respond to national emergencies. HeliOps provides this support free and are most grateful for the service of our armed forces. You are welcome to visit HeliOps.

Today, 11 November, we remember not just Armistice Day, but also the daring attack in 1940 by Swordfish biplanes on the Italian fleet at Taranto. It remains one of the many battle honours within the @RoyalNavy and the Fleet Air Arm
What do pilots do when something goes wrong? Many emergencies cannot be practiced in the aircraft, so a high-fidelity flight simulator is essential for effective training. This is ours, housed in our training facility in Cornwall.
