Staying fit is key to both physical and mental health. For our Reservists that means fitting in training around two jobs! So a massive congratulations to AR Hughes & L/Cpl Beatley on their success in the recent London Marathon #TeamBenson #comdjhc

[606 (Chiltern) Squadron @606Sqn]

Training takes many forms, the Sqn have recently returned from a very successful force development trip to France studying the events of the 6 June 1944 contrasted with modern combined operations. #ComdJHC #Acrossallboundaries
