Nice to get out for a walk in #Snowdonia yesterday, and even nicer that the #RAF paid us a visit while we had lunch.

One of our cabs caught teaching mountain flying techniques today.

Another busy night delivering NVD training. 705NAS gives the trainees their first exposure to operating on goggles, an essential foundation for frontline operations. The clear night also gave us the chance to see the #cometNEOWISE to the north west! @RAF_Shawbury #NVG

The 20th Dec 19 saw the handover of #705NAS Commanding Officer from Lt Cdr Paul ‘Jack’ Ryan to Lt Cdr Phil Crompton. Phil is looking forwards to leading the Squadron through the next set of challenges as we continue to train future pilots for the frontline. #FlyNavy #FleetAirArm

[Air Vice-Marshal Alastair Smith @ComdJHC]

Also a big day for @ArmyAirCorps pilots who will now conduct only RW flying training - speeding up their progress to become frontline JHC pilots.
