A @RoyalNavy sailor - inspired by his love of football - is walking an impressive 403 miles from Cornwall to Hampshire this summer to raise money for @RNRMC
Commander Andrew 'Scooby' Plenty will walk a punishing 25-30 miles a day.

#OTD in 1945, the Fleet Air Arm dealt a devastating blow to the Japanese Empire with the first of two carrier-launched strikes at oil refineries.

Personnel on @820NAS – whose forebears took part – remembered the men of Palembang.

Perisher’s final exercise pushes submarine commanders to their limits, fighting against the best Anti-Submarine helicopters in the world.
