Some great footage from our #MerlinMk4 operating from @RFAArgus recently alongside @RoyalMarines.

As the amphibious specialists, flying from ship to shore is all in a days work for the #Junglies

.@845NAS delivered 3 years' supplies of logs to remote refuge huts in northern Norway as a 'thank you' to the local populace for allowing them to train on their land over the winter.

[Sir Martin Connell @MartinJConnell]

Fascinating 24 hours inside the Arctic Circle with @Commando_Ops as they hone their winter warfighting skills working alongside our Norwegian allies as we sharpen our commitment to @NATO . Not many people can operate in this unforgiving environment. Strong evidence of innovation as well. 🇬🇧🇳🇴

As you can see here, HIFR, or Helicopter In Flight Refuelling, is an emergency procedure that involves a helicopter attaching to a refuel hose whilst the flight deck crew wrestle with the other end. #Teamwork

The Royal Marines have taken me, Mr Average, and got me to do some of the most amazing things of my life. I honestly wish I'd joined up at 16, it would have been great for me. They're hoofing. Guy Martin: Arctic Warrior airs Wednesday 11th & Thursday 12th December
