A blustery day for flying through the #London Heli Lanes. The route through the capital city follows the River Thames, which deconflicts transiting helicopters with traffic from Heathrow Airport. Not a bad view either! @TheShardLondon @TowerBridge #flynavy

[RNAS Yeovilton @RNASYeovilton]

Today 3 Commando Merlins @845 set off from @RNASYeovilton to join @RoyalNavy Carrier Strike Group.

They join @HMSQNLZ QUEEN ELIZABETH #CSG21 on a 7 month global deployment & are now embarked @RFAFortVictoria @co_chf @CdreGriff Stay safe #flynavy 🚁🚁🚁⚓️

The Carrier Strike Group 2021 is a potent demonstration of the UK’s formidable naval and air power, and the physical embodiment of the UK’s ambitions on the global stage.

This is Global Britain in action 🌎🇬🇧
