Today's flypast by a Merlin helicopter during the Passing Out Parade. Todays parade marked the Passing Out of not only the Officer entry but the first Ratings to be trained at BRNC. @RoyalNavy @CaptainRReadwin @DartmouthBRNC#Dartmouth#Devon
For the first time in history Officers and Ratings have passed out together at BRNC today. A fantastic and special day, with all delighted that the First Sea Lord, @AdmTonyRadakin, was here to take the salute. @RoyalNavy@HMS_Raleigh
A Merlin Mk2 from 824 NAS paid us a visit yesterday whilst conducting a multitask training mission, even taking photos of our brand new gym. Due to open later this year! #PhotoOp#fitness
RNAS Culdrose Wings Parade #COVID19 style: no immaculate uniforms, no visiting admirals, no marching band, parade, watching families & absolutely no handshakes. But it still remains: these 12 Merlin aircrew have completed years of training to serve frontline @RoyalNavy Well done
A long video for 173 new Officers who will always have a lump in their throat at the sound of this tune. Congratulations! Best wishes for your next assignments and well done RMB - nice weather for ducks! @DartmouthBRNC @CaptainRReadwin
@andyaitchison @RNASCuldrose @tigerbosssarah Not just Andy, another Andy Aitchison who takes a good photo and likes to roam Dartmoor with a zoom lense and aircraft scanner for fun 👍. Nice man.
🐯🥰 Fact: Merlin Mk2 does everything. Very grateful to TigerTaxis 814NAS for the trooping extraction at the end of a tough week🌨 on Dartmoor for the Officer Cadets on BRNC's Exercise ABLE; the OCs' first big leadership hurdle

@DartmouthBRNC @andyaitchson thanks for taking the photos. @tigerbosssarah @RNASCuldrose thanks for Tiger Taxis. The lucky Officer Cadets that won the run-off and got the lift back to BRNC absolutely loved it.
It has been an incredibly busy period for the #WESTLANT19 Carrier Strike Group, since we left the UK in August. Here is a video by Leading Photographer Dan Shepherd, summarising what we have achieved so far. Keep coming back to see what excitement is still to come! ⚡️ #QNLZatSea
@biskupsstofan@RNASCuldrose In the extremely rare event of an emergency ditching in the sea it's a hand rail for the Observer and Aircrewman to grab hold of and follow to make sure they find their exits when top-heavy aircraft rolls upside down. Bright white and illuminated to help escape in total darkness.
Initial Warfare Officer (Aviators) course @RNASCuldrose. Many thanks to the air station for hosting BRNC Midshipmen this week and opening their eyes to the fantastic career ahead as a RN Pilot or RN Observer. F35, Merlin & Wildcat are waiting. #flynavy#cornwall#enthusiam
The @RoyalNavy’s sub-hunting experts have been working with an American submarine to test tactics on protecting aircraft carriers from threats beneath the waves 🇺🇸 🇬🇧
