Low-level flying is an integral part of being a military pilot. Check out the recent footage captured by our colleagues in 105 Squadron of Flying Training School staff and students navigating their way through the Wicklow Mountains.

Today we remember the crew of F265, Capt Derek Furniss and Cadet David Jevens who tragically lost their lives in Cornamona, Galway, 14 years ago on this day. We also send condolences to the Jevens family on the recent passing of David's grandfather, Capt Daniel Jevens (retd)
