A busy year so far training with international allies, testing each other's capabilities (and interoperability) to the extreme - there is no other way to train, credibly.

[Gp Capt Phil Marr @PMarr_RAF]

Our latest additions to the UK F-35 fleet arrived safely last night, thanks to the whole Marham and DE&S teams and to our industry colleagues on both sides of the Atlantic.

[Gp Capt Phil Marr @PMarr_RAF]

Well done Cosford, glad we could be there to support.

[RAF Cosford @RAF_Cosford]

Fantastic Images to finish @cosfordairshow by @SketchLisa of @RAFBBMF display and @RAF_Marham F-35B Flypasts & hover.

Despite the immense heat 🥵, we hope you all had a fantastic day.

We look forward to seeing you in 2024!

[OC 617 Squadron @OC617Sqn]

Happy Birthday 617 Squadron! Start of a special day of remembrance and celebration in the memory of all those fine men and women who served before us. #Dambusters80 @RAF_Marham @RoyalAirForce @RoyalNavy

[Gp Capt Phil Marr @PMarr_RAF]

Best job in the world.

[RAF Marham @RAF_Marham]

Yesterday F-35B Lightning aircraft from @OC207Sqn took off from @RAF_Marham and arrived onboard @HMSQNLZ to conduct Carrier Qualifications.

[ACM Harv Smyth @ChiefofAirStaff]

It was my great pleasure to welcome our @Luftforsvaret 🇳🇴 colleagues to @RoyalAirForce and @RAF_Marham this week. We discussed plans for closer co-operation on operations and on shared equipment programmes, including F35 Lightning and Poseidon maritime patrol. @UKinNorway

[Gp Capt Phil Marr @PMarr_RAF]

Huge thanks to all of our supporters and enablers at home and overseas - and to our amazing photographers for bringing it all to life. Happy New Year!

[Gp Capt Phil Marr @PMarr_RAF]

An incredible year for international Defence collaboration.

[Gp Capt Phil Marr @PMarr_RAF]

A true legend. Deepest sympathies to Johnny’s family from everyone at RAF Marham.

[Royal Air Force @RoyalAirForce]

The RAF is saddened to learn of the death of Squadron Leader George Leonard ‘Johnny’ Johnson, the last remaining member of the legendary 617 Squadron “Dambusters” raid on the Eder, Sorpe and Mohne dams during World War II.

Per Ardua Ad Astra.

[Gp Capt Phil Marr @PMarr_RAF]

Great to receive our latest three additions to the growing UK Lightning Force. Thanks to 207 Squadron for delivering.

[Gp Capt Phil Marr @PMarr_RAF]

Great to join @HMSQNLZ and @OC617Sqn this week, training hard day & night in rough seas – impossible to convey the hostility of the deck environment when the wind, rain and swell picks up in the pitch black – credit to the joint embarked team.

[UK Carrier Strike Group @COMUKCSG]

#CSG22 just got louder – @OC617Sqn are here. #CarrierStrike is in full force.

[Gp Capt Phil Marr @PMarr_RAF]

A good day’s hunting alongside our Typhoon buddies and an excellent end-to-end test of our combat capability using a nearly expired batch of missiles

[Royal Air Force @RoyalAirForce]

RAF Typhoon & Lightning jets have conducted their largest ever mass firing of Advanced Short Range Air-to-Air Missiles. Over the space of 10 days, pilots from 8 different squadrons successfully launched a total of 53 missiles at target drones. Full story: https://t.co/K3CUwD0Dig
