@scottiebateman Absolute opposite to you. Aeros yes. Rattly rollercoaster - I'd really rather not!
I felt sick just watching this.

Three important points for all instructors, in all fields, at all levels.

@RAFMedicWO Live life in the edge!
Returning from uni some years ago, I ran out of fuel just as I left the motorway. Luckily I managed to coast right on to the forecourt of a nearby petrol station. #adrenaline #SevenPs

@Taz_Bhachoo @swasft_eprr Probably best if I don't post the pic of me after I had finished training then! #Sweaty

[OC Ops RAFAC RIAT Det @RAFACRIAT_OCOps]

Back to work this week. Two operational shifts to start, followed by some training in a different 'uniform' today. Thank you @swasft_eprr!
Whilst I hope never to wear this in anger, it's always good to refresh knowledge on important and infrequently used skills.

Wonderful scenes at @IrishAirCorps Baldonnel as 103 year old Battle of Britain pilot Group Captain John ‘Paddy’ Hemingway DFC dons his uniform to welcome @RAFBBMF and his beloved Hurricane. Not many dry eyes on this occasion.

So much work (and kit) goes in to this three day airshow.
Glad that you and the kit got away ok. Thank you for all of the support (and the tents!).
Looking forward to seeing you soon.

I was the last to leave the @RIATCDTDET campsite today! Keys given back to @airtattoo RAF CTE & I followed @2MTSqn to our shared hangar to help with the last of the unloading. When that’s done & the FLT has been returned I can (finally) go home and start the unpacking… (1/2)

@joshparamedic Back to work for a rest eh @joshparamedic?

Our squadron bear Tick Tock has been making lots of friends whilst on his travels at The Royal International Air Tattoo #riat2022 #riat22 @airtattoo

@BarfootRAFAC @RIATCDTDET @RAFACRIAT_OCEng Your invite is certain. Thank you for agreeing to join the team and thank you for your hard work, humour, and new ideas.

[OC Ops RAFAC RIAT Det @RAFACRIAT_OCOps]

Absolutely blown away by the performance of @RAFACRIAT_OCEng's team in getting the campsite packed away in such good time (considering heat and rain experienced this week).
Amazing #leadership and #teamwork from the Eng team as ever.

[OC Ops RAFAC RIAT Det @RAFACRIAT_OCOps]

OC Ops is home!
Car unloaded ☑️
First load of washing on ☑️
Dinner on ☑️
Welcomed home by girlfriend ☑️
Ignored by cat 😼😢

Before leaving I had a series of useful meetings with the team to capture what went well and what we can learn from for next year.

[OC Ops RAFAC RIAT Det @RAFACRIAT_OCOps]

@candlesbykriss I am saddened that this was his experience, it is certainly not what we expect from our people. If not already reported to the staff on site please DM me with your contact details and I will establish comms.

[OC Ops RAFAC RIAT Det @RAFACRIAT_OCOps]

I am mindful that I have not shared many tweets over the last few days. I need to follow @RAFACRIAT_OCEng's example of tweeting every day!
#RIAT22 was certainly one to remember. Despite the hottest weather we have ever seen, the @aircadets team from across the UK were awesome.

[OC Ops RAFAC RIAT Det @RAFACRIAT_OCOps]

@LisaMorgan1608 I love this!

@linben63 @RAFACRIAT_OCEng @aircadets I'm glad you had a good time and intend to join us again! I completely agree, experiences this year will inform decisions next year and together we improve.

[OC Ops RAFAC RIAT Det @RAFACRIAT_OCOps]

@moseph22 I learnt from the best, Ma'am.

[OC Ops RAFAC RIAT Det @RAFACRIAT_OCOps]

@JoLincoln_RAF @airtattoo Ma'am, it was great having the R&S team on site delivering briefings to the nearly 800 @aircadets here as part of the @RIATCDTDET.
