RAF Engineering

RAF Engineering insight & careers. Supporting air operations with roles on aircraft, digital systems/networks, cyber, vehicles & aircrew equipment.

I'm not sure that follows the Government direction to minimise non-essential journeys. You can't just take them out for a drive!

Traffic jam, Cosford style. 😁

Sadness at the end of an area but enormous pride at the lives that 5131(BD)Sqn has saved and its support to air ops over many decades. The bravery and skills of these men and women represent the very best of @RoyalAirForce. The baton now passes to our @BritishArmy colleagues.

[RAF Wittering @RAF_Wittering]

No 5131 Bomb Disposal Squadron stands down. Their history includes almost every conflict since WWII, the fallen of 5131 (BD) Sqn are foremost in our minds. Our heartfelt thanks go to these remarkable men and women, past & present, for their service and sacrifice.

Great list, but this is our most important equation:

Equations that changed the world. 🧠

[RAF Engineering @RAFEngineering]

A great example of innovation from our superb engineers.

[Royal Air Force @RoyalAirForce]

A small team from 47 Squadron, based at @RAFBrizeNorton, who won the RAF100 Engineering Competition in 2018 with an innovative idea for recycling waste hydrocarbons, is helping to boost the drive to decarbonise the military.

@RAFLossiemouth @RAF_Cosford @No1RadioSchool @RoyalAirForce @RAF_Recruitment @DefenceEng @RAFApprentices @DefenceHQ @theapp_guide @P8A_PoseidonRAF Congrats to new recruits and to Lossie on P-8. Big question though, is about the Amber border on the Twitter badge. Mess bar closed, SWO on the warpath, mobile speed camera nearby or Staish had a 'good idea'?

@Jacob_The_Pilot @RoyalAirForce @RAFBF @RAFBBMF @RAF_Valley @RAFLossiemouth @Boss4Sqn @StnCdrLossie @RAFValleyStnCdr @RAFConingsby @fredpar45 Looks awesome. We are concerned that he has been demoted though, especially written he's doing such a great job!

[RAF Engineering @RAFEngineering]

Big milestone today! Our engineers will be maintaining Poseidon in the years ahead but have also led work to certify the type for UK service and to integrate its advanced capabilities.

The new submarine-hunting Poseidon Maritime Patrol Aircraft arrived in the UK today at @Kinloss_Bks in Scotland. The P-8A Poseidon “Pride of Moray” is the first of nine aircraft that the RAF will introduce to patrol the waters around the UK.

From fixing aircraft to fixing cars!

RAF personnel recently visited the Autosport International Show to showcase their engineering skills by turning an everyday car into a race car.

Outstanding achievement and much deserved recognition. Well done Sir!

[Sir Julian Young @Chf_Eng_Air]

I’ve had such lovely messages already, thank you! While it’ll take time to sink in, I’m immensely proud of the recognition for my Service to the @RoyalAirForce, @DefenceES & #Engineering. Great people & #NoOrdinaryJob. Super bonus is that Mrs Y becomes Lady Y for her full support

[RAF Engineering @RAFEngineering]

Our chef and steward colleagues really are exceptional @RAF_Logistics

[RAF Engineering @RAFEngineering]

Congrats to all. A big step in the next stage of your careers. @RoyalAirForce engineer officers are either graduate direct entrants or technicians who undertake extensive academic and military training on their way to a commission.

[RAF Cosford @RAF_Cosford]

Congratulations to the two courses of Basic Entrants Scheme students who graduated from RAF Cosford this week. We wish them every success on Initial Officer Training at RAF Cranwell starting in January and look forward to their return to complete specialist training later in 2020

[RAF Engineering @RAFEngineering]

@RoyalAirForce engineering comes in many shapes and sizes. Technology underpins what we do, but it requires skilled people to deliver air power. Aircrew, battlespace management, engineers and many more.

[Wg Cdr Joe Redhead @StnCdrBoulmer]

Blessed with a cracking Engineering team, woke up to this view. Radar moved seamlessly off the hill and rebuilt. Great job! @RAFEngineering

[RAF Engineering @RAFEngineering]

Well done to the engineers, logisticians and other personnel across @RAF_Wittering and the A4 Force. Outstanding contribution to operations, exercises, RAF100, youth engagement and more👍

[Stn Cdr RAF Wittering @stncdrrafwitt]

Thanks to DCom Ops for taking the time to visit and for presenting the Stainforth Trophy to the fantastic personnel from across @RAF_Wittering and the #A4ForceElements - a Whole Force Team collected this impressive trophy on behalf of the Station and Force 👏.

[RAF Engineering @RAFEngineering]

Glyn has been an exceptional ambassador for #STEM and @RoyalAirForce for a long time. Tireless and inspiring, this accolade is much deserved. @thewisecampaign

[RAF Engineering @RAFEngineering]

Well done to all. Many unconscious barriers to women entering this profession so huge congrats and thank you for inspiring the next generation.

[RAF Engineering @RAFEngineering]

Wow. Definitely #NoOrdinaryJob!

[RAF Odiham @RAF_Odiham]

RAF Odiham Station personnel @18Squadron @27_Sqn have been undertaking the Cold Weather Survival Course at RNoAF Base at Bardufoss in the arctic circle. The northern lights have been particularly stunning!@StnCdrRAFOdiham @ComdJHC
