Great to have CAS in NI on Wednesday getting updated on how we are partnering with the people of NI to add value, drive prosperity and protect our country. @RoyalAirForce@RoyalAirForceNI
Great to be in Northern Ireland yesterday, hosted by Parliament and Aldergrove personnel. Our Armed Forces rely on strong ties with devolved nations. I remain immensely proud of personnel at @RoyalAirForceNI who work 24/7 to help protect the UK’s borders.
#RAFRegiment Gunners have been honing their warfighting skills at Otterburn, focusing on the deployment of the 81mm #mortar

We're back at a rather wet @RAFConingsby for the big reveal of the @RAFTyphoonTeam's 2024 display jet - Moggy.
Polly and her team have moved the jet during the night to avoid prying eyes, and now the media are gathering to see it for the first time.

Catch up with the latest from the RAF at @BFSouthatlantic:
- A400M pilots conduct air-to-air refuelling training in the Falklands
- Ex Cobra Warrior begins at @RAFWaddington
- @raf_cosford supports the Birmingham International Tattoo
- The @InvictusGames25 closes.
Both Dan and Bolly have managed to evade each other during this exercise, so codeword 'Knock it Off' is used to bring the training to a close.
This was their last training flight prior to deploying on operations where, if they have to dogfight, it will be for real.
#TopGunsC4
Many of our people cite their experiences at an airshow as inspiration for joining the RAF.
Tune in for next week's episode as we head to the @AirTattoo with the @RAFTyphoonTeam.

It takes a whole team to fly and fight; including the aircrew, ground crew, survival equipment fitters, weapons technicians, engineers, and many more. 💪
