Precision, timing and nerves of steel as parachutists from the Royal Navy Parachute display team landed on HMS Queen Elizabeth
A rare and fantastic sight in Portsmouth Harbour
The @RNParaDisplay team will be performing a jump onto @HMSQNLZ berthed on Princess Royal Jetty, HMNB Portsmouth tomorrow.
The display will consist of 3 parachutists jumping from a light aircraft, identified by smoke flares.

A stunning sight as @RNParaDisplay team performed this parachute jump onto the flight deck of @HMSQNLZ berthed in Portsmouth this morning. HMS Queen Elizabeth is one of @RoyalNavy 's two aircraft carriers โค๏ธ ๐ฌ๐ง
More to follow but we may have achieved a historic milestone todayโฆ Anyone who had eyes turned skyward in @HMNBPortsmouth this morning may have seen the @RNParaDisplay team welcome @HMSQNLZ back to her home port following 8+ months in Rosyth! Video to follow soon!
@RNParaDisplay Team 2026! Team members (new and old) have been participating in Exercise FIRST ARENA 26 - their pre-season work up training! We are ready to display to the public starting in a few weeks!
Merry Christmas from the @RNParaDisplay Team!!! Thinking of all our friends and colleagues deployed or on duty this Christmas!
2025 was quite a season, but we have some great new displays in the planning for 2026!!
That's it for 2025 - amazing season! @ArmedForcesDay events, @UtilitaBowl The Hundred series, community events and Naval Base open days! Loved meeting the enthusiastic crowds and looking forward to a packed 2026 season already!
We massively enjoyed meeting the crowds at the @UtilitaBowl@thehundred series match after we delivered the match ball! Thanks for the warm welcome info the stadium! #RoyalNavy#SouthernBrave
The perfect British summer display? Thrilled to be jumping into @thehundred Cricket Series on 18 Aug @ 18:00! Its been 10 years since the @RNParaDisplay Team jumped into the @UtilitaBowl and we can't wait to return! #TheHundred#RoyalNavy
Huge thanks to @HMS_Collingwood for hosting an excellent Open Day this weekend on Armed Forces Day. A fiercely contested #brickwoods#fieldgun competition brought the drama (BZ to @BritishArmy REME for the win). And to cap it all, I was even saluted by a unicorn. ๐ฆ ๐ซก โ๏ธ

Royal Navy Parachute Display Team at @HMS_Collingwood Open Day and Field Gun Competition finals.
Always good to take in the views over a beautiful sunny Portsmouth & Gosport
Have a look at our Birds-eye view and see if you can spot @HMSQNLZ & @RFAArgus
What a week! 4 displays, 3 directly supporting Armed Forces Day, a mention by former RN โRaiderโ @David__Reed MP in Parliament, displays to RN Senior Leadership but most importantly, to the brilliant people who turned out to enjoy our spectacle! Happy #ArmedForcesDay !
