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

[Navy Lookout @NavyLookout]

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 ❤️ 🇬🇧

More to follow but we may have achieved a historic milestone today… 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!

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!

@HMSQNLZ @NAVYfit Fantastic effort by everyone on the course! Hoping some of the team are inspired to get fully qualified! BZ!

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. 🦄 🫡 ⚓️

What a lovely day at @HMS_Collingwood

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

[RN Para Display Team @RNParaDisplay]

What a week! 4 displays, 3 directly supporting Armed Forces Day, a mention by former RN ‘Raider’ @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 !
