From the skies to one of the world’s most remote islands. ✈️

On 9 May 2026, an Atlas A400M flew from Ascension Island to Tristan da Cunha, delivering paratroopers and vital medical supplies to support personnel and residents on the island.

Six paratroopers from 16 Air Assault Brigade jumped from the aircraft, including tandem jumps with a nurse and doctor to provide medical support on the ground.

Alongside the team, the A400M also carried out airdrops of essential medical supplies.

A British Army specialist team parachuted onto Tristan da Cunha to deliver critical medical support after it was confirmed that one British national on the island was suspected of contracting Hantavirus

12 June 82, the battle on Mt Longdon is won, but at great cost. 23 British troops died and many wounded. Sgt Ian McKay was also awarded a posthumous VC for his valour in the face of the enemy.

I’ll never forget pulling into the lay-by on the Newry River where the first bomb exploded and thinking about the carnage of that day the second device deliberately placed to respond to the follow up actions of the security forces a tremendous loss for @TheParachuteReg

[TheParachuteRegiment @TheParachuteReg]

On the night of the 27 August 1979 two roadside bombs planted by the IRA at Warrenpoint killed eighteen British soldiers.

The ambush happened at Narrow Water near Warrenpoint in County Down. Six soldiers were killed in the first explosion when a bomb in a lorry was detonated by remote control as the soldiers drove past in a four tonne military vehicle travelling towards Newry. In addition, five soldiers were injured, two of them seriously. 

The second explosion took place around twenty minutes later. A bomb had been hidden in a gate lodge opposite Narrow Water Castle. The solid granite structure was completely destroyed in the blast which killed twelve soldiers, some of whom had been sent in as reinforcements following the first explosion. 

Remembering our fallen soldiers.

Lest we forget

This shot is from 1997. Here it shows me getting set to perform a static line jump at 12,000ft.

Incidentally, this is one of my favourite photos from my military service. I’m not sure why, it just is. 🏴‍☠️

In battle, I fear no enemy’s ability, nor underestimate his ability, power or threats. I will fight him with all my might and skills – staying alert to avoid traps and try to escape if I should ever be captured. I will never surrender while I still have the means to fight, though I may be the last paratrooper. - Taken from the US Airborne Creed
