Last year we lost a truly great member of our squadron, CPO ‘Happy’ Munday. We had the huge honour of a visit from his amazing family and got airborne for a local tour in ‘whiskey’, our mighty Merlin aircraft, dedicated to their beloved father and our greatly missed sailor…

We don’t always curse the bad #weather, sometimes we embrace it 😆

Fast and low can be a go to #tactic for delivering our @RoyalMarines to the target and what better place to train than sunny Wales ?? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

A great day watching the annual Field Gun competition @HMS_Collingwood. A fantastic final with a #FAA first and second, @RNASYeovilton crew narrowly pipped to second place by @RNASCuldrose, by 0.3 seconds! Incredible grit, determination and teamwork by all.

[UK Commando Force Operations @Commando_Ops]

As part of the #UKNL50 Commando demo at #MarineDagen, @RoyalMarines from @45CdoGp and SRS fast-roped onto a @korpsmariniers Landing Craft and heli-cast into Den Helder Harbour. Thank you to the @847NAS @co_chf Wildcat crew!

We flew over to Aldergrove in Northern Ireland this week to visit some aspiring aviators, and hopefully inspire the next generation of sailors and soldiers!

We had a great time showing them around the mighty Merlin! Thanks to all the volunteers who made it possible 👏 #flynavy

Forward Air Control! 💥💥💥

FAC(A) is on the menu this week and @847NAS is hungry for it! The capability to control fast air or other aircraft's 🔥 is not lost on 847 and our pilots are quickly becoming the leaders in it! 💪💪💪

Congrats to 5 pilots and 2 aircrewmen - now qualified Junglies, ready to fly @RoyalMarines into action with @co_chf after completing Merlin Mk4 training with @846NAS👏🚁

They received their wings - marking the end of 6 years' training for some.
