A @99Sqn C-17 from @RAFBrizeNorton landed at @spacecornwall night, carrying @VirginOrbit’s ‘LauncherOne’ rocket.

Later this year, Virgin Orbit will launch this rocket into space as part of the first ever space launch from UK soil. The RAF is proud to support this historic event.

Did you know that the Union Flags🇬🇧 on the starboard side of our aircraft are back to front?

This is intentional, and is actually an international standard. We get asked about this a lot, so here’s a quick run-through as to how it works 👇

[RAF Coningsby @RAFConingsby]

An RAF spokesperson said:
“The RAF can confirm Quick Reaction Alert aircraft were launched last night from RAF Coningsby to intercept a civilian aircraft that was causing concern. The aircraft was safely escorted to Stansted Airport.”

[Emma Royce OBE PhD @DrEmmaEgging]

Privilege to sign the Armed Forces Covenant with @ChiefofAirStaff. So fitting as RAFC Cranwell was where I saw Jon graduate in 2001 and where @JonEggingTrust delivered our first Blue Skies programmes in 2012. Brilliant to celebrate our unique partnership with @RoyalAirForce there

[Ministry of Defence 🇬🇧 @DefenceHQ]

Today we remember the Ukrainian men and women from all walks of life, who are fighting for their nation’s independence.

Including those recruits who have been taking part in UK-led training programmes up and down the country.

This Ukrainian Defenders Day, we #StandWithUkraine
