QinetiQ integrates radar for Type 31 frigate at Portsdown Technology Park https://t.co/htJfi3z9s7

Another step forward for the UK T31 programme. Shore testing is a key reason the RN has confidence in its frontline equipment. #deliveringinspiration #type31 #qinetiq #royalnavy

Privileged to join Australian and New Zealand allies at the Anzac Day Dawn Service this morning. A poignant reminder we are stronger together. Thank you @nzinuk #LestWeForget #

@Brendennel It seems to be happening more, especially in southern hemisphere rugby (from my very non-scientific survey of rugby I have seen this year) - clearing out potential counter ruckers from any angle quickly and hoping they don’t get pinged. Can of worms opening…

@brumby_fan Yes

@BallCarrier_ It’s possible they could all be clean sweeps based on recent performances. Every one of the 4 has beaten each other, so all of them could beat the northern big teams. Eng, Fr and Ire cannot afford to take any lightly.

Day 2 of the Arrowhead User Group and a visit to HDMS PETER WILLEMOES. Fascinating insight into the Type 31 ancestor and Danish experiences. Many thanks to the Captain and officers for their generosity. #ukinpoland #type31 #arrowhead #deliveringinspiration

Good first day at the Arrowhead frigate User Group. Great to see old colleagues from this frigate community and meet new connections. #arrowhead #type31 #baltexpo #pgz #babcock #ukinpoland

@derekalberts1 Remember when they changed the rule for pros to allow them to pass forward so long as they tried to pass sideways. Top level law changes doing the game no favours.

@pinstripedline Watched Ark go up the Solent with my mum on her way to scrap. Generational change.

Thales has announced the completion of key factory tests on the mission and combat systems that will equip the Royal Navy’s new Type 31 frigates.

@KatMerchant14 Privilege to meet @KatMerchant14 this year - set a great example of positivity & rugby ambition to my 11 year old daughter; spoke compellingly on the importance of being yourself

An honour to support @meaglemp and @MelSimmonsFCDO at #MSPO2025 this week. Great chance to connect with #Miecznik partners and build relationships to benefit UK and Poland

[Dame Melinda Simmons @MelSimmonsFCDO]

My first trip out of #Warsaw is to #MSPO2025 in Kielce. Some great bilateral discussions led by @meaglemp A timely opportunity to discuss today’s security challenges and how 🇵🇱&🇬🇧 can address them together

@stephenjones9 They didn’t lose.They played some really nice stuff in patches - but not as much nice rugby as the reputation of the squad suggested could happen.Both coaches made selection errors, strategic (2 full backs?1 warmup game?) & tactical. Good series but not great.

[Type 31 International @type_31]

@footy_irish @stephenjones9 Probably news to Huw Jones, Ellis Genge, Jac Morgan and Russell that they were being carried along for the ride. 🤣 (I would be first to admit Ringrose would have rightly played every minute if fit).

Today we celebrate 188 years of the Royal Navy’s Engineering Branch.

From steam to state-of-the-art systems, our #aWEsoME engineers have kept the fleet moving with skill, innovation and dedication.

Proud of our past, driven for the future this is for every Royal Navy engineer!

It’s been fantastic to have HMNZS Te Kaha as part of the UK Carrier Strike Group, demonstrating interoperability between close partners.

'Getting our feet wet'. The culmination of some big engineering moves sees the Ship in the water and passing under the Forth bridges. Now safely back in Rosyth dockyard, the next phase of construction and fit-out begins. Read more in the article linked below 👇#nextgenfrigate
