It was a pleasure to fly @AdmTonyRadakin_ and @ArmyCGS from Wellington Barracks to Winchester yesterday. En route we demonstrated the new heavy weapons capability of the Wildcat. It's all about #lethality @RoyalNavy @BritishArmy @RNASYeovilton

Whilst we are at home on the flight decks of frigates and destroyers, our force often operates to the QE Class carriers.

Amazing photo of one of our aircraft sporting @RFALymeBay Radome. Little touches like Ship Decals and naming the aircraft give them their own personality @RNASYeovilton @RoyalNavy @CdreGriff @faaoa #strikedeep #flynavy

With @HMSQNLZ smashing through OST, here is a #BankHoliday throwback to her first deployment. Looks like the @815NAS crew showing the "New Kid on the block" how to hover! Looking forward to next year and working with @OC617Sqn @RoyalNavy @RNASYeovilton #strikedeep #flynavy

The lifeblood of our Sqn is our dedicated team of aircrew and engineers. What this photo doesn’t show is our deployed flights, who operate across the globe 365 days a year. To paraphrase @BWallaceMP , “…our finest military asset - our serving personnel” @RNASYeovilton

As @smrmoorhouse announces IOC, we wanted to show you some of the incredible work helping #815NAS become part of that capability. Workers at @ThalesDefence @thalesgroup in Belfast working on #Martlet and Launchers to give the Wildcat it's Teeth (1/2)
