News travels as fast as lightning.
Another #StrikeCarrier day for us, just that we now have the largest #5thGen Air Group, at sea, in the world.
With the pilots now inducted it will be busy times ahead as we head into #Groupex and #JW202.

Remember last year when our hangar looked cramped with a couple of jets and few helos?
During #GROUPEX, inside space will be at a premium as we pack in 2 fixed & a full rotary air wing.
Outside, a @NATO taskgroup will be operating with us at its heart.

#StrikeCarrier daily business as one of our pairs take off in Alert 5 Mode using the stream launch technique.
#DoubleTrouble then practiced air combat dogfighting against #Typhoon and other #F35s.

3 years ago we took a modern feat of 🇬🇧 #engineering into open water for the first time.
Tonight, we thank everyone that was involved in building that 65,000 tonne Ship, which is now 🇬🇧's #StrikeCarrier.

If on land, we would have received a noise abatement order by now.
Our deck is positively bustling 24hrs a day with 🇬🇧 fixed and rotary wing flying.
Last night we squeezed in @27_Sqn @RoyalAirForce Chinooks to re-qualify their pilots on the UK #StrikeCarrier.
