We were honoured with a very special send off:
Her Majesty The Queen was briefed on our plan by Commodore Moorhouse - and met the sailors, marines and aviators who will make it happen on her behalf.

What a beautiful morning for our entry. It’s hard to believe just weeks ago we were flying #UKF35 from these decks for the very first time. Home is in clear view 👀 #WESTLANT19
