How could we not share this shot of this thing of beauty?! Qualifying MV-22 Osprey to land on our decks in both day and night gives us so much more flexibility. Great skills @USNavy Did you know that RN phots aren't allowed to photoshop their images, BTW? Just saying! #WESTLANT19

What a snowy Norwegian welcome 🌨❄️
This was a harbour entry which required precision and focus from all parts of ship.

11 years between these pictures; the RN has today again launched a jet from a carrier whilst replenishing at sea. This force-multiplier shows the Service's transformation in that time; Invincible to QE class, Wave to Tide class and Harrier to Lightning #WESTLANT19 #backinthegame
