Our most frequently asked question, since starting trials with UK F-35, is: "what is that open door?" AKA the 'scoop' or 'toilet seat', the Upper Lift Fan Door is explained by one of our embarked F-35 pilots, Wing Cdr Adam Curd RAF #WESTLANT19 @RoyalNavy @RoyalAirForce #UKF35

Yep, this is the game we want to play in. #BigDeckFastJets
65,000 tonnes of #5thGen air superiority surrounded by a formidable ring of grey steel.

🦾 The return of Hellfire 🦾
To stay capable of re-rolling to any seaborne mission we have to remain current with all 🇬🇧 carrier capable aircraft.
This time, the return of my favourite, the @BritishArmy AH-64 Apache 🟩
Capable and and very intimidating💥

🎵I hear her voice, in the morning hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday🎵
🎵Take me home🎵

#PompeyRevs on!

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.

Another key milestone achieved on our journey to #CSG21 as jets fly to a 🇬🇧 carrier in 🇬🇧 waters for the first time in a decade #UKF35
This @OC207Sqn training comes ahead of exercises with our operational squadron @OC617Sqn later this year.

Our thought go out to fellow Mariners on the Admiral Kuznestov.
Sailors are sailors and warships are inherently dangerous no matter what flag flies.

The Captain officially opened the HMS Queen Elizabeth coffee shop: "the Haven". ☕
For those that want to relax after the last watch or perk themselves up for the next!
Thanks to the NAAFI staff who have helped to facilitate this.

They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
