"Let us remember those who will not come back, their constancy and courage in battle, their sacrifice and endurance in the face of a merciless enemy". George VI, 9th May 1945.
Shine a light tonight at 2130 to remember them.

"Everyone, man or woman, has done their best. Everyone has tried. Neither the long years nor the dangers, nor the fierce attacks of the enemy, have in any way weakened the unbending resolve of the British nation". Churchill 9th May 1945.
Proud & thankful 75 years on.

So how can this page help our fantastic followers in these trying times.
Well, isolation is something we are pretty used to as sailors so, why not give some tips to get you through this.
One a day with a nice pic until normal life returns, I get told off or you get bored 😂

In news that may not break the headlines, a hero was brought back home today.
Our thoughts are with her family and those who served with her.

Whilst we were going to use footage of our encounter with #StormCiaraUk, rather we promote the audacious work of our fellow seafarers @RNLI
Whilst we may protect 🇬🇧 waters in different spheres our work is equally important.

#UKF35🇬🇧 ZMI45 was on #TopGear strutting its stuff last night on @BBCTwo
Here it is in its 'day job' conducting carrier qualifications for our new @RoyalNavy and @RoyalAirForce pilots.

Great to be back up in our first sailing ground in the Moray Firth #Scotland
Much water has passed under our keel since but still, stories of #Invergordon are heard in our passageways - the only town to have had both UK carriers visit and itself steeped in @RoyalNavy history.

Our rotary wing elements are duty 24/7 whilst we are at sea.
As their tasking is flexible and often time critical, they have to be savvy in keeping aircraft sustainable.
So, here is next generation pay at pump - Helicopter In-Flight Refuelling.

#Portmouth at night is quite alright at the moment.
Our 2020 sea legs are itching though as we continue our preparations to sail in order to conduct #UKF35 flying in UK waters for the first time.
