A year of sunsets and sunrises at sea. As the sun sets on 2017, a dawn of a new era of @RoyalNavy carrier aviation begins in 2018. Happy New Year to all of our followers across the world. #HappyNewYear2018

A perfect sunrise over the flightdeck this morning.

2 CH-47 Chinooks have embarked as part of our Rotary Wing flying trials.

Good Morning from the Strait of Gibraltar before we make our first overseas visit to Gibraltar. Every Sailors favourite run ashore 🇬🇮
57
Aircraft, sea, sunshine. It’s a good view up here on the flight deck as we approach #Gibraltar.
58
Our home from home in the Mediterranean. #Gibraltar

A throwback to when our predecessor visited #Gibraltar

And that’s us away from the wall. Thank you for the warm welcome #Gibraltar! #QNLZAtSea

Rotary wing flying trials are progressing well and now also include night flying. All aspects of flying from our new ship are being tested and verified, from routines and procedures right down to the optimal brightness of lighting on the deck. #QNLZAtSea
62
That’s the second of the Chinooks off the flight deck. It’s not a bad view up here in Flying Control! #FLYCO

. @HMSQNLZ with RFA Tidespring nearly 5 years ago, and then again yesterday.

A great picture of our starboard side Marine Evacuation System (MES) trial, taken by @SouthseaLiving .

Thank you @portsmouthtoday for the residents parking permit; parallel parking is proving a bit of a nightmare though! Stunning perspective of what we look like from the common.
66
F35s will operate from our flight deck later this year. We’re waiting for the right moment to ask Cdr Air if around a thousand of us can squeeze into the back of FLYCO to watch... Although the CO may have the better take-off view in the fwd island. We’ll ask both 😇 twitter.com/ukdefjournal/s…

Happy #RAF100 birthday to Flight Lieutenant North. Andy joined us in Nov 17 as the first ‘light blue’ member of Ship’s Company and was the first member of the @RoyalAirForce to go to sea in a QEC carrier. Serving in a @RoyalNavy warship is definitely #NoOrdinaryJob!

‘Britain’s Biggest Warship’ tells the story of @HMSQNLZ so far, from the build process to being commissioned into the @RoyalNavy. Tune in to #BBC2 at 8pm on Sunday 15th April for the first of three episodes. bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/pr…

And that’s a wrap on episode one. We hope you enjoyed an insight into our little big world. We hope to see you same time, same place next week for episode two.

Hands to TV stations, Hands to TV stations! Sailing on to a 📺 near you, our beloved warship HMS Queen Elizabeth. Tune in to @BBCTwo now and use the #BritainsBiggestWarship. Hope you enjoy ⚓️
72
Standby for the finale of #britainsbiggestwarship Sunday 8pm on @BBCTwo. Nothing like a tear jerker to close a series and we think this one will tug at everyones heart strings. From an emotional commemoration to the Queen, from rock music to the #USA, this climax has it all!
73
And that’s all folks 🥕 thank you @ChrisTerrill for an excellent production. Thank you to all who watched and thank you to all who positively commented. We are proud to have shown you an insight into what the QNLZ is; next episode for us.... fast jet trials #westlant18
