A week ago today we returned to base port 🇬🇧
Whilst some have started to enjoy a well deserved rest, others have been busy with off-load and duties. Thank you @HMSQNLZ Ship’s Company for your continued hard work and commitment.

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…

Our predecessor took part in operations against Japanese bases in the Indian Ocean and in support of landing operations in #Burma - hence we hold the Burma Battle Honour.
Today, #VJDay75, we remember them & all those who fought on to Victory ✌

Glorious day, and more importantly; a nice clear deck ready for some sea time.
A busy programme awaits us, lots of flying, gunnery and embedding new Ships Coy before #CSG21.
Stay tuned for departure timings!

Have a good weekend everyone!
As most of the UK starts to wind down, we continue to load #F35 stores onboard, with the Commodore of the UK Carrier Strike Group's pennant flying.

That feeling when you get home late at night and someone’s in your parking spot! 😂
Don’t worry @HMSDefender, we think it’s the best berth @HMNBPortsmouth too!

It is most definitely British weather out there so we must nearly be home. 💨☂️🌊
Today we disembark our resident flight, 820 NAS and the one that has furthered our capability during #Westlant18 with #CommandoMerlin
845 NAS
Safe home to @RNASCuldrose @RNASYeovilton

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.
