Waste not, want not. Following removal of redundant transformers from the HV ring at RAF Leuchars, 528 STRE have brought these and some surplus LV switchgear back to Chilwell. Part of the planned overhead line training area, greatly increasing our opportunities to train in camp.

It took a while to get the photos, but still worth saying how privileged it felt to take part in St Mary's Island CofE School's service of remembrance. So many knowledgeable children and some very thoughtful questions.

Just one aspect of the important and widespread @DefenceHQ work conducted in the #Caribbean region in support of the @British_OTs and our wider partners. BZ to all those involved! @BritishArmy @UKinCaribbean @UKinMontserrat

Another #ExPP22 task that that requires a specialist from another team, this time SSgt C from 530 STRE (Mats). Seen here inspecting the Aircraft Operating Surface (runway), checking it's construction and assessing the stated rating. 🛫👷 #HADR #Global @Proud_Sappers @DefenceEng

Following on from last week's training, Pte M-B of @3MedRegt takes #ExPP22 and the Royal #Montserrat Defence Force through some revision and then multiple casualty situations. Great to see everybody applying what they learnt last week. #HADR @102LOGX @AMSTC1 @Army_AIB @8EngrBde

Our activity on #ExPP22 has been facilitated by the friendly cooperation of everybody we have had the pleasure of working with. Those such as Jordan, a senior linesman from #Montserrat Utilities Limited (MUL), have dedicated their time to helping us complete our tasks.⚡️👍

With the last round of #ExPP22 task orders issued last week, the exercise is sadly drawing to a close. Here, SSgt G of @516STRE takes on #Montserrat's sewerage system. Many thanks to the Montserrat Utilities Limited engineers for taking the time to show us around. @DefenceEng

#ExPP22 on #Montserrat has provided a great opportunity to do some joint medical training 🚑 with the Royal Montserrat Defence Force. Here, Pte M-B of @3MedRegt (our Combat Medical Technician 👨‍⚕️) takes us though dealing with casualties. #HADR @102LOGX @AMSTC1 @Army_AIB @8EngrBde

#ExPP22 has been taking an #innovative look at #HADR operations. On #Montserrat, Spr Haslam demonstrates the fantastic work the team has done with VR to the OC 🧑‍💻, expanding on what @UKArmyLogistics demonstrated at the @1UKDivision Light Forces Expo. @8EngrBde @Proud_Sappers

Fantastic for #ExPP22 to be getting a mention across the wider Caribbean. Great also to see so much other activity here. But being over 1/2 way through out time on #Montserrat, the sad realisation that we will soon be heading back to the UK has dawned on us. 🛫🇬🇧🙁 @UKinCaribbean
With @HMS_Medway providing persistent presence, @HMSScottRN passing through, @ColdstreamGds & @JDFSoldier exercising, & @Proud_Sappers in #Montserrat - it’s a busy start to a new year of cooperation with our many #CaribbeanDefence partners! @UKinCaribbean @RoyalNavy @BritishArmy

Farewell to 4 members of #ExPP22, returning to the UK for other commitments. Thanks to all, but particularly to those from 504 STRE (Power Infra), your specialist knowledge has yet again proved how valuable Army Reserves are. 👍 @CorpsColRes_RE @65_group @170_Engineers @8EngrBde

This week saw #ExPP22 start on the task of creating a concept design for the Royal Montserrat Defence Force HQ. Currently collocated with the Disaster Management Coordination Agency, this location will be beneficial to both their training and operations.🏘️🏗️👷 @8EngrBde @Army_AIB

It's Sunday! For #ExPP22 that means another visit to our friends (on 4 legs and 2) at the Montserrat Animal Protection Society. #lifewithdogs (Pictures from Vibeke)

A great day (other than the sudden tropical shower) to watch this parade and join #Montserrat in celebrating the 70th Anniversary of its Democratic Parliament 🇲🇸. Here, @UKinMontserrat can be seen inspecting our colleagues in the Royal Montserrat Defence Force. #ExPP22 @Army_AIB
Replying to @UKinMontserrat
H.E the Governor said: "Warm Congratulations to Montserrat on the 70th anniversary; a long journey in which Montserrat has shown commendable resilience, principle and commitment; parliaments are still key to democracy, fairness and equality."

Today Feb 20th is the 70th Anniversary of Democratic Parliament on Montserrat. The Office of the Legislature hosted a ceremony at Little Bay Park to mark the occasion.

Saturday saw the conclusion of #ExPP22's activity for the week on #Montserrat. Here, the 👷⚡️ team mapping the HV (and critical LV) distribution network can be seen working alongside a 🇲🇸 Montserrat Utilities Limited (MUL) engineer. #HADR #Global @UKinMontserrat @DefenceEng
It was a pleasure to host the Royal Engineers at Royal Palm last week Friday! @528STRE is currently on #Montserrat 🇲🇸 working with local partners to support resilience of our utilities. #HADR. Here are a few photos from the reception

#ExPP22 were privileged last Friday to be invited to a reception at H.E. The Governor's residence. A great night which facilitated the meeting of key stakeholders from across #Montserrat and will set us up well for the tasks ahead. @UKinMontserrat @66WorksGroup_RE @8EngrBde

An #ExPP22 task focused on overhead lines is mapping the island's electrical network using a variety of different methods. In #HADR, these would be used to rapidly report and collate the condition of damaged infrastructure and prioritise repair. 👷‍♂️⚡ #Global @8EngrBde @DefenceEng
