#OTD in 1945, the Fleet Air Arm dealt a devastating blow to the Japanese Empire with the first of two carrier-launched strikes at oil refineries. Personnel on @820NAS – whose forebears took part – remembered the men of Palembang.

Last weekend, 820 joined forces with @HMSCattistock and HMS Tracker to go up against @HMSTriumph for the SMCC - better known as Perisher. Perisher’s final exercise pushes submarine commanders to their limits, fighting against the best Anti-Submarine helicopters in the world.
