We are back at sea training hard to make us ready for future operations. Yesterday saw us conduct a Crash on Deck exercise (CODEX), practising our firefighting and medical skills. #PWLSatSea

Not only have they been able to find their sea legs onboard @HMSQNLZ - but our trainees have been sharing the deck with #F35 ⚡️jets. This is exactly how it will be in the future when they deploy on #CarrierStrike operations with the frontline squadrons that they’ll soon join.

✅ Night flying too. Alongside the #F35 crews, our trainee 🚁 aircrew have been honing their night flying skills on HMS Queen Elizabeth too. The team from #824NAS has made huge leaps during their time onboard, putting all that they’ve learnt back at Culdrose into practice.

The Royal Navy is scrapping multiple Admiral posts and culling up to 1000 people from its HQ in Portsmouth. Why is it doing this, what are the opportunities and why is HQ transformation probably the most important challenge facing the RN today? bit.ly/391MdkA

How was your weekend? We spend it stretching our sea legs and getting back down to business, day and night flying with 824NAS concurrent with exercising our emergency response teams and lots more! Think we are about ready for some fast jet action, what do you say @OC207Sqn?

Whilst one storm has passed, there is another brewing. Get strapped back in as the time is nearing for the #UKF35 and us to work together in UK waters for the first time. @OC207Sqn will be joining to carry out training in rather colder and harsher waters than the Florida coast!
