I'm not sure that follows the Government direction to minimise non-essential journeys. You can't just take them out for a drive!

Sadness at the end of an area but enormous pride at the lives that 5131(BD)Sqn has saved and its support to air ops over many decades. The bravery and skills of these men and women represent the very best of @RoyalAirForce. The baton now passes to our @BritishArmy colleagues.
RAF Wittering@RAF_Wittering31 Mar 2020
No 5131 Bomb Disposal Squadron stands down. Their history includes almost every conflict since WWII, the fallen of 5131 (BD) Sqn are foremost in our minds. Our heartfelt thanks go to these remarkable men and women, past & present, for their service and sacrifice.

Big milestone today! Our engineers will be maintaining Poseidon in the years ahead but have also led work to certify the type for UK service and to integrate its advanced capabilities. #NoOrdinaryJob @Chf_Eng_Air @DefenceEng @DefenceES

From fixing aircraft to fixing cars! RAF personnel recently visited the Autosport International Show to showcase their engineering skills by turning an everyday car into a race car. Find out more: bit.ly/RAFGetInspired

Congrats to all. A big step in the next stage of your careers. @RoyalAirForce engineer officers are either graduate direct entrants or technicians who undertake extensive academic and military training on their way to a commission. #NoOrdinaryJob
RAF Cosford@RAF_Cosford14 Dec 2019
Congratulations to the two courses of Basic Entrants Scheme students who graduated from RAF Cosford this week. We wish them every success on Initial Officer Training at RAF Cranwell starting in January and look forward to their return to complete specialist training later in 2020

Before a Typhoon is able to take off from RAF Lossiemouth, a huge number of people are involved in the planning and preparation of each sortie... #ThankYouThursday is dedicated to all of them. Together, we are #TeamLossie: delivering QRA, maritime patrol, and global Ops.

A sober reminder of why we have strict standards for managing explosives safety. Also highlights the importance of organizational learning.

RAF FAULD DISASTER OTDH At 11:11 am on Monday, 27 November 1944 an explosion destroyed a large part of the site and killed about 70 people. Many of our regulations mil & civ were born of tragic disasters like this one. #lestweforget #harmfulharmless

Our collective strength as engineers and across the @RoyalAirForce comes from diversity of experience, gender, sexual orientation etc, not just our technical skills. Superb to see Owain sharing his story.
