Congratulations to SAC Lee who successfully passed the Pre-Parachute Selection Course. WO QCS welcomed him back after the arduous 3-week course. Lee’s self-drive and commitment to passing was evident across the squadron. Well done 💪🏼

In April, QCS received their Air Officer Commanding’s express permission to ceremonially represent the RAF at State and public events. This short video showcases the effort that QCS goes to in preparation for such tasks. #RAFNortholt #royalairforce #royalairforceregiment

A privilege to be able to pay our respects in this way.
In honour of @captaintommoore, weather permitting, a @RAFBBMF C-47 Dakota will perform a flypast over his funeral today. As per the family’s wishes, the public are reminded to continue to support the NHS by staying at home.
