815 Naval Air Squadron

Great visit to @RNASYeovilton to witness first hand the impressive work of our Commando Helicopter and Wildcat Forces. From the High North to the Middle East - talented people delivering operational output, day in day out. #LeadFightWin

The carrier has its claws 🐆 From the flight deck of the mighty @HMSPWLS, Wildcat crews are back in their element - united with the carrier, and hunting at sea.

815 NAS on board HMS Prince of Wales. Assets that strengthen the ship's ability to respond swiftly and decisively to emerging threats.

This week visits from Commodore of Naval Aviation James Blackmore and the Fleet Commander Vice Admiral Steve Moorhouse. Meeting with personnel across the station to show that RNAS Yeovilton is at War Fighting Readiness 🫡⚓️🚁 #royalnavy #FleetAirArm

Personnel from @815NAS conducted rescue and firefighting training with the @Sjoforsvaret during Ex #TamberShield. The exercise runs under JEF, the UK-led coalition of Northern Europe nations which works in support of @NATO_MARCOM ops. @JEFnations 🔗royalnavy.mod.uk/news/2026/may/…

Hunter or hunted? Operating deep inside #Norway, Wildcat crews push people and machine to their limit during intense war games - honing the instincts needed for @RoyalNavy and #UKDefence operations across the globe. Watch more: m.youtube.com/watch?is=3xDR7…

Wildcat HMA2 of 825 NAS took to the sea over southern Brittany, teaming with 21F’s Atlantique 2 for high‑end maritime training. Two nations, one battlespace. Allied aircrews building the joint lethality that underpins NATO’s edge. ✈️🚁🚁 🇫🇷🇬🇧 @NATO_MARCOM @MarineNationale

Torpedo Thursday - in association with @815NAS. 🇬🇧 Dropping training torpedoes with precision - because deterrence starts long before the fight. ⚔️ Aircrew and engineers of 815 NAS are conducting weapon training alongside the Royal Norwegian Navy 🇳🇴, as a part of Exercise Tamber Shield 26. Royal Navy Wildcat helicopters are primarily used for conducting surface warfare against an array of threats using their Martlet and Sea Venom missile systems. However, they are also capable of carrying stingray torpedoes for the purpose of Anti-Submarine Warfare. This is a crucial skillset that must be maintained in order to protect Allied surface units. #WeAreNATO #StrongerTogether #DeterAndDefend @Forsvaret_no | @DefenceOps | @JEFnations | @RoyalNavy | @GenGJenkinsRM | @smrmoorhouse | @UKNATO | @NorwayNATO | @SHAPE_NATO | @NATO_AIRCOM

Great first day for 825 NAS operating from Lann Bihoue! Our student aircrew had their first experience of conducting war fighting serials in French waters... More to come! @MarineNationale 🇬🇧🇫🇷🚁✈️

Despite the heavy rain 🌧️ it's has been great to engage with all the public attending #LannBihoue2026. Particularly good to see / hear the Bundeswehr Panavia Tornado 🚁✈️🇩🇪

825 NAS has arrived in Brittany for the #LannBihoue2026 air show and joint training with Marine Nationale 21F Atlantique 2. Proud to strengthen our cross‑Channel partnership. 🇬🇧🇫🇷 🚁🚁

Today we mark Victory in Europe Day, honouring the courage and sacrifice of those who served at sea and beyond. The Royal Navy’s role in securing victory will never be forgotten. #VEDay

81 years on we pay tribute to the extraordinary generation that fought and died to liberate Europe from tyranny. Their sacrifice for our freedom continues to inspire all of us in service today. We will remember them – this #VEDay and always.

🇬🇧 🤝 🇧🇪 We teamed up with BNS Leopold I @Comd_F930_LEOP this week, undertaking high-end warfare training together with their #NH90 helicopter. Strong partnerships, sharp capability, and seamless interoperability at sea. #WeAreNATO #StrongerTogether

Dropping onto your fyp 🚁 Winching serials executed in Norwegian fjords on #TamberShield.

Two #815NAS Wildcat helicopters found themselves in the right place, right time to answer the distress call of a kite surfer in difficulty last week on the South Coast. Our crews rapidly found the surfer, marked his position and monitored his safety for handover to @HMCoastguard.
