'Still got it' - RAdm Rimington visited 825 NAS this week, taking the Wildcat HMA2 controls and showing his former Lynx‑instructor proficiency remains intact. He also received an update on Martlet missile engagement profiles, reinforcing his strong operational understanding. 🚁

Said a quick Hi to Burghclere Primary School this week. A brilliant chance to see the aircraft in action and feel the excitement of #NavalAviation firsthand. Precision flying in small spaces is part of what we do and if it sparks curiosity in future generations, all the better.

Maintaining a close watch. Sustained operational demand for #815NAS with our Wildcat attack helicopter working alongside @hms_mersey to shadow Russian activity in UK waters. Outstanding professionalism and coordination from our surface fleet partners - BZ HMS Mersey.

The deployment of #815NAS Wildcat attack helicopters demonstrates our ability to respond rapidly to emerging threats and protect UK interests wherever they arise. Our people train constantly for exactly this kind of mission, and it’s a privilege to see their professionalism and combat readiness delivering protection of Cyprus. @RAFAkrotiri @RoyalAirForce @AirMobilityRAF

Primed and ready. Wildcat has a lean footprint of only 10 personnel to operate, but offers a huge impact with up to 20 laser beam-riding missiles. @RoyalNavy Wildcat with AESA radar can hunt and destroy UAS from ship or shore, bringing flexibility and a rapid lethal response anywhere in the world at very short notice. #FleetAirArm #Wildcat #StrikeDeep

Exercise Wildfire ‘25 continued to prove Martlet’s lethality against air and surface uncrewed systems. Armed with up to 20 cost-effective missiles, and able to rearm with rotors running in minutes, Wildcat is a perfect tool for drone hunting in a fast-changing environment.

🔥 In the skies over the Med, a Royal Navy Wildcat fired Martlet missiles during Exercise Wildfire, striking fast uncrewed targets alongside French forces. 🎥 Lt Cdr Edwards explains why it mattered ⤵️

As the situation in the Middle East remains volatile, we are deploying our Type-45 Destroyer, HMS Dragon, to the Eastern Mediterranean. We are also sending two Wildcat helicopters to Cyprus to bolster drone defence for our Cypriot partners. Working alongside our allies, our Armed Forces are committed to protecting regional stability and keeping people safe.

Proud of our sister squadron and several personnel to have recently qualified on 825NAS! 🥳
815 Naval Air Squadron@815NAS

Several of our aircrew and engineers from Operation HIGHMAST were invited to @10DowningStreet for a personal thanks from the Prime Minister. A well-deserved recognition for their professionalism, resilience and outstanding contribution throughout the premier deployment of 2025. #815NAS deployed in @HMSPWLS, @HMSDauntless and @Forsvaret_no HNoMS Roald Amundsen on an intensive eight-month operation across the globe. Our Wildcat helicopters proved their worth as a credible maritime strike platform, built around the precision and punch of our Martlet and Sea Venom missiles. #BravoZulu #FleetAirArm #NavalAviation #ProudToServe @COMUKCSG @DefenceOps @DefenceES @UKDefJournal @LukePollard @AlistairCarns

825 NAS taking full advantage of a change of base this week — St Athan delivering fresh challenges for aircrew & engineers. Low‑level nav through the Welsh mountains pushing precision and aircraft handling in some of the UK’s toughest terrain. Nihil Obstat — Dim yn Rhwystr 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

825 Naval Air Squadron remembers the courage shown on 12 Feb 1942 during the Channel Dash. Led by Lt Cdr Eugene Esmonde VC, our Swordfish crews pressed home their attack against overwhelming odds. Their actions remain a defining chapter in our Squadron’s history. #ChannelDash
