Gp Capt Neill Atkins

So important to mark the service and sacrifice off those of Bomber Command. They served to protect our freedom. The Men of the Dams installation pays tribute to those who failed to return.

Looking forward to seeing the Bbmf Lancaster this evening, commemorating a special anniversary.

From this week until 17 April 2023, aircraft from the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team are permitted to train over RAF Syerston. This is to enable two jets – known as the Synchro Pair – to carry out UK-based training, before the Red Arrows complete pre-season work-up overseas.

If you fly a #drone around #lincoln including <250g please see update for R313 (Restricted Area). Even though @RAFScampton is closed the area around Lincoln (see screen shot) is restricted Mon-Fri 0830-1700 (UTC) & check NOTAMS. @RAFWaddington now manage R313 for @rafredarrows

Very sad to learn of Johnny Johnson's passing, yesterday evening. The last surviving Dambuster, and a dear friend of @RAFScampton for many years. 👉 bbc.in/3HiqKYQ

@fts_2 Congratulations Mark. Very well deserved!

And a special mention to Sqn Ldr Mark Williams, our Sqn Ldr Ops and OC Standards, who received a hugely well-deserved Deputy Commander Operations' Commendation!

@PhilipJDye @rafredarrows Stunning shots, Phil!

A picturesque backdrop and amazing light for me to play with as the @rafredarrows arrived in Egypt for the final leg of this Middle East tour. #RedArrows #RedArrowsTour #photography #paintingwithlight #photooftheday #GabalShaiybElBanat

1. RAF Evolution: A Thread on Global Enablement. On Monday 28 November 22, the RAF Force Protection and RAF Support Forces will evolve to become the Global Enablement (GE) Organisation, an element of @RoyalAirForce 2 Group. What does this mean and why?

The Chaplain in Chief @RoyalAirForce The Ven Dr (AVM) Giles Legood was recently installed Canon @LincsCathedral in the prebendal stall of St Botolph. History dates to 1147 but recently Chaplains in Chief have become Canon reflecting the links @RoyalAirForce and @LincsCathedral

An especially poignant moment at @RAFScampton today, as personnel and guests gathered for the final Armistice Day act of remembrance ahead of the Station's closure. We will remember them.

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.

Typhoons from @12Sqn and @MOD_Qatar joined @rafredarrows in a flypast over Doha today. 12 Sqn is deployed to Qatar to support the formation of QEAF’s first Typhoon squadron and with air security operations for the @FIFAWorldCup 🇬🇧 / 🇶🇦 More: ow.ly/BSPF50LviyG

A massive congratulations to @ScamptonChurch, and especially to Revd Sue and Joe. Very well deserved!

@IntBCC Congratulations to the IBCC team. Very well deserved!

Proud of #TeamIBCC a great result from tonight’s #dlta22 event celebrating the best tourism businesses across the county. 2 awards to add to the trophy cabinet. Sustainable and ethical business & Large Visitor Attraction

A moment in history at @RAFScampton: more than 106 years after the original Royal Flying Corps station opened, we have seen the very last aircraft take-off. Proud to be home of the #RedArrows for almost 40 years and wishing them well at @RAFWaddington. 👉raf.mod.uk/display-teams/…

The #RedArrows have now permanently re-based to @RAFWaddington. The Team first moved to @RAFScampton in 1983, so one of the most significant chapters in our Station's story. It will be great to see them continue to train in the Lincolnshire skies! 👇 raf.mod.uk/display-teams/…

An honour to represent 🇬🇧 @DefenceHQ and @ukinnl at an Additional Remains Ceremony for Pilot Officer Joslin @RoyalAirForce at Idaarderadeel Wartena Cemetery 🇳🇱 His plane was hit by flak while nearing the Dutch coast on 5 Sep 1942. #WeWillRememberThem

We were recently honoured when @LincolnMayorUK hosted personnel to dinner in the historic Guildhall. @RAFScampton has always enjoyed extremely close bonds with the City of Lincoln, including Wing granted the Freedom of the City in 1993. A fantastic evening!

The RAF is proud of the trust Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II bestowed on the Royal Air Force. Her Majesty visited RAF stations, and met RAF personnel, on several occasions throughout her long reign, and she held Honorary positions within many RAF units.

The RAF is proud of the close relationship it enjoyed with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. As we mourn Her passing, we also reflect on her lifetime of service, dedication, & leadership, which leaves a long-lasting legacy across Her Armed Forces, the Nation, & the Commonwealth.
