@doctorwibble Back at you- always welcome at Odiham

nurses, HCAs, the RM Band Service, the admin teams, clvil servants and all those who support what the medical folk do. To those I’ve served with: thank you. Don’t be strangers 8/8

It’s time to hang up the uniform after nearly 32 years; today is my last day in the Royal Navy. I joined the Royal Navy to see the world and I’ve certainly done that 1/

@chinnychick @RAF_Odiham Was great to see you! X

Headed ‘home’ tonight to @RAF_Odiham to help celebrate their 💯 year centenary!!! 🙌🫡🥳

UK Defence is investing in agile tech to stay ahead. First Person View (FPV) drones can jam targets, scout terrain, and strike targets — all in one flight. A trial deploying FPVs from an RAF Chinook helicopter called Hornets Nest was recently completed.
