Day 1 of Royal International Air Tattoo done. Lovely weather. Brilliant display by the The Black Cats and the team from 825 Naval Air Squadron have been great company. Looking forward to a slightly cooler day 2 and holding my undefeated Connect 4 champion status against the RAF 😂

Thats it for another year. Great to see 820 Naval Air Squadron, 815 Naval Air Squadron, 700x and 744NAS static displays and BZ (NavySpeak for well done) to The Black Cats for winning UK display of the show! Royal International Air Tattoo thank you, great show 👋

What a lovely humble human. Dick couldn’t believe such lengths were taken to mark his birthday. Anyone who spent time sweeping the Dover straits while the enemy took pot shots deserves the effort! Our greatest generation 👏💪🫡

Looking forward to working the Dartmouth Regatta as part of the Royal Navy engagement team. There’s already a hive of activity in the town. View from my accommodation is excellent with lots of parking space right outside my window. The room service however…… 🫣⚓️

A pleasure to join #Cardiff dignitaries and shipmates from the Merchant Navy community as they raised the ‘Red Duster’ to mark Merchant Navy day. Worth reflecting how many items around you, in your fridge, cupboards, wardrobes, sheds and garages came to the UK via the sea?

I am intensely saddened by the tragic loss of one of our Royal Navy personnel, following the incident in the English Channel last night. It is a huge shock to us all in the Naval Community, and our thoughts and condolences go out to the family at this time.

Please welcome my opposite number Johnny Morrish to X. Johnny has already hit the ground running and brought some great new ideas for how we can engage with the public, forces family, local government and our industry network. 👏

Great to hear first hand how valued the skillsets of RN service leavers are from organisations in attendance. Young folk joining today probably have no idea how an RN apprenticeship could be setting them up for a career in a rapidly growing sector Royal Navy Jobs #Maritime #Engineer
