Poseidon aircraft are capable of detecting, identifying, and tracking vessels both above, and beneath the waves.
They use a suite of sensors, cameras, and sonobuoys to monitor ships and submarines, feeding this intelligence to other units including the Royal Navy.

📢 A big shout out to our brilliant #TeamLossie visual communicators who were on the ground as The King was presented with the Honours of Scotland in Edinburgh yesterday.
They captured some truly historic moments. 📸
#TeamLossie Poseidon is assisting the search for a missing yacht and its captain following a request from HM Coastguard
Primarily a sub-hunting aircraft, the P8 has the sensors & equipment to search wide areas of ocean quickly in a secondary search and rescue role.
Thank you PA Consulting for hosting us today in London.
A brilliant vantage point from which to watch today’s King’s Birthday Flypast.
See you again next year ! 😁🙄
WOW! This view of London from the planes in King Charles birthday fly past!

The shape of things to come...
Crew of HMS Glasgow - the 1st of 8 new Type 26 frigates - visited Royal Air Force CXX Squadron to see P8 Poseidon aircraft... which they will be operating with in a few years' time to keep hostile submarines at bay.
Poseidon jets from RAF Lossiemouth are returning home after Exercise Dynamic Manta.
CXX Squadron honed their anti-submarine & anti-surface warfare skills alongside NATO allies during 2 weeks of training on, above and below the Mediterranean sea.

Quick stop at RAF Brize Norton today.
While a significant lack of submarine hunting to be had down here, it is nice to be round aircraft a little bit more our size! 👋👋👋
With the big day fast approaching, we hope a very merry Christmas is had by all!
Especially to the Crews, Eng and Ops support, on standby over the festive period ready to #SecureTheSeas at a moments notice.
