'Tis the season... Father Christmas took to the skies of #Cornwall to tactically assess the naughty/nice situation in preparation for #Christmas. School children across the county turned out and impressively redefined 'Enthusiastic Waving'. #FLYNAVY

42 years on, I remember the 16 souls lost on this day during the Penlee Life Boat disaster off the coast of Cornwall including the 8 on board the Union Star as it got into difficulty and the 8 hugely courageous RNLI crew on board the Solomon Browne life boat. RIP to you all ❤️

Back on board HMS Prince of Wales for #SteadfastDefender24. Straight into Air Defence. Straight into Anti-Submarine Exercises. It's going to be a busy one. We'll keep you as up to date as we can. Wait. Out. #FLYNAVY UK Carrier Strike Group RNAS Culdrose Royal Navy

DEFENSIVE AID SUITE Merlin has multiple systems to protect us from anti-air missiles, including IR Flares. They seduce the seeker head away from the helicopter and disguise our signature. Keeps us safe and looks rather nice too. #FLYNAVY #SteadfastDefender24

We were honoured to recently meet the family of Leading Aircrewman Ian Marchment (pictured) who lost his life #OnThisDay March 6, 1981, with four other 820 Naval Air Squadron aircrew in a mid-air collision. His son presented a trophy in his memory. Full story here falmouthpacket.co.uk/news/24158019.…

ACTION MERLIN, ACTION MERLIN The squadron have spent this week at Alert. Crews readied in all respects to fly and then waited for the pipe from the Ops Room to launch. Busy week. #FLYNAVY

M3M Having a .50 cal HMG makes the Merlin that extra bit more versatile. For example we can: Deliver warning shots. Act as overwatch for boarding parties. Destroy small craft threatening the TG. Whatever the job, it's not very pleasant to be on the receiving end. #FLYNAVY

You've hopefully seen our recent content involving Flares and Machine Guns. Well, none of that would have been possible without the skill and know-how of PO Andrew 'AJ' Kirwin. The CO used this term's clear lower deck to recognise his contribution to the squadron. #Engineering

A helicopter from Culdrose was called after the discovery of a possible WW2 grenade on a beach on the Isles of Scilly yesterday evening. A Merlin from #820NAS flew a Royal Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal team to St Martin's, who destroyed the object in a controlled explosion.
