Exercise A.R.S.E III Concludes

Image
  As the month of April drew to a close, so did exercise A.R.S.E III. In the last stages of the exercise we conducted ASW (Anti-Submarine Warfare) to locate and destroy 2 A.R.S.E Navy Submarines. As the simulated war drew to a close, UKAFv pilots took out the last remaining "targets" before restoring peace to the Isle of man. All pilots have now since returned to EGXC. Dave flying the P8 Poseidon.  There's 2 submarines out there...somewhere! Flying a 737-800 at 1000ft over the sea. From left to right - Dave, Dan and Myles Back on the ground at EGXE Very well done to Dave, Alfie and Myles who have all been awarded their exercise A.R.S.E III Award to recognise their contribution towards the exercise.   

VE Day London Flypast

Image
  On the 5th May, Dan, Dave, Alfie and Myles took to the skies for a formation flypast of London and Buckingham Palace. The flight went well thanks to the training and hard work of all pilot's involved, especially Myles as this was his first time. It's absolutely fantastic that we can all come together and celebrate  the 80th Anniversary of Victory in Europe in our own special way. The mall and Buckingham Palace a.k.a Bucky P
