Doing what we do best! Thanks for sorting us out.

We deliver. Working with the troops is what we do best!

Chinooks from RAF Odiham relocated to RAF Shawbury for a two-week exercise to practice operating from different locations.

This helps ensure that the heavy-lift helicopters are ready to fly and fight whenever and wherever required.

Is he a great photographer? Or does the Chinook just photograph well? 😉

Welcome to the main event… 😏

18 (Bomber) Squadron doing it’s thing during night Ops, captured before heading home… RAF Odiham

Over the past two weeks, 18 (Bomber) Squadron have been flying in support of Ex Pegasus Fury from RAF Shawbury

The exercise has seen three aircraft flying a number of different and varied sortie profiles, including trooping, low-level flying, mountain flying and threat evasion training.

What a great couple of weeks! Thanks for hosting us, RAF Shawbury. Great training for us, and great to show off the capabilities of the Chinook to students going though their flying courses now.

We can see why this was photo of the week!

Last week, we invited the 1st Odiham Rainbows and Brownies to visit RAF Odiham to have a look around a Chinook, learn how our helicopters fly, and about all the different jobs it takes to get just one helicopter in to the air.

Chinook helicopters will be at and about @RAFShawbury during the next two weeks, partaking in essential training for the front line. While we train high-quality helicopter crews and Air Operations personnel, we also support the ongoing training of front line units and squadrons.

Approaching the end of another busy week for the squadron. Bring on the next! Our engineers, aircrew, and ops staff have been working hard to prepare for the next couple of weeks of training at RAF Shawbury, enabling us to train new skills in new locations.

Earlier this week, we provided the flypast at the RAF College Cranwell for the graduation of 25 Officer Training Course. With ACM Sir Rich Knighton watching, not a time on target you want to miss!
