    Let you into a little secret... the Spitfire had two cameras on board for today's flypast to celebrate Captain Tom Moore's 100th birthday. In a little while we will show you some of the footage... #CaptainTomMoore @RoyalAirForce @DefenceHQ

    Family, friends and colleagues said a final goodbye to Squadron Leader Mark Long this afternoon. His life and career were celebrated in a thoughtful and poignant service, which concluded with a ‘missing man’ flypast by pilots from 29 Squadron. Picture courtesy Charlotte Graham.

    It is with great sadness we announce the passing of John ‘Paddy’ Hemingway DFC – Last of ‘The Few’. We reflect not only on his sacrifices, but the sacrifices of all those who served & fought in WWII. Paddy, thank you for your service. Per Ardua ad Astra raf.mod.uk/news/articles/…
