Landing on for @DartmouthBRNC Open Day, celebrating 120 years of Royal Navy officer training. It was an honour to give future officers and visitors a peek at Merlin operations and show the role of 846 NAS in shaping Commando aviation 🚁 #BRNCOpenDay #WeAre846 #FleetAirArm

All eyes on the skies 🚁.Hades Warrior brings together the full force of UK rotary aviation in a complex joint training environment. We are proud to support alongside @845NAS & @847NAS as two of our senior QHIs are in the final stages of their QHTI journey, best of luck from all

Hardest targets at the farthest range!! .Ex MERLIN STORM provided an unmatched opportunity to fly and train alongside the elite 45 Cdo RM, honing our ability to deliver effects wherever needed #weare846 #RoyalMarines

Soaring through the lochs for Merlin Monday !! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 . Missing that cooler Scottish weather this week as it’s already a scorcher ☀️ .Have a great week everyone 😎 .#weare846 #merlinmonday

As the crowd gathered for a wings flypast, enemy forces stormed the event, picking a hostage from the crowd. Merlin helicopters were on the scene immediately, fast roping troops to the deck, and load lifting in support vehicles before safely winching in the hostage #weare846

Today, CDO5 received their wings in a ceremony that marks their formal entry into the Fleet Air Arm family, attended by VIP guest Admiral Sir Keith Blount @NATO. A proud moment for them and their families 🚁⚓️ #FleetAirArm #weare846

Merlin Monday and a flight over hallowed ground. A low-level pass honouring the legacy that captures the commando spirit: forged by land, sea, and air 🫡 #commandohelicopterforce #royalmarines #weare846

Smoke, noise, chaos. The downed aircraft scenario is a test of leadership, communication and composure under fire. Our students learn to break contact, establish defence, and hold fast until support arrives 💥 #weare846 #junglies

It’s all go as our CDO5 students hit their FHTs this week, marking the final stage of their long journey towards Wings 🚁.#weare846 #fleetairarm #royalnavy

Merlin Monday marks a turning point in the CDO5 journey. Taking command of real-time tasking across the Highlands with support from @845NAS aircrew, merging experience with ambition. Only two flights remain. Six months of training. It’s time to earn those wings. #MerlinMonday

With the final weeks in sight, CDO5 are now operating as pairs, tasking together to execute coordinated troop insertions and tactical landings across Scotland. Formation flying builds confidence, timing, and leadership under pressure. #RoyalNavy #weare846

A brief paddle, enjoying some well earned AT; the rest of the OCF are deep in the tactical environment. Navigating terrain, airspace, and pressure. Tasked across the Highlands from bothy to airbase 🚁 #weare846 #AdventurousTraining
