Careers Day @vafkingsthorpecollege Super proud of my cousin @sharan_bhamra__x who’s the Head Teacher at Kingsthorpe College, Northampton! So much genuine respect for her from the other teachers and students. Best keep my shirt tucked in before she tells me off! 😇@RoyalAirForce

This is amazing news and I honestly never thought I’d see a non-pilot become the Chief of the Air Staff (head of the RAF), let alone Chief of the Defence Staff (the head of the Army, Navy and RAF)!!! . Super proud to be serving and to be an RAF Engineer! 🫡 @RoyalAirForce

Fab evening @uniofherts ! This is the first awardee dinner & amazing opportunity to meet & network with so many esteemed people. Fab talk by Prof Jim Geach showing how astronomy techniques were now being used to measure blades of grass from satellites 700km above the earth!

Marking the 80th Anniversary of VE Day, the @SikhMilitaryFdn reminds us of the Sikh soldiers who stood bravely among the ranks that made victory in Europe possible-a powerful reminder of the diversity that shaped the freedoms we enjoy today🙏🏽.#VE80 #proudtoserve @RoyalAirForce

Have to mention Irene from today’s Vaisakhi event - this amazing lady spent 16 months in India and lived 6 of those with a Sikh family in Amritsar - there in 1966 she was given a Kara (on of the sacred 5 Ks) and she had kept it on ever since! #respect.@vaisakhildn @DefenceSikhNW

Great to kick off this years Vaisakhi celebrations @Gurdwara Sahib Leicester! So encouraging to speak to so many young Sikh Air Cadets and so many others interested in joining or just taking an interest in what we do. Reflex/coordination game was a sure fire hit with everyone!
