Still getting nowhere with @British_Airways despite DMs, calls, and formal complaint. Ticket still suspended after resolved PayPal dispute, no clear contact or timeframe, and confusion over return flights. We fly in 43 days, this needs proper attention now please #CustomerService

Roe Green CC are delighted to share that all-rounder, Luke Williams, has signed for his 8th season at the club. Regularly delivering with bat and ball, Luke’s contributions have proved vital to our title winning season and we can’t wait to see him back in action in 2024 💚

That feeling when you get home late at night and someone’s in your parking spot! 😂 Don’t worry @HMSDefender, we think it’s the best berth @HMNBPortsmouth too!

Only 24hrs back at sea and all those involved in aviation are back in action 💥 Merlins 🚁 from @846NAS have landed on and will work with @HMSQNLZ to maintain aviation currency. @FAA_RN @RoyalNavy

As we approach the final days of #CSG21 deployment. It’s time to reflect on what has been achieved in the UK’s largest, most complex maritime deployment in a generation. Here are some of the highlights of our journey east. @RoyalNavy @RoyalAirForce @USMC @NATO @SenNatRepQNLZ

🇬🇧 aircraft carrier @HMSQNLZ will be visiting 🇸🇬 soon. Did you know? Certain spots on the flight deck are preferred for the F-35Bs to land vertically & the ship’s bridge has windows which are 2m tall to ensure high visibility. @RoyalNavy @smrmoorhouse #CSG21

Another momentous weekend! #CSG21 conducted quad carrier operations in the Philippine Sea with @HMSQNLZ , USS Carl Vinson, USS Ronald Reagan & JS ISE undertaking combined exercises. Half a million tons of sea power projection from 6 nations with an equally impressive air wing.

Alongside in Guam for a few days. A Pacific island surrounded by a big sea and an even bigger sky. Haven’t been many runs ashore on this deployment so this respite is very welcome. Still 3 months to home. Living the dream though! @HMSQNLZ @RoyalNavy

After over a 120 days at sea, units from #CSG21 are now alongside for a period of mid deployment maintenance to bolster our sustainability and resilience ahead of the next phase of the deployment. Sustaining a Strike Group at range is a team effort.@HMSQNLZ

After weeks at sea conducting flying operations with Allies from the Mediterranean to the South China Sea, HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH looks like she is rather enjoying her stop in Guam with our US Ally. And a very well earned rest for her crew - enjoy the run ashore.

The Carrier Strike Group has passed through the Luzon Strait and entered the Philippine Sea.   This is a significant moment for #CSG21.   Having begun our deployment in the Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean, we have now travelled 10,000 miles to the Western Pacific.
