A @99Sqn C-17 from @RAFBrizeNorton landed at @spacecornwall night, carrying @VirginOrbitโs โLauncherOneโ rocket.

Did you know that the Union Flags๐ฌ๐ง on the starboard side of our aircraft are back to front?
This is intentional, and is actually an international standard. We get asked about this a lot, so hereโs a quick run-through as to how it works ๐

Privilege to sign the Armed Forces Covenant with @ChiefofAirStaff. So fitting as RAFC Cranwell was where I saw Jon graduate in 2001 and where @JonEggingTrust delivered our first Blue Skies programmes in 2012. Brilliant to celebrate our unique partnership with @RoyalAirForce there
Yesterday we were proud to join @ChiefofAirStaff, JET Patron @HarvSmyth, JET graduate Josh Dale and corporate partner @NorthropGrumman for our signing of the #ArmedForcesCovenant at #RAFCollegeCranwell.

Our Team visited @BDACatOldSarum at Old Sarum Airfield to receive a tour of the first Hawk prototype aircraft, XX154.
Hawk, manufactured since 1974, is a great inspiration for us as we develop our #AERALIS modular #jet to deliver the Future of Airforce Fleets.
