With #StormCiarán arriving, if you live in an area liable to flooding, ensure you’ve stocked up on sandbags, or equivalent, from your local builders' merchant. Alternatively contact your local town/parish council, if they hold sandbags for community use orlo.uk/lQrCc

Excl: UK Sea King helicopter on patrol in Ukraine. So old it played historic role in Falklands conflict. Even flown by Prince Andrew. But Ukraine pilots praise chopper as useful, reliable & easy to fly.
Three wheeled landing by Army Wildcat on a former ROTOR radar site building at what was RAF Portland, now Fancy's Farm.
From the coast of Dorset to the battlefields of Ukraine!
Long live the King!
Sea King from the UK has arrived in its new kingdom near the Black Sea in Ukraine!
It is a strong reinforcement for the Ukrainian Navy. Our cooperation will continue to increase.
Thank you to @BWallaceMP
Together, we will secure the seas and lands across all of Europe!

#Ukraine: Crazy first-person footage of a Russian pilot ejecting from a Su-25SM (09 Red) which was hit by Ukrainian fire.
The incident apparently happened back in the Summer but the loss of the aircraft wasn't documented previously.
