Huge well done to Engineering Support Flight for taking on the coast to coast walk along Hadrian's Wall. Starting in Tynemouth & finishing in Bowness-in-Solway, the team covered 90 Miles. Lots of teamwork, laughs and ALL the blisters. We've seen the photos to prove it! 🥾🤢🙌

We’re back! With a final FOD plod to ensure our shiny new runway was clear of debris, we were delighted to welcome everyone home. 🤗✈️🛩️

It's nearly finished!! Station Commander, Group Captain Paul Hamilton was given a tour of the plant and facilities supporting current runway works by contractor VolkerFitzpatrick.

We'll let you know when we're airborne again - if you don't hear us first! 😜🛫

Thanks to @flamingunicornsrugby for taking time to share some laughs, some mud, and to talk about the big stuff. Awesome, uplifting day. 🏉💪🥰 #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #itsokaynottobeokay #itsokaytonotbeokay #toughenoughtocare facebook.com/share/v/ieftRt…

On this day in 1918, Lord Trenchard announced the formation of the world’s first independent air force. ✈️

Today, 106 years later, the dedication, professionalism, and innovation that we were founded upon remains the same as we continue to fly and fight.

RAFeXperimental (RAFX) has gone international, joining Stn Cdr, Gp Capt Paul Hamilton & academics from Newcastle University to visit Merignac and Cazaux Air Bases of Armée de l'Air et de l'Espace The visit cemented a new partnership to share ideas and pursue innovation.

I know we said all movement had stopped but it’s still pretty busy out there! Can’t wait to see aircraft on our new runway! 😆

Congratulations to FS Lizzy Crebbin, selected by Gp Capt Paul Hamilton to be RAF Leeming Station Commander’s Cadet. She will accompany him to activities & ceremonies including formal receptions, parades & welcoming visitors. Well done Lizzy! We look forward to meeting you. 🙌👏🥳

Au revoir but not goodbye to the jets of 11 Sqn QEAF, who have departed up north while work continues on our brand new shiny runway. It's going to be a bit quiet around here for the next few weeks😢 but never fear, aircraft WILL be back for the summer 🥳

We’re delighted to celebrate #IWD2024 , with particular 👏👏 for Leeming gals; the drivers, mechanics, gunners, HR & IT specialists - service, civilian & contractors. Volunteers who save lives, and who run community wellness projects. We 🫡 🥰🥳 you! 🧕🦹‍♀️🙋‍♀️💁‍♀️💃🏋🏻‍♀️🏃‍♀️🧘👩‍🏭

In absolute awe of our RAF Mountain Rescue Service whose actions alongside civilian crews undoubtedly saved the life of an 18 year old walker who fell on Scafell. Semi-submerged in water, severely hypothermic, and with a suspected broken leg, he was in urgent need of evacuation. Heroes. Every. Day.

Exercise Snow Hawk is an incredible opportunity for novice skiers to hit the slopes and gain a qualification - all in work time, and for a significantly subsidised fee. Sounds like a pretty good deal to us! #skiing #skiing isbelieving ⛷️🚡🎿☃️
