HMS MONTROSE@HMSMontrose·13 Jul


We recently conducted an exchange with US P8 patrol aircraft which we regularly operate with in the Middle East.

We hosted the P8 air & ground crew onboard before our team joined them for a tour of the aircraft. Such exchanges help improve mutual understanding of operations🇺🇸🇬🇧
