HMS Prince of Wales
Operating crewed and un-crewed air assets in the shape of the f35 and the Banshee from QinetiQ is another big step forward on our journey to joint carrier strike capability.

PoW
It’s been a fantastic couple of weeks preparing for operations with our colleagues and friends from 207 Sqn of RAF Marham. We say goodbye soon, but it won’t be long before we fly together again. BZ and Thanks very much!

A busy day ahead offloading 160+ from 207Sqn & FOST by Helicopter!
Always time for a presentation though!

Re: RN Aircraft Carriers: HMS Prince of Wales
My son was at Seaham Harbour this morning and sent me a photo of "HMS Dragon", when I looked at the photo it was of an aircraft carrier. When I checked the Marine Traffic shipping app it was showing as HMS Dragon but the photo displayed was that of HMS Queen Elizabeth, which is currently out East. Consequently, HMS Prince of Wales is currently off Seaham Harbour and doing 0.1 knot

Take it they mean IOW Festival.
PoW would be in the N.Sea to disembark the F35Bs to Marham.

Re: RN Aircraft Carriers: HMS Prince of Wales
She is reported to be disembarking FOST staff and other personnel ashore to RAF Leeming, around 160 personnel in all. My friend down that way reports plenty of Chinook and Merlin helicopters going to and fro.Pelican wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 5:21 pm Dragon - believe she left Pompey yesterday, see - https://www.facebook.com/roger.colman.5 ... 3917415085
