The airfield at RNAS Culdrose welcomed a pair of visitors yesterday - two sleek RAF Phenom 100s. They called in on a navigation exercise for a chat and a refuel before heading back upcountry to Cranwell. The RAF operate these planes as a replacement for the King Air B200 for aircrew training. Its capability and digital cockpit bring the flying experience far closer to the front-line aircraft that students will progress to, such as the Airbus A400M Atlas. Always a pleasure. | Royal Naval Air Stat

If you've got your Christmas lights out this year and had to change a couple of bulbs, spare a thought for the team here at RNAS Culdrose. They have to get up early every morning - performing checks across the entire airfield to make sure everything is safe before flying can start. It also looks a bit Christmassy too. | Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose

What a difference a year makes! Today should have been the annual RNAS Culdrose Freedom of Helston Parade. Of course, it’s been cancelled this year to keep people safe because of coronavirus – but that doesn’t mean the strong bond between the air station and our home town is any less significant. To celebrate that link and to thank everyone in Helston, here we take a look back at last year’s parade, led by our very own HMS Seahawk Volunteer Band. | Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose

Take a view here from the edge of the runway today at RNAS Culdrose with a pair of our Hawk fast jets of 736 Naval Air Squadron, one heading out on a sortie followed by the second coming back. Four of the Hawks were out today, taking part in exercises across Devon and Cornwall. The jets play the role of hostile aircraft to test the defences and capabilities of Royal Navy and NATO ships as well as fighter controller’s abilities to manage the fast-moving battlespace. All essential training. | Roya
