Excited to be jumping into Bootfest at Solent Airport on Sat 5th September! This is a great event in support of @CombatStress looking after Armed Forces veterans. @OpsDaedalus #RoyalNavy

The jump is only half of the story… The other half is the unique ability the team has to engage with the public about our day-to-day @RoyalNavy roles when not displaying. We always talk to spectators when we land, and the Team Commander is often in front of the camera/mic!

The Team Leader’s role also involves promoting #RoyalNavy roles to domestic audiences as well as promoting sport skydiving in the UK. Plenty of ways for Serving Personnel to get involved in skydiving..! #NavyFit
We caught up with Commander Dave Lee, Team Commander for the Royal Navy Raiders Parachute Display Team, to talk about performing at HMS Collingwood last weekend. 💪

Some moments stay with you.
The sight of the White Ensign and our nation’s colours flying above HMS Collingwood was certainly one of them.
From canopy to touchdown, @RNParaDisplay delivered a breathtaking display of precision, skill and pride.
A real privilege to witness.
