Some great finds already at #bandofbrothers Op Nightingale dig at Aldbourne ran by Senior DIO Archeologist Richard Osgood ⛏️☀️

Was great to have Antony Cotton MBE visit our Op Nightingale #bandofbrothers dig in Aldbourne yesterday. The project ran by Senior Archeologist Richard Osgood has both UK and US serving personnel and veterans supporting 🇬🇧🇺🇸

Had an amazing 48 hours in Brize Norton, & Wiltshire. Today I joined both serving soldiers & veterans at an #OpNightingale archeological dig, led by the amazing @RichardHOsgood. It was an honour to join soldiers from the @usarmy - from both 101st Airborne Div. and @nationalguard.

This isn’t a hyperdrive engine from Star Wars, it’s a boiler firing up in one of the new facilities we’re providing for U.S. Air Force F-35s at RAF Lakenheath. Maybe F-35s could give the Millennium Falcon a run for its money on the Kessel Run? #StarWarsDay #MayTheFourthBeWithYou

🪩Rare black grouse are shaking their tailfeathers - literally - on the biggest dancefloor in Scotland as part of their mating dance. The firing range provides perfect conditions for the dance, known as the ‘lek’. gov.uk/government/new…

Today’s mission with Defence Infrastructure Organisation was to examine relics of D-Day on the MOD estate. The ‘Atlantic Wall’ on Hankley common built by the Canadians in 1943 and the DDay map at Southwick Park - with Juno beach. Their 1944 landing. #DDAY #heritage

Today is #ANZACDay - a time to commemorate Australians and New Zealanders who have served their country.

Great to see these new troop shelters up and running.
An essential part of the training infrastructure they provide soldiers with respite from inclement weather during training exercises and can also double up as classrooms. Versatile and effective 👍👇
