RAF 60 Second Update

Come behind the scenes of the RAF’s Advanced Manufacturing Centre in our latest 60 Second Update, with 71 Inspection & Repair Squadron.

This week:

  • Take a look inside the home of 3D printing in the RAF, where engineers from 71 Inspection and Repair Squadron can design and produce aerospace parts, optimising how the squadron delivers rapid aircraft repairs.
  • Exercise Ramstein Flag, hosted by NATO and The Royal Netherlands Air Force, tests how we work with partner nations and improves our readiness to fly and fight.
  • Operation Chessman, the NATO Enhanced Air Policing mission in Poland, has begun. Air Policing preserves the security of NATO allies by maintaining a continuous presence of fighter aircraft 24/7 who are ready to react quickly to any threat.

Thanks for watching and see you next time!
