We have hosted members of the local community, key stakeholders, and military associations at the RAF Brize Norton Enterprise Day.
The day saw elements from both the Air Wing and Air Base come together to demonstrate how the whole force at RAF Brize Norton works together, with the overall theme being, ‘how the enterprise fights from the Home Base’.
Guests from Oxfordshire County Council, Defence Equipment and Support, squadron associations and military charities were among those invited onto RAF Brize Norton, alongside other military organisations and contractors, for the opportunity to meet the personnel responsible for delivering operations, and find out more about how RAF Brize Norton contributes to national and global defence output every day.
Exhibitors from the Station were set up within a cordoned section of the airfield with visitors hosted by personnel taken in groups to meet various units and have the opportunity to tour some of the Air Mobility Force aircraft based at RAF Brize Norton, including an Atlas C Mk.1 (A400M) and Globemaster (C-17). Units which work closely with the aircraft were set up inside them, showcasing how they work hand-in-hand with the aircrew during missions.
Flight Lieutenant Laura Price, from Tactical Medical Wing, was exhibiting inside the Globemaster, she said:
“Tactical Medical Wing’s mission is to train, equip and deploy Royal Air Force Medical Service personnel as Force Elements in support of operations and exercises, and to provide quality worldwide Aeromedical Evacuation Service for Defence. Today we’ve set up some of our equipment to demonstrate to the visitors onboard the Globemaster how we work with the flying crew and our NHS partners for onward moves. It’s a fantastic opportunity to show how agile we are as a wing”

Wing Commander Andy Hampshire, Officer Commanding Operations Support Wing said:
“Royal Air Force Brize Norton works very closely with the local community, and Enterprise Day was an opportunity to showcase what we do, and give the community the chance to speak with our personnel to gain a better insight into the workings of the RAF’s largest station. Our people took great pride in engaging with the guests on the day, and we look forward to hosting them again in the near future.”
