BZ to Lt Cdr Hattie! Instructor on 825 NAS and previous Black Cat… 8,000 total flying hrs—including 1,000 hrs on NVG alone!
A monumental feat spanning over 2,000 hrs each on Sea King, Lynx, and Wildcat helicopters. This is a very rare thing to achieve and shows exceptional service to the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm over many years! 🚁💪
