Royal Air Force Honington

Annual Formal Visit 🪖✈️

This week, RAF Honington, the home of RAF Force Protection, hosted the Annual Formal Visit by Air Officer Commanding No. 2 Group, Air Vice-Marshal Lyle.

The visit provided an opportunity to showcase RAF Honington’s people, capabilities and operational output, highlighting the wide range of activity delivered by the Station, Global Enablement Force Elements including the RAF Police Force and the RAF Regiment Force and Air Force Protection staff, in support of UK Defence operations at home and overseas.

Throughout the visit, personnel delivered a series of briefs and engagements, focused on the role played by everyone at RAF Honington in supporting operational readiness, Transition to Conflict and the delivery of Force Protection. The programme placed heavy focus on the RAF Regiment Force and RAF Police Force, allowing personnel to discuss ongoing activities, challenges and future priorities directly with senior leadership.

The visit concluded with a Whole Force Town Hall - a chance for Air Vice-Marshal Lyle to inform and take questions from RAF Honington personnel.

The RAF Honington PEd Flight recently hosted a badminton competition for Station personnel, and it was a smashing success! Great to see everyone getting involved and enjoying some friendly competition. Well played to all participants!
