Band Colour Sergeant Conducts His Way To Success

Royal Navy Volunteer Bands from various ships and establishments along with the Royal Naval Pipers Society travelled to Germany to take part in the annual Cologne Carnival. They were joined by local band the Domstadter who were the hosts for the week. The bands provided entertainment through various concerts, gigs and marches throughout the city. The Cologne Carnival takes place every year in Cologne, Germany. Traditionally, the carnival season is declared open at 11 minutes past 11 on the 11th of November. The Carnival spirit is then temporarily suspended during the Advent and Christmas period, and picks up again in the New Year. The street carnival, a week-long street festival, also called "the crazy days", takes place between the Thursday and ends on Ash Wednesday. The highlight of the carnival is Rose Monday, two days before Ash Wednesday. All through these days, Cologne folks go out in various types of fancy dress and enjoy traditional German food and drink, street parties and parades.

Swordfish flies in run-up to Battle of the Atlantic commemorations

A Fairey Swordfish Mk.I from the Torpedo Training Unit at Gosport drops a practice torpedo during training. [Imperial War Museum negative number MH 000023] Royal Navy aviators and veterans, including Jock Moffat, the Swordfish pilot whose torpedo crippled the Bismark in World War Two, gathered today at the Royal Aeronautical Society in London to launch the One Hundredth Anniversary of Naval Aviation.   The centenary year will be marked by a panoply of colourful events and activities throughout the UK.   The anniversary marks the Admiralty’s far-sighted and visionary decision on 7 May 1909 to order the first airship, HMS Airship 1, and embark on a development programme for military aviation. Consequently, when, five years later, World War One broke out, the Royal Navy was not only prepared but in the vanguard. It was the Royal Navy who carried out the first strategic bombing from the air, the first air to air kill, the first sinking of a ship using a torpedo from the air and the first use of aircraft in a sea battle.   The Fleet Air Arm, as these brave pioneers became known, went on to perform with valour and distinction including actions such as the Taranto Raid, the Channel Dash, involvement in the sinking of the Bismarck and more recently the Falklands Conflict, Gulf Wars and Afghanistan.  The Fleet Air Arm has won 4 VCs during its history, the first being awarded to Lt Warneford in 1915 for downing a German Airship.
