Welcome to the Spring Edition of Insight Magazine. Hopefully everyone has enjoyed the recent Bank Holidays and has managed to take some time where possible out of their busy schedules over Easter. As ever this issue of Insight Magazine has a variety of articles from around Station. 51 Squadron feature prominently with the lay up of their old Squadron Standard and the consecration of the new, as well as an article covering the Chief of the Air Staff’s flight on the Rivet Joint. There are also articles from the RAF Waddington Running Club who continue to compete in events all over Lincolnshire and are consistently on the lookout for new members and the RAF Waddington Heritage Centre who are in the midst of developing a large art project for display which is due to be formally unveiled in August. The opportunity to get an early preview of this artwork can be arranged through the Heritage Centre who are always keen to accommodate both Section and family visits.

In this issue we celebrate and bring to life RAF Brize Norton's stories, successes, recent exercises and so much more; as you turn the pages, I am sure there will be something for everyone. The Station is gearing up for another busy year with the calendar filling up quickly as we continue training and supporting operations with unwavering dedication. I will endeavour over the coming months to bring you all the latest news from the RAF’s largest Station.

This edition of the magazine perfectly captures the balance that service life offers. As the Commanding Officer, my top priority is our people, and nothing gives me greater satisfaction than seeing them thrive, both professionally and personally. A fantastic example is AS1 Martin, who, alongside his role as a photographer, has released his first single on mainstream streaming platforms—a testament to his dedication and talent.
