Spring and summer are also a time when we look outward, strengthening links with our local community and welcoming opportunities to represent the RAF beyond the station gates. Whether through public engagement as we showcase in this edition, the recent RAF Falcons Launch Day, education visits or supporting local events, Brize continues to demonstrate professionalism, pride and approachability in all that it does. As ever, this magazine would not be possible without your continued support and contributions. Your stories bring the station to life and ensure 51 Degrees North remains a true reflection of the people who serve and support here. Please keep sharing your news, no achievement is too small, and every contribution matters.

Aries looks to showcase the Whole Force and what makes RAF Shawbury tick and such a great place to be.

Welcome to the Summer 2026 issue of Easy Resettlement Magazine... For any new readers taking a first look at our magazine, you will be pleased to read that Easy Resettlement magazine is produced on a quarterly basis. All of the companies we regularly feature see the value in employing service leavers and veterans, with many of them having already signed the armed forces covenant and being holders of the coveted Employer Recognition scheme awards.
