RAF WITTERING CAPABILITY DEMONSTRATION – TUESDAY 9 JUNE 2026
On 9 Jun the RLC Institution visited RAF Wittering for a Capability Demonstration. The visit was kindly hosted by Wing Commander Ian Stoneley, Support Force Chief of Staff and Deputy Commander at RAF Wittering. We were treated to a comprehensive insight into Support Force capabilities, which gave an overview of their role as a key unit, within Global Enablement and the Royal Air Force and it’s contribution to the wider Defence community. The visit showcased the Support Force’s operational capabilities, equipment, and the diverse functions it supports. We were briefed on the Force’s roles, capabilities and readiness and how they contribute to the Air environment and Defence as a whole.
The day concluded with a visit to the Heritage Centre and it’s main focus was on the history of the Harrier an iconic aircraft from bygone years of which they had 4 variants on display.
Overall this was an excellent visit and we are grateful to RAF Wittering for showcasing their Logistic capabilities against the backdrop of their very busy workload.
