Able Rate Thomas Jennings qualified as a naval airman and joined the navy’s Aircraft Handlers’ Branch. Naval airmen – men and women -work on the flight decks of warships and support ships to allow flying operations and are specially training in firefighting and rescue. A special ceremony was held at Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose in Cornwall before the national lockdown for the 19 sailors who completed the training course. He said: “My primary motivation in joining the Royal Navy was to seek a more varied and exciting career. I feel that the navy will allow me to see the world while also working to fulfil my potential and be part of a proud and respected organisation.
