A fantastic display from F Bty in Castle Park this morning!
A 42 gun salute in honour of the #platinumjubilee.
In his last act as BC, Maj Philpott led his Battery through the pageantry in front of thousands of spectators in the Essex sunshine. A superb job from start to finish!

7 Para RHA vs 1 RHA
RA Gunner Cup Semi Final
Colchester Garrison
Tue 31st May 2022
After a disappointing result in the Army Cup Quarter-Final, 7 Para RHA looked to push for some silverware this season with the Gunner Cup the only competition remaining.
With Key personal and players back from their recent work commitments, 7 Para RHA were blessed with having a full squad for this fixture and looked forward to the game. However 1 RHA did not make this easy work.
7 found themselves going into HT 4-1 Up.
After a crazy turn of events in the second half. 1 RHA pulled back the result to 4-4.
Full time 5-5
Extra time had both teams chasing the result but ultimately ended 6-6.
After a cracking game. 7 Para RHA won the game on penalties 5-4.

7 Para RHA are building on the @16airassaultbrigade strong relationship with the Jordanian Quick Reaction Force.
Earlier this year a team from 7 deployed to Jordan to conduct an artillery training package with Jordanian counterparts.
Live firing 105mm artillery and conducting Air Land Integration are all part of the Joint Fires that @7pararha bring to the British Army's only very high readiness brigade (@16airassaultbrigade).

A view from the OPs.
After a few photos from the Guns, this video made by one of G Bty FSTs, shows a little of what the view is like at the target end.
The mission was a Coord Illum (Coordinated Illumination), where illumination rounds are fired in order to adjust the mean point of impact of explosive rounds.
