#RoyalNavy destroyer @hmsdiamond shot down a missile fired by the Iranian-backed Houthis from Yemen. The Type 45 used her world-class Sea Viper missile system to destroy the missile targeting a merchant vessel in the Gulf of Aden.

The cat o’nine tails was a whip used to administer corporal punishment to @RoyalNavy sailors. It was kept in a canvass bag and sailors never wanted to deal with ‘Letting the cat out of the bag’ You also needed clear room on deck to use it or ‘Enough room to swing a cat’

The oldest document in our Archive is of Portsmouth, drawn around 1620. Can you spot the river depths and inter-tidal areas? These are examples of early hydrography! The fleur-de-lis also marks where Henry VIII’s flagship the Mary Rose sank in 1545. #EYAThrowback #ArchivesWeek

Today is about remembering the fallen. #LestWeForget It also makes me think of the long tradition of bravery and dedication that runs through the RN and makes me proud to put this uniform on as an Reservist. Thankful for the support my #wife and @IBM give to make it happen.

A driver could have died yesterday. Incredible @RGrosjean could pull himself out of that. Superb work by the medical team and stewards, and a demonstration of how far safety has come in F1. If you can find Ross Brawn’s segment on the @SkySportsF1 race debrief, it’s worth a watch.
