Bruce Dickinson swaps a 747 cockpit for something a bit different…

…as he joins the nation in thanking the military community for their service.

Wishing a happy #ArmedForcesDay to all the people who make our communities safer, stronger and more resilient.

An @easyJet pilot in a @royalairforce uniform? 👀

It's not everyday that easyJet's COO flies from @LDNLutonAirport wearing a military flight suit. ✈️

But today we're paying tribute to those who balance civilian careers with service to our country.
