2/2 Among them, was Lt Fisher, the first Royal Navy female to earn the Green Beret by completing the All Arms Commando Course, inspiring all who served alongside her. Our condolences are with the families, friends, and loved ones of all affected during this difficult time.

1/2 Our thoughts are with the families, friends, and comrades of Lt Cdr Chris Gayson, Lt Lily-Mae Fisher and PO Owen Green, who died when their helicopter crashed in Devon. Cherished members of the Commando Helicopter Force, all three will never be forgotten.
