Air Engineering Technician Aaron Moment, who is part of the detachment from RNAS Yeovilton's 845 Naval Air Squadron on board, said: '˜This will be my second time in New York but I am really excited to be going back with my squadron as part of HMS Queen Elizabeth.

'˜We're all planning on seeing the sights, taking a trip to Times Square and paying respects at the 9/11 memorial.

'˜The last few weeks at sea have been challenging but I have loved every minute of it.

'˜We have all put in a lot of hard work and performed really well. Seeing the F-35 Lightning jets landing on board for the first time was a real highlight too.'
