On Friday 26th July 2019, Air Chief Marshal Sir Stephen Hillier stepped down as Chief of the Air Staff, after three years in command of the Royal Air Force and a total of 39 years distinguished service.

In a ceremony before RAF College Hall, Air Chief Marshal Hillier handed the command of 35,000 Regular and Reserve personnel and 5000 Civil Servants, and responsibility for the safe and effective operation of the Service’s manned and unmanned aircraft, to Air Chief Marshal Mike Wigston.

Air Chief Marshal Wigston will build on the legacy of RAF100, transforming the Service, to deliver the Next Generation Air Force.

The ceremony, attended by over 400 guests, comprised a unique parade and the handover of the CAS Sword, which bears on its blade the name of the Chiefs of the Air Staff and the year they took office.

It's a pity more recent statements only seem to come out on Facebook. I'm interested in what he has to say, but not enough to join Facebook to hear it.

We had an amazing airforce, our own planes made by and in Britain. Now our industry is basically dead. Same as most industries. Please please rebuild it

"Transforming the way we operate...". Means doing more with less-- equipment and personnel.
And of course being "diverse and inclusive"-- can't forget we must be politically correct so nobody gets their little feelings hurt.

Should've kept with the BAE replica 5th generation fighter instead of the American f35 program.
