Commando Helicopter Force at RNAS Yeovilton welcomed former Royal Marines on their tour of every Royal Marines unit in Britain as part of their effort to halt the number of deaths by suicide among their comrades.

This year has seen a tragic rise in the number of former or serving Royal Marines taking their own lives; 2024 also saw a rise in the number of suicides within the corps.

The ‘Brotherhood Ride’, began at Commando Training Centre Royal Marines (CTCRM), Lympstone, Devon, on Sunday, 14 September, and saw former Royal Marines Aldo Kane - TV adventurer and lead of Apple TV+ 2025 The Wild Ones documentary series - and Paul White taking it in turns to ride a custom Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 motorcycle to every Royal Marines unit.

Members of the Royal Marines Association Motorcycle Branch (AKA ‘Bootnecks and Bikes’) accompanied them to their first stop in Plymouth.
