It is with profound sadness that RAF Lossiemouth announces the passing of Corporal Aarran Campbell, a dedicated and highly respected member of the General Engineering Flight. Corporal Campbell’s untimely death has left a deep void within the Station and among all who had the privilege of serving alongside him. His passing is not only a loss to the Royal Air Force but also to the many friends, colleagues, and loved ones who knew him as a man of integrity, kindness, and unwavering commitment.

Corporal Campbell joined RAF Lossiemouth in 2016, quickly distinguishing himself as an exceptional airman whose technical expertise and attention to detail set him apart. Over the years, he earned a reputation for his professionalism, dependability, and strong work ethic, consistently going above and beyond to ensure the safety and readiness of his team and equipment. His contributions to the General Engineering Flight were invaluable, and his presence was a steady source of confidence and pride for his peers and superiors alike.

But beyond his technical skills, Corporal Campbell will be remembered most for his character and humanity. Known for his easy smile, quick wit, and genuine compassion, he had a remarkable ability to lift spirits and bring people together—even in the most challenging circumstances. His colleagues fondly recall his sense of humor, his humility, and his willingness to lend a hand to anyone in need.

“Corporal Campbell embodied the very best of what it means to serve,” said Group Captain Jim Lee, Station Commander at RAF Lossiemouth. “He was a consummate professional, a valued teammate, and a loyal friend. His loss will be deeply felt across the Station and the wider RAF family.”

Members of the General Engineering Flight have described Corporal Campbell as not just a colleague, but a brother-in-arms—a man whose dedication to the mission was matched only by his loyalty to his team. “He was the heart of our section,” one fellow engineer shared. “Always calm under pressure, always ready with a joke when things got tough, and always the first to make sure everyone else was okay. We’ve lost someone truly special.”

Throughout his years at RAF Lossiemouth, Corporal Campbell exemplified the core values of the Royal Air Force—Respect, Integrity, Service, and Excellence.
