Italian KC767 at Leuchars
Braved the snow and freezing cold at Leuchars to catch this only to find out that it had announced that it was diverting to Brize! though within five minutes he was on the way back up north again! Only managed a few shots from the car park but will hopefully pop over through the week to catch it again.

Thanks Dean, the snow has light up the underside nicely.

Hi Michael, rumor has it that it's in until Friday before it takes the 1sqn Tiffies to Malaysia. Don't take my word for it though!

Seriously? That's embarrassing!
Lovely shots!
Do you want the Aladeen news or the Aladeen news?

Yeah it is a bit embarrassing. Are the Voyager's still not up to speed with AAR?
Re: Italian KC767 at Leuchars
No, Voyager clearances are "imminent," but they were also "imminent" in January.
This is as bad as the Red Arrows being forced to use RNZAF/Swedish/French C-130s for support in recent years.

What a shambles! I wonder what would happen if the tabloids got wind of these shortfalls?

...adding of course that we need a Ukranian 124 to transport equipment

Forgot about that. Though heavy lift transport isn't really something the RAF has a lot of unlike tankers...
Re: Italian KC767 at Leuchars
Willing to forgive the An-124 because we know the C-17s are busy, as for the tankers...

Could it be the case that the VC10s and Tristars are no longer able to fly long distances so other air arms are being called in?

Helping the French in Mali i think. Still as long as we are helping out our French buddies who cares if we have to have the Italians to tank us there and back
