What a day for #TeamLossie!
Our new runway has already been tested by a wide range of visiting aircraft but today saw our first Voyager touch down.
The transport / tanker arrived this afternoon, signalling the start of more efficient transport for personnel deploying on ops.

UK & Oman relationship goes back centuries. Our first agreement with Oman was signed in 1646 so truly a historic moment to sign today’s agreement. A key partner on shared goals of peace in Yemen & a non-nuclear Iran
Super excited to be driving the beautiful VC10 up and down the runway at Bruntingthorpe again this weekend, for the Cold War Jets Day! Here’s hoping the weather is better than last time. @BruntyCWJ@Brunting_Thorpe @jetjunkieslive @AvgeeksAero@ZD241_VC10#VC10@BritishJets
Three seats have become available for our run at Bruntingthorpe next Sunday.
One near the front.
A pair in the middle (with legroom - a low fare airline would charge double).
£55 each. Please get in touch if interested. The pair can be sold as singles.🙂
Wing Commander Gareth Burdett talks to us about a recent C-130J tactical training sortie. The @RoyalAirForce C-130 aircraft have always been, throughout their history, heavily committed to operations. #RAFBrizeNorton#c130#c130j
@TheBadgerWarren @exMerlinboss If it became the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, then, by definition, that's wrong. Otherwise I think it's debatable.
@TheBadgerWarren @exMerlinboss Is it ok if I throw apple cores and banana skins deep into the heather while hiking? I've always wanted to know, and this fascinating thread must be the right place to ask ;-)
@HCSCShrivenham FWIW, the RAND paper at the link below is pretty good (and brief) when it comes to considering cross-domain coercion against a near peer. Also, on the nuclear side, Kroenig recently published a book on his brinkmanship theory (ISBN 9780190849184).

As Exercise #RedFlag continues until the end of this week, an RAF Voyager air-to-air refuelling tanker has been busy at work over the Nevada Test and Training Range, refuelling not only RAF Typhoons but US F/A-18s too.
The @RoyalAirForce Voyager, based at RAF Brize Norton, is currently deployed on Exercise #RedFlag. As the RAF’s sole air-to-air refuelling tanker, the Voyager has been supporting RAF Typhoons and US F/A 18s over Nevada
The United States military is increasingly focused on preparing for the possibility of a major conflict against China or Russia. @james_acton32 examines the ever-present danger of inadvertent nuclear conflict.
