Our 206 Sqn team recently conducted trials using Sustainable Aviation Fuel on our Voyager aircraft - here they are briefing Baroness Goldie on their exploits! #DaretobeBold Royal Air Force

Last year a Royal Air Force Voyager aircraft took to the skies using 100% sustainable aviation fuel in a world-first.

Defence Minister Baroness Goldie visited RAF Brize Norton today to meet the team who helped make it happen and learn more about the future of sustainable flight.

This afternoon a C-130 Hercules and three aeromedical teams from the RAF’s Tactical Medical Wing departed RAF Brize Norton to assist critically ill and injured patients in Turkiye.
 
The aircraft and medical teams will be capable of caring for the highest dependency patients.

Amazing watching 206 Sqn RAF, the RAF’s trials and evaluation Sqn, part of the RAF Air & Space Warfare Centre, flying home in the Airbus Defence Atlas C.1 at sunset after a busy training sortie that included hitting the LFA7 Wales 😎🌅

ℹ️Do you remember the Crew Workload Assessment in the UK with support from RAF Brize Norton? It showed the Airbus #A400M 's diverse capabilities, such as aerial delivery. The type's low-speed characteristics make it ideal for dropping supplies from low altitude for rapid responses.
