Boris Johnson’s RAF Voyager plane takes to the skies for first time after contraversial £900,000 paint job.
Boris Johnson’s RAF Voyager plane takes to the skies for first time after controversial £900,000 paint job. Following the arrival of the RAF VIP Voyager “Vespina” at its base at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire on Thursday 25th June 2021, the aircraft undertook its first operational tasking today Friday 26th June 2021, by tanking RAF Lightning and Typhoon fighters during Exercise CRIMSON OCEAN.
After several weeks repainting, the Voyager was confirmed ready to undertake its full operational role of Air-to-Air Refuelling and personnel transport alongside the rest of the RAF Voyager fleet. Taking off from RAF Brize Norton, the aircraft spent most of the day airborne to provide several refuelling stops for the fighters taking part in the joint RAF and Royal Navy exercise. This refuelliung occured off the North East coast of the United Kingdom.
Exercise CRIMSON OCEAN allows the Royal Navy and RAF to train and hone their ability to deliver routine fighter and helicopter operations in a range of environments from the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth. Lightning aircraft from 617 Squadron have been onboard the carrier since 9 July when they left their base at RAF Marham in Norfolk.
The aircraft, known as Vespina is also referred to as 'ZZ336', its military registration number, was previously visually indistinguishable from the rest of the RAF Voyager Fleet. The new paint scheme will better reflect its VIP mission and contribution to ‘Global Britain’. The paintwork concludes a refurbishment stemming from the 2015 SDSR.
THE TYPHOON WAS FROM 9 SQN BASED AT RAF LOSSIEMOUTH. F35 AIRCRAFT FROM 617 SQN, RAF MARHAM.

2020 ROYAL AIR FORCE PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPETITION RESULTS
RAF 2020 photo competition. A F-35 Lightning Pilot from 207 Sqn - Operational Conversion Unit (OCU) at RAF Marham. OCU supports preparation for the operational missions of F-35 by providing trained personnel, teach pilots how to fly an aircraft and which tactics best exploit the performance of their aircraft and its weapons.
The F-35’s Helmet Mounted Display Systems provide pilots with unprecedented situational awareness. All the information pilots need to complete their missions – airspeed, heading, altitude, targeting information and warnings – is projected on the helmet’s visor, rather than on a traditional Heads-up Display. This approach greatly reduces the pilot’s workload and increases responsiveness. Additionally, the F-35’s Distributed Aperture System (DAS) streams real-time imagery from six infrared cameras mounted around the aircraft to the helmet, allowing pilots to “look through” the airframe. The helmet also provides pilots night vision through the use of an integrated camera.
This image was one of 900 images submitted to this year’s RAF Photographic Competition and although not placed by the judges, it highlights the exceptionally high standard of work carried by RAF Photographers over the past year.© MOD / Crown Copyright / eyevine

EXCLUSIVE ALLROUNDERPICTURED: Supercell storm rolls in over an old abandoned Schoolhouse
British landscape photographer John Finney, 48, from High Peak in Derbyshire, has captured these stunning extreme weather pictures while on a 10-day storm chasing trip across America's mid-west. Although safety was paramount, John and his colleagues found themselves in some sticky situations while documenting the epic journey.
John says, "We were chasing from the 19th of June to the 30th of June. We started in Colorado and chased into Oklahoma, Texas, then north through Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, and finally Montana, where we covered approximately 5000 miles.
"The most dangerous storm was on the 21st of June, which started near Highway 287 just south of Limon, Colorado. As we began to give chase, the storm gained more momentum and caused extensive damage across Kansas and Nebraska in the following hours.
"Moving at 60mph, the storm was difficult to keep ahead of. We tried to stay about 10 miles ahead of the storm to avoid the damaging hail. We could only stop for photographs for a few minutes before the storm would catch us up again.
"As the storm worsened we fled east to nearby Wallace before we got caught up with 85mph winds with large hail. We managed to escape the worst of it, but some of our fellow storm chasers were not so lucky and they lost all of their car windows to the hail and debris that the storm had picked up. Most of the towns in the area had lost power and sustained damage from hail and wind but were lucky the storm didn't drop a tornado."
As these amazing pictures show, John survived the storms and is home safe and sound and has collated his best images from the trip for us all to see.

A storm chaser has captured a series of stunning images of spectacular storms all over the USA.
Dave Stevenson spent just 12 days in June travelling thousands of miles and covered NINE states in 4 weeks.
"I drove about 4,500 miles, or just shy of 500 miles per day." explains Dave.
The incredible photos capture the severity of Mother Nature with images displaying ferocious black clouds and lightning bolts hitting the ground.
Dave, aged 36 and from London, trekked to states Colorada, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas chasing the perfect storm to snap.
“Storm chasing is such a fascinating thing to photograph.’ says Dave.
“The majority of each day is spent planning, looking at maps, and driving, as most large supercell storms don’t get going until the afternoon.”
During his trip Dave had one hairy moment when a lightning bolt hit the ground near his car.
“You could feel the static in the air!”
Dave shot his stills using a combination of high-end cameras, lenses and highly sensitive light detecting triggers that can fire a camera much faster that a human, allowing him to capture a number of lightning images.
