  • 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. Image shows RAF Lossiemouth Typhoons while refuelling with ZZ336, Vespina.

    Today the newly painted RAF Voyager ZZ336, aka Vespina, took flight on its first operational sortie after its refurbishment.

    Departing RAF Brize Norton, the Voyager aircraft flew up to the North Sea, refuelling Typhoons out of RAF Lossiemouth and F-35’s out of RAF Marham.

    This will be only the second flight of Vespina, her first coming yesterday when flying from Marshall’s, in Cambridge, to RAF Brize Norton, her home. It will also be a showcase of her ability to conduct dual roles, transporting VVIP’s and refuelling tanking aircraft on exercise.

    The F-35’s and Typhoons are currently flying as part of Exercise Crimson Ocean, which has involved the F-35’s of Number 617 Squadron operating from the Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier for the very first time.

    The Typhoon jets are operated by Number 9 Squadron, otherwise known as No. IX (Bomber) Squadron, who are a recently reformed squadron that operated the Tornado GR4 until its retirement in March last year. The Typhoons call Gotham home, Gotham currently a part of RAF Lossiemouth.

    Alongside the IX Sqn Typhoons and 617 Sqn F-35’s, 1 Squadron jets also refuelled, and a single Hawk, flown by Number 100 Squadron, out of RAF Leeming, also shared the skies of the North Sea. The jet, a photo whip aircraft, while conducting essential training as part of its sortie, used the opportunity to capture some unique imagery of Vespina conducting its refuelling role.

  • 2020 ROYAL AIR FORCE PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPETITION RESULTS
    DUKAS_120569376_EYE
    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
