Britain to buy extra C-17 aircraft
The British Prime Minister David Cameron has announced that the Ministry of Defence is to order an additional C-17 Globemaster, taking the number of aircraft in the RAF’s fleet to eight.
Speaking in the House of Commons, Cameron said: “Because the Ministry of Defence’s finances are better run and better managed, and because we have found savings, we will be able to purchase an additional C-17 for the RAF”.
The purchase of an extra C-17 will help to support the airbridge which transports armed forces personnel and equipment between the UK and Afghanistan. The newest C-17 is currently being built by Boeing in the United States and is due to come off the production line next month. It is then expected to enter service with the RAF in July 2012.
The aircraft, which will cost £200 million, will be based at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire along with the other aircraft in the fleet which are operated by 99 Squadron. The C-17 aircraft can fly over 4,500 nautical miles (8,300 km), meaning it can cover the distance between the UK and Helmand province in the one flight.
