Comment
At first glance nothing too shocking : a classic CBOW mission. But then on the way home things are anything but 'classic' ! First we saw the Italian KC-767A in that area and now Biggles turns up there too. We've seen the RAF A330 return from an Iraq mission via Turkey once, but never when accompanied by Eurofighters and look : a Eurofighter accompanying Biggles. Most unusual ! And it gets curiouser and curiouser : it would appear the A330 and presumably the EUFIs accompanying it also flew into Iraq via Turkey.Resources
