Comment

This RAF C17 flew a NATO mission to Afghanistan from Akrotiri earlier this week. Now it sneaks in an unusual second mission in one week. Flying to Riyadh Air Base, a microscopic 'base' located in the middle of the city of Riyadh. No doubt the idea is to 'sneak' in there to change hats : fly in a NATA NAG and fly out a vanilla RAF probably to Akrotiri.
