Two more US aircraft arrive at RAF Fairford
AI Summary
Two US Air Force Boeing C-17 Globemaster transport planes landed at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, UK, following the arrival of B-1 Lancer bombers earlier in the week. The UK is allowing the US to use its bases for defensive operations amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, specifically involving Iran. One C-17 arrived from Glasgow Prestwick after being diverted due to weather, reportedly carrying munitions and spare parts, while the other came from McGuire Airbase in New Jersey. Keir Starmer authorized the US to use UK bases after retaliatory attacks targeted British allies and the RAF base in Cyprus. In response, the UK is also sending HMS Dragon to the region and reducing the readiness time for HMS Prince of Wales.
