RAF Deployment to North Korea
The Times article on the deployment of a VC10 to the area, the first of many perhaps?

Why would it be the first of many? The VC-10 is there for a specific mission as it did after the North Korean nuclear test in 2006.
There is a short video here of the last VC-10 radiation sampling mission from Japan - 2006. One of the pods can be seen under the port wing.
Right click on the video to zoom in.

BBD,
If you have seen recent footage from Kadena, Japan on BBC/Sky you will also see the US atmospheric collection aircraft. One piece of footage has the VC-10 landing with the WC-135 framed in the foreground.
