Actually , on the ground in Sudan doing the extraction.
A400 ZM404 and C130J ZH868
How to say this.. was lucky enough to be able to listen in on a lot of the Op. Quite a contrast to the US effort who had 6 KC-135's and a KC-10 for AR support plus F-16 escorts for the extraction assets. UK fielded an A400 and C-130 with no AR support which caused quite some issues.
