Lyneham-based 70 Squadron will be the lead squadron for the RAF detachment in Kandahar.
Surely putting the 'K' into Afghanistan in Summer instead of flinging them at sea-level Iraq doesn't make sense to anybody - does it? The thing'll be practically MOS even

At least they're finally managing to get the old bird back on a det though, there's one consolation. Or at least - they're
planning to get the old bird back on a det. It would be awfully embarrassing if the aircraft fell over (again) at the last minute after that RAF News centre page spread...
