RAF get a lift from Sixth C-17
Given the Gov/MOD current difficulties in the media, I'm surprised more was not made of yesterday's announcement regarding the purchase of a sixth C17:-

Article

The RAF’s ability to transport heavy equipment and supplies to troops in theatre was significantly enhanced with the purchase of a sixth C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft. The purchase of the aircraft, through a £130 million contract with the Boeing Company, was announced today by Baroness Taylor.
