RAF v RAAF A330

From Flight Global:

"The Royal Australian Air Force is preparing to add the Boeing P-8A Poseidon to the growing list of aircraft that can be refuelled by its Airbus KC-30A multirole tanker type.

Canberra recently certified its A330-based KC-30 to refuel the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III and the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II and is now pressing forward with P-8A trials."

Yet another example of the gross mistake by the RAF in not ordering the Boom equipped version of the A330 tanker. All we need now is for the RAAF or RSAF or Saudi A330 to demonstrate AAR of the RAF's Rivet Joint.
