The RAF has been working at full stretch to transport troops out of Afghanistan in time for Christmas, and bring their replacements along with supplies - with presents, letters and messages for troops spending the festive season away from loved ones.
The BBC travelled with the RAF via the vital air link between Britain and the men and women on the ground - from RAF Brize Norton to Helmand Province.
Full stretch is one word for it :hmm:
Well done to all the lads out there, for doing, as per usual, a stirling and largely thankless job. Oh, and thanks to the BBC for a decent in-theatre report :D
