Fairly sure that's not an Apache either!

I did notice something that may be of use though:

The warhead - used by Apache helicopter crews - is one of the most powerful rockets in the world.

If that is the case, then maybe these 70mm rockets could be the new replacement for Trident!:}

Are the AAC using RAF armourers to service their aircraft? I remember them trying to recruit in the 90s but had not realised that they had given up looking after their own aircraft.

Before starting a thread, you might want to check whether there is already another thread covering the subject. See here:

http://www.pprune.org/military-aircrew/430401-raf-post-live-apache-missile-back-uk.html

And the Mods closed that one, so expect this thread to be the same fairly soon .....

The report says this happened two years ago. Good to see the Sun's timeliness is as accurate as their aircraft recognition.....:D
