RAF Lossiemouth set for training spectacular

A fleet of jets from around the world will zoom into RAF Lossiemouth later this month for a series of spectacular training sessions.
Aircraft from Canada, America, Germany and Turkey will be stationed at the Moray base from Monday, April 11, to Friday, April 22 during Exercise Joint Warrior.
Alongside 60 jets, more than 30 warships and submarines will patrol the extensive northern shoreline during the operation.
The airfield is making plans to house a new fleet of Boeing P8 Poseidon surveillance planes in the coming years, and local enthusiasts will be able to get an early glimpse of the impressive machines when a deployment touches down to take part in the exercise.
