The RAF in Scotland
Listen now
Description
Scotland plays a significant role in the RAF's defence of the United Kingdom with both Typhoon QRA (Quick Reaction Alert) jets and the Poseidon multi-role maritime patrol aircraft based at RAF Lossiemouth. Sqn Ldr Peter Lisney talks with Air Officer Scotland, Air Vice-Marshal Ross Paterson, about the Royal Air Force presence in Scotland, the highlights of Highland life, and why once posted there, it seems personnel don't ever want to leave. We’ll also hear about the RAF's lead in this year’s Edinburgh Military Tattoo. InsideAIR is produced for the Royal Air Force by RAF Media Reserves. Theme music by RAF Music Services.
