Eyes on Brize

Furious ministers have ordered an investigation after a break-in at RAF Brize Norton   

It left a Voyager aircraft daubed in red paint. Defence Secretary John Healey called the incident at the Oxfordshire site “totally unacceptable” and ordered a wider review  of UK base security.

Two men and a woman were later arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences and a woman with assisting an offender.  

Shown above, Brize is a familiar departure point for overseas exercises and ops.
