Read excerpt
RAF Brize Norton is one of the busiest air bases in the RAF, so imagine the impact on operations if the runway was put out of action.

Every other year, the island of Hawaii hosts a huge exercise with personnel from more than 30 nations working together across the air, sea and land domains.
