Vigilance can confirm that Servicemen and women from 2(AC) Squadron are returning to RAF Marham after supporting UK missions over Libya as part of Operation Ellamy.
Tornado missions over Libya have taken place every single day since operations began in March and the Tornado GR4 Force have racked up over 5400 flying hours in the last 5 months – the equivalent of 2 years worth of training sorties for one squadron back in the UK.
