		VC10 K3 and K4 The bulk of the RAF's single-role AAR fleet comprises VC10 K3 and K4 aircraft flown by No 101 Squadron based at RAF Brize Norton.
		Tanker aircraft are hemp or dark grey and carry squadron markings on the tail along with a single-letter code.
		The VC10 C1K although now old and suffering from both limiting airframe restrictions as well as air traffic restrictions, such as noise and the new avionics requirements for modern civil airspace, still remains a very capable dual role aircraft.

		One RAF Regiment squadron would be at intermediate notice (72 hours), other squadrons would be at normal notice (7 days).
		The present establishment of RAF Masirah would be unable to provide adequate defence if the security of the airfield was threatened and therefore reinforcement by a RAF Regiment squadron would be necessary.
		The security and close defence of the airfield is the responsibility of the RAF detachment there, which in turn relies on the Sultan's Armed Forces (SAF) supported by attached British Forces for the general defence of the Salalah area.

	Jewish RAF Special Operators in Radio Counter Measures with 101 Squadron
		There is little doubt that outside the small circle of 101 Squadron veterans, few know of the important and dangerous work of the Special Operators and their Lancaster crew comrades, less still the role of the Jewish SOs.
		From October 1943 until the end of the war all main-force attacks on German targets were accompanied by Lancasters of 101 Squadron, sometimes up to twenty-seven in one raid.
		Once in 101, they soon integrated and became close friends with their crew-mates, even though they arrived later than many others who had trained together, and had in some cases already had special training for secret work.
