51 Sqn taxiing out.
One of Waddingtons rather sensitive ISTAR assets taxiing for departure. ZZ666 is the third and final RC-135 (called Airseeker in UK service) to be delivered. Somebody in the serial allocation office has a sense of history as the three Airseekers are allocated ZZ664 through 6, the original Nimrod R1s were allocated XW664 to 6, although XW666 crashed and was replaced by a MR2 conversion.
