RAF Poseidon MRA1s

Description

In July 2019, the Royal Air Force’s first Poseidon MRA1 had its first
flight. The United Kingdom has ordered nine of the Boeing P-8 patrol
aircraft to replace capabilities lost with the retirement of their
Nimrod fleet several years before. The first aircraft (ZP801) is named
“Pride of Moray” as a tribute to the region of Scotland in which the
Poseidons’ home base of RAF Lossiemouth is located, and its historic
ties to the UK’s maritime patrol heritage. Also included are ZP802
“City of Elgin”, ZP803 “Terrence Bulloch DSO* DFC*”, ZP804 “Spirit of
Reykjavik” and ZP805 “Fulmar”
