Synopsis

abc Military Aircraft Markings 2002 has been fully revised to include the huge number of changes that have affected military aircraft serials over the past year. Two new types of helicopter - the Apache AH1 and Merlin HC3 - have entered service with the Army Air Corps and the Royal Air Force respectively, whilst the last RAF VC10K2 tankers have flown their last. Reflecting the RAF's changing commitment in the post-Cold War era, the RAF Germany base at Bruggen was gradually wound down during the course of the year, with its units redeployed back to the UK; this marks the effective end of the permanent RAF prescence in Germany. However, Not all the news was good, as during the course of the year severalhigh profile accidents at airshows resulted in several casualties amongst both aircrew and aircraft. abc Military Aircraft Markings 2002 reflects the continuing debate about Britain's defence capabilities with its comprehensive listing of all of Britain's military aircraft and helicopters. Apart from the RAF abc Military Aircraft Markings 2002 also includes information on the aircraft of the Royal Navy, the Army Air Corps, the USAF in Britain and Europe, the Irish Air Corps, Western European air forces and much else. With such rapid change affecting not just Britain's forces, but those of other nations as well, Military Aircraft Markings 2002 is essential for the enthusiast wishing to keep up to date.
