RAF Lossiemouth gets second Wedgetail AEW&C aircraft as evaluation work continues

A second Boeing E-7 Wedgetail AEW1 surveillance aircraft has arrived at RAF Lossiemouth in Scotland, marking a significant step forward for the UK Royal Air Force’s (RAF) new airborne early warning and control capability. This arrival follows the initial touchdown of the first Wedgetail at its designated operating base, furthering the program's progression towards service entry. The aircraft is currently undergoing evaluation work at Lossiemouth, as part of ongoing efforts to integrate this advanced technology into the RAF fleet. These evaluations are crucial before the Wedgetails enter full operational deployment, supporting critical defense missions. The successful delivery represents an important milestone in modernizing the RAF’s capabilities with this sophisticated radar system.
