Meet the RAF's first response jets
RAF Lossiemouth's first response jets are standing-by ready to intercept military and civilian aircraft which encroach UK airspace.

Station Commander Paul Godfrey said ground staff and pilots treat all training exercises as a real sortie: "Your heart starts thumping as soon as that scramble call comes through."
The site is one of two UK QRA bases who are permanently on stand-by should they be needed.
