Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A Royal Air Force (RAF) Typhoon FGR4 aircraft based at Royal Air Force Station Akrotiri in Cyprus.

RAF Akrotiri is home of the Cyprus Operations Support Unit, which provides joint support to British Forces Cyprus (BFC) and operations in the region to protect the UK's strategic interests.

RAF Akrotiri is an extremely busy Permanent Joint Operating Base that supports ongoing operations in the region, as well as support for the Sovereign Base Areas on Cyprus. It is used as a forward mounting base for overseas operations in the Middle East and for fast jet training.

RAF Akrotiri's Griffin helicopters also play an important search and rescue (SAR) function in collaboration with the Republic of Cyprus Police and National Guard Air Command.
