Huge thanks to The Boeing Company at #VirtualAirTattoo for sharing fantastic footage of our 4th Poseidon MRA Mk1 ZP804 as she takes off on her maiden flight. Excited for ZP803 and ZP804 joining the fleet RAF Lossiemouth later this year to grow CXX Squadron capability in #SecuringTheSeas

We are proud to reveal ZP803's new name as she comes out of The Boeing Company paint shop; 'Terence Bulloch DSO* DFC*'. Sqn Ldr Bulloch was a CXX Squadron pilot during WW2 with an impressive record as the highest scoring pilot in Coastal Command, someone for our crews to aspire to.

As we catch glimpses of ZP801 and 802 #SecuringTheSeas of the United Kingdom, here's ZP803 as she makes her way down the The Boeing Company production line before she joins the fleet later this year. Watch this space next week as she comes out of the paint shop with her new name on!

The first production representative GA-ASI MQ-9B has taken its maiden flight in the USA.

To be known as Protector in RAF service our fleet will be based RAF Waddington and operated by 31 Squadron, part of your #NextGenRAF
