Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Electro-optical imagery from a Royal Air Force Sentinel reconnaisance aircraft showing floods surrounding a railway line in Oxford in February 2014.

The RAF has provided further high-tech support to relief efforts in flood-affected parts of the UK, sending up a sophisticated surveillance aircraft to create a unique picture of the situation on the ground.

A Sentinel R1 aircraft housing a radar surveillance system was tasked to provide wide area imagery support to the multi-agency flood relief efforts, following requests from civilian agencies in a number of areas.

The aircraft, operated by the RAF’s 5 (Army Cooperation) Squadron from RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire, took to the skies on Thursday evening capturing imagery of various flood-affected parts of the country.

The Sentinel mission follows a previous sortie on Thursday using one of the RAF’s fleet of Tornado GR4 fast jets. The Tornado’s ‘Raptor’ surveillance pod produces optical imagery which will be complemented the Sentinel’s radar pictures.
