AIR MOBILITY FORCE (AMF) at RAF Brize Norton, Oxfordshire, is a busy place. The RAF’s largest station, it’s home to its strategic/tactical air transport and air-to-air refuelling forces, including nine A330 Voyagers, 24 C-130J Hercules, eight C-17 Globemasters and 11 A400Ms of 22 on order. With all these capabilities, the AMF works to meet the UK’s defence airlift requirements.
