United Kingdom Prime Minister David Cameron and Defence Secretary Michael Fallon stand with Royal Air Force crew members in front of a U.S. Navy P-8A Poseidon at the Farnborough International Air Show, July 11, 2016. During the first day of the air show, the Ministry of Defence confirmed a deal to purchase nine P-8A Poseidon Maritime Patrol Aircraft for the RAF. The new aircraft, which will be based at RAF Lossiemouth in Scotland, will play a vital role in protecting the UK’s nuclear deterrent and the UK’s two new aircraft carriers, according to an MoD press release. They will also be able to locate and track hostile submarines, and will enhance the UK’s maritime search and rescue capability. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Eric Burks/Released)
