AIR-TO-AIR REFUELLING PRESENTS MANY CHALLENGES.

WHO IS BETTER EQUIPPED TO MEET THEM?

EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE OF AIR-TO-AIR REFUELLING TANKERS.

LONG TRACK RECORD IN FULFILLING MILITARY PFI CONTRACTS.

TEAM IN PLACE TO DELIVER COMPREHENSIVE SERVICE SUPPORT.

AIRCRAFT TO BE PROVEN IN SERVICE BEFORE THE RAF TAKES DELIVERY.

DELIVERABLE AND BANKABLE FINANCIAL SOLUTION.

Fighters and bombers aren't the only aircraft that win air battles. Tankers also play a vital role. In fact, air superiority is impossible without air-to-air refuelling capability.

Clearly then, the running of the new RAF tanker fleet should be handled by experts with a detailed understanding of the entire process. In other words, The Tanker Team.

The companies in our consortium have many years' experience of air-to-air refuelling, having designed, built and supported 98% of the world's strategic military tanker fleet to date. Added to which, we have successfully run many military PFI contracts.

Indeed one member of The Tanker Team already provides support services for the existing tanker fleet at RAF Brize Norton, and has recently had its contract renewed for a further three years on the strength of past performance.

The aircraft we are proposing, the Boeing 767, is a tried and tested tanker platform that will have been perfected over three years in military service elsewhere before being used by the RAF.

And finally, on the financial side, The Tanker Team has been working with a group of four major British banks for over two years to ensure that its solution is bankable and deliverable.

Can our competitor claim to be as well prepared?
