The giant bombers, which have been expected to play a key role in the bombing of Iraq, took off one after the other from the Gloucestershire base. In recent days the eight-engine bombers, which carry an awesome arsenal of weapons including cruise missiles, have been seen being loaded up. It is the first time that so many of the jets have left the base in one sortie. The planes, which have an 8,000-mile range, could hit Iraqi targets within around six hours of leaving Britain. |
