UPDATES:
The13 Dornier Alpa Jet are not strictly RAF (although they have UK Military registration and flown by RAF airmen) but are operated by a private company called QinetiQ Ltd out of Boscombe Down airfield in Wiltshire. The jets are used for RAF test pilot training (ETPS), continuation training of fast jet aircrews and trials support activities such as photo-chase/ target training.
The Sepcat Jaguar's left the fleet in late 07/early 08 some have been kept behind and used as ground taxi trainers at Cranwell AB. The Jetstream, HS-780 and BD-700 are all RAF open skies aircraft. The Lockheed Martin F-35B JSF is to enter the fleet in 2012, 138 are on order, 4 Hawker Beechcraft Shadow R1 joined the fleet October 09. The A400M is also on order with 25 aircraft due to enter service. The VC-10 is to leave the fleet in 2014. Hawker Siddeley MR2 retired in 2009. New song because the other one used was not allowed due to a WMG violation but thwe previous song was Rob Dugon - Furious angels

AND I WILL WRITE THIS IN CAPITALS SO YOU CAN ALL SEE IT CLEARLY!! PLEASE NO VS BATTLES ABOUTS WHOS BETTER THAN WHO, WHO WOULD WIN IN A WAR, WHOS GOT THE BETTER SOLDIERS, WHOS BETTER OR BIGGER. I PERSONALY HATE PEOPLE WHO DO THIS AND I THINK PEOPLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO WATCH VIDEOS FROM ANY COUNTRY WITHOUT READING SUCH DRIBBLE UNDERNEITH!! IF YOU DO YOUR COMMENTS WILL BE DELETED WITHIN 12 HOURS.

  • Great video, but I am sure that the Alphjet although flown by some of our allies should not be on this RAF fleet list.

    Thanks for posting

  • Oh yeah, so assuming you're an F-18 Pilot, You're an Officer right? Now, from what i know, Armed forces do not accept candidates as Officers, especially Pilots, If they cannot use good grammer and the right words. Example, Their's should really say Theres. So, what Country you flying for then?

  • If i had my status as a UK citizen residing in Australia, i would have joined the RAF. Unfortunatly they took it away and gave me Aussie citizenship when i turned 18.

    Still cant complain, considering i was born in Australia.

  • @TheArmchairSoldier less than 1000 mate :(

    Just more and more never ending cuts, sooner or later we'll be defending our skies with hot air balloons!

  • I think we have a lot less aircraft now

    Harrier and Nimrod will be missed :'(

  • @mrscottish1993 the Apache is under the command of the army, not the airforce.

  • What's so royal about it?

  • Firstly i want too say thanks too tonighwefly for making this awesome video!!!! :). and also like the amerians have a two BIG! boring air force but like New Zealand witch has a too SMALL! Air force Britain has the RAF Witch is not too small or big but just the perfect size (NO OFFENCE TOO ANY ONE LIKE AMERICAN AND NEW ZEALAND PEOPLE.:) )

  • do not forget to czech pilots what flew and died in the RAF in 2ww

  • @TheArmchairSoldier Its pretty much got to happen tho, the RAF has already asked the government for a carrier full of harriers to use in libya but was turned down to save embarrassment after the defence review, there was anger then about that so surely they wont turn down bringing back harriers for 9 weeks
