Maritime Patrol Aircraft
(asked on 26th November 2015) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether the Boeing P8 Maritime Patrol Aircraft will be capable of being refuelled by RAF Voyagers aircraft.
This question was answered on 3rd December 2015
The P-8A uses the 'boom and receptacle' method of in-flight refuelling. As such, the P-8A will not be able to refuel from RAF Voyager Aircraft, which use a different configuration for air-to-air refuelling.
