The RAF's VC-10's are now seriously long in the tooth as are the Tristar tankers and both got a lot of flying hours lately supporting ops in Afghanistan and Iraq. There's a real need to replace both in the refuelling and transport role. Its my understanding that 2 bids have been made The first from EADS, RR, Cobham and Thales involves the use of Airbus 330-200 airframes while the other from BAE Sysytems,Boeing and Serco involves the use of Boeing 767-300ER airframes.
