This afternoon, London Southend Airport saw the the first of Royal Air Force's new E-7A Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning aircraft in its No.VIII Squadron, RAF livery.
The Boeing E-7A Wedgetail AEW Mk.1 will be the RAF's newest aircraft once it enters service. Replacing the E-3D Sentry, which bowed out of service in 2021, the Wedgetail will be based at RAF Lossiemouth alongside its sister 737 airframes in the form of the Boeing P-8A Poseidons.
WT001, seen here in this video, is the first of three Wedgetails on order for the Royal Air Force, and is the 15th E-7 to be built in the world - the others being in Australia, South Korea and Turkey. The aircraft performed its maiden flight from Birmingham Airport last month before heading to Southend Airport a couple of weeks ago to be marked up in its new RAF livery.
Today, the aircraft departed Southend and headed back to Birmingham - unfortunately, due to technical difficulties, the take-off was not captured.
