417Members of the Royal Air Force worked 19-hour days as Typhoon fighter jets were involved in the defence of Israel, the Defence Secretary has said.
Speaking to BFBS Forces News, John Healey said he visited some of the RAF personnel in Cyprus who underlined "they know their job".
"They do their job day to day, but they are also ready to scramble at very short notice to put in, as some did, 19 hours a day to get planes in the air and to be ready to respond to the changing circumstances," he said.
