Pilots and groundcrew deployed with the RAF's Quick Reaction Alert mission in Iceland are on alert 24/7 and strive to achieve "perfection" in their role, their commander has said.

BFBS Forces News was given access to RAF pilots as British F-35s and 617 Squadron are tasked with defending the alliance's airspace in the Arctic region.

It is also the first time F-35B Lightnings have taken on an air policing role.
