The Royal Air Force's cutting-edge Wedgetail E7 AEW Mk1 aircraft has hit an important milestone, taking its maiden test flight from Birmingham Airport.

The Wedgetail, which has not even been fully painted yet, will operate from RAF Lossiemouth.

The airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft will provide eyes in the sky for at least the next 20 years.
