Their Tornado jets are not only busy carrying out reconnaissance from the air, but they are on standby to provide close air support to ISAF troops and Afghan forces on the ground. The squadron from RAF Marham are now half way through their tour as part of the 904 Expeditionary Air Wing. British Forces News caught up with them in Kandahar.
