Fuelling The Fight Against IS: On Board Britain's Voyagers

Forces TV has gained unprecedented access to the UK's operation in Cyprus, where every bombing run in the fight against Islamic State begins.

Simon Newton has been on board the Voyager tankers that allow the might of the RAF's Tornado GR4s to reach their targets in Iraq.

It comes after the Defence Secretary said Britain's surveillance mission in Iraq and Syria has been extended until 2016.

The announcement comes a year since RAF airstrikes began against Islamic State militants in Iraq.
