Mammoth US Bombers Arrive In Britain
Three of the largest planes in the US Air Force fleet have arrived in Britain.
RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire is currently home to the B-52 Stratofortress bombers.
The iconic aircraft is best known for its service during the Vietnam War, but has taken part in operations in most major conflicts since.
Its huge 56-metre wingspan means RAF Fairford is one of only places in the UK that can accommodate it.
They're expected to be deployed in the campaign against Daesh, as well as taking part in exercises in Europe and Africa.
