Produced by Key Publishing and featuring articles written with and by RAF personnel, RAF 2012 is a 132-page special magazine that provides behind the scenes insight into the aircraft, equipment and people of one of the world's premier air forces.

Features include:

Marham to Misrata
Spearheading the UK's action against the Gaddafi regime in Libya with epic cruise missile raids, the Tornado became the cornerstone of Ellamy operations.

Merlin Magic
A Merlin crew, fresh back from Bastion, describe their experiences as they prepare to return for the Christmas period.

Typhoon Triumphant
Swiftly deployed in the air-to-air role, the RAF's Typhoons were soon proving their game-changing capability against Pro-Gaddafi ground targets.

C-17: Ten Years On
To mark the 10th anniversary of the C-17 in RAF service, we visit the aircraft's Brize Norton base to find out what a typical week in the life of the Globemaster is. It quickly emerged there was no such thing...

21st Century Targeting
The commitment of Typhoon and Tornado over Libya brought hitherto unknown capabilities to the RAF's tactical air power, plugging the most advanced weapons and capabilities into a real-time ISTAR network.

Typhoons, Tonkas and Old Timers

Typhoons, Tornados and Spitfires - that's a unique combination of assets for any air base. For Group Captain 'Sammy' Sampson, Station Commander at Coningsby, it represents a fine challenge.

and much more!
