One of the UK's most well-known RAF bases is to lose 300 aircraft support staff, the government has announced.
The job losses at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire are part of nationwide cuts of 7,500 personnel across the service.
Brize Norton, one of the RAF's principal bases, was heavily used in the Iraq war and the Kosovo conflict.
The cuts were first announced by Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon last July. Armed Forces Minister Adam Ingram revealed the details on Thursday.
