A Royal Air Force Tornado F3 from XI Sqn, based at RAF Leeming, during Exercise Magic Carpet 2005
A Royal Air Force Tornado F3 from XI Sqn, based at RAF Leeming, during Exercise Magic Carpet 2005. The aircraft was part of a strong RAF contingent based at Thumrait Airfield, Oman.
The exercise was an opportunity for RN, RAF, Omani, French Air Force, USAF and USN squadrons to deploy and practice heavy-weapon bomb drops, utilising the extensive ranges and relatively clear airspace available over Oman. There were a variety of aircraft which took part, including our own Sea Harriers, GR7s and SKASaC, USN F18 and S3 Viking, USAF F16, French Mirage 2000 and RAF Tornado F3, Jaguar, VC10 air to air refuelling and E3D AWACS. In total around 60 aircraft were in theatre, allowing for realistic exercising of coalition forces. The participation of HMS Invincible with her Tailored Air Group (TAG) gave an excellent opportunity to prove the Strike Carrier concept within a controlled exercise environment and gain some useful general warfare training. It was a good opportunity for the ships company to progress training in an exercise environment

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a Royal Air Force Tornado F3 from XI Sqn, stationed at RAF Leeming, during Exercise Magic Carpet 2005. The aircraft was among the strong RAF contingent based at Thumrait Airfield in Oman. This exercise provided an exceptional opportunity for various squadrons including RN, RAF, Omani, French Air Force, USAF and USN to deploy and practice heavy-weapon bomb drops. The vast ranges and clear airspace over Oman facilitated realistic training scenarios. The participating aircraft encompassed a diverse range of models such as Sea Harriers, GR7s and SKASaC from our own fleet, alongside USN F18s and S3 Vikings, USAF F16s, French Mirage 2000s and RAF Tornado F3s, Jaguars, VC10 air-to-air refueling planes as well as E3D AWACS. With approximately 60 aircraft present in theater throughout the exercise period, coalition forces were able to engage in comprehensive joint operations. Notably contributing to this exercise was HMS Invincible with her Tailored Air Group (TAG), demonstrating the effectiveness of the Strike Carrier concept within a controlled environment while simultaneously gaining valuable general warfare training. For the ship's company involved in this endeavor; it proved to be an excellent opportunity for advancing their skills amidst an exercise setting. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to the dedication and proficiency demonstrated by all armed forces personnel involved in Exercise Magic Carpet 2005.
