Making its Waddington debut was this Sentinel R.1, ZJ692, which, along with four other aircraft, will form the complement of 5( AC) Squadron.

Air International 2013-08 / News

Raytheon Sentinel R1 ZJ692 (c/n 9131, ex C-FZWW) has been given a red tail featuring a maple leaf - as depicted on the unit's badge - as part of the celebrations for No.5(AC) Squadron's centenary. The aircraft is shown on July 7, 2013 prior to take-off for its participation in the RAF Waddington International Air Show in Lincolnshire, during which it flew in company with the Rad Arrows aerobatic team. It was painted with the special markings about two weeks prior to its appearance at the airshow held at No.5(AC) Squadron's home station. The unit was formed at Farnborough, Hampshire, on July 26, 1913, flying a variety of types. Although the fives Sentinels are officially due to be withdrawn at the end of 2014, as announced in the 2010 Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR), RAF sources are confident that its service career will be extended until the next SDSR in 2015, when a decision will be made on its long-term future.

The RAF is investing significant resources in its ISTAR capability, the latest addition being the Sentinel R.1, which will be used for battlefield surveillance. The type is pictured in formation with the other two aircraft types that are based at RAF Waddington and undertake ISTAR, a Nimrod R.1 and an E-3D Sentry AEW.1.

Sentinel R.1s will help add to the overall picture of the battle space by being able to track ground targets as well as provide high resolution imagery at distances of several hundred miles. They will provide a capability similar to the USAF's E-8 J-Stars.
