Mission Statement
To Provide Combat Capability for Expeditionary Operations Worldwide.
RAF Lossiemouth is the largest and busiest fast-jet base in the Royal Air Force.
Our Station is home to 3 operational squadrons of Tornado GR4s, the Tornado GR4 Operational Conversion Unit, a Sea King Search & Rescue Flight, an RAF Regiment Field Squadron and an RAF Regiment Auxiliary Squadron, as well as an extensive range of operational, logistic and administrative support functions.
Our day-to-day task is to train and prepare for the projection of air power on operations world-wide. Our commitment of people and aircraft to current operations is wide-ranging and continuous: together with the rest of the RAF, we make a pivotal contribution to the defence and security interests of the UK. A vital part of maintaining our operational capability is ensuring that the needs of the families and partners of our 2800 military and civilian personnel are looked after and we have extensive support facilities available to make that happen. We are also a major and well-integrated part of the local community in Moray, an outstandingly beautiful part of Scotland.
