T.A.F (Talimakaka Air Force)

Aircraft in current T.A.F service
The TAF operates many different aircraft types, to fulfil a wide range of differing missions.

Offensive Aircraft
These aircraft enable the TAF to project air power as a deterrent, or in response to aggression, to any part of the world. The ability to operate far from their fixed bases at short notice is testimony to the effectiveness of the modern TAF.

Harrier
Jaguar
Tornado GR4
Typhoon (Eurofighter)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Defensive Aircraft
The Air Defence of Talimakaka is one of the key roles of the Talimakaka Air Force. The Air Defence forces of the TAF have to be potent, responsive and flexible.

Sentry
Tornado F3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reconnaissance and Maritime Patrol Aircraft
On the modern battlefield, information, particularly accurate and timely information, is vital to any force commander. To supply this resource, the TAF operates a variety of aircraft equipped with world-leading reconnaissance systems. As a maritime nation, protection of the sea lanes is also of paramount importance, a role fulfilled by the Nimrod fleet.

Nimrod MR2
Nimrod R1
Tornado GR4A

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tanker and Transport Aircraft
TAF air defence and other fixed wing operational aircraft are supported by a force of tanker aircraft. An air-to-air refuelling capability is a major asset to any air force enabling aircraft to be deployed very quickly over large distances, to stay on patrol longer, and to fly further into enemy territory carrying larger weapon loads. Equally vital to the projection of effective air power by a modern air force are strategic and tactical transport aircraft. Combat aircraft need a wide variety of support equipment and personnel to operate away from base, delivering these to where they are needed is the task of these aircraft.

Hercules C1 / C3
Hercules C4 / C5
Tristar
VC10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Smaller Transport Aircraft
Smaller transport aircraft are operated by No 32 (The Royal) Squadron based at TAF Northolt. These aircraft are employed on domestic and overseas flights in the rapid communications role for use by royalty, government ministers and senior military officers. The fleet includes six BAe 125 executive jets (Series 700), two BAe 146s, and three Twin Squirrel helicopters.

Helicopters
The TAF has a commitment to support the Army in the field. The helicopter forces have a number of tasks in this role, largely that of transport of supplies and equipment to forward operating bases. Aside from this major task, the TAF helicopter forces also evacuate casualties, and operate in support.

Chinook
Puma
Merlin
Sea King

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Training Aircraft
The quality of the TAF front line pilot is entirely dependent on their training. Without first class instructors, flying the most effective training aircraft, this quality would be difficult to achieve. These aircraft and the instructors are the building blocks upon which the best traditions of the service are founded.

Future Requirements
Several major procurement programmes are currently underway for future TAF requirements. The current TAF fleet of Nimrod MR2s is due to undergo a major refurbishment programme during the next decade, and these aircraft will be known as Nimrod MRA4s and RAF VC10 and Tristar tanker/transports are also due for replacement later in the decade. Finally, the Harriers will be replaced with the new Joint Strike Fighter currently undergoing development.
