Rest in Peace muckers.
Three RAF personnel killed in Basra
19 Jul 07

It is with profound sadness that the Ministry of Defence must confirm the deaths of one serviceman from 504 Squadron Royal Auxiliary Air Force and two servicemen from 1 Squadron RAF Regiment on Thursday 19th July 2007.

They were killed in an indirect fire attack on the Contingency Operating Base in Basra, Iraq.

For operational security reasons MOD is not able to give any further details.

The next of kin of all three servicemen have been informed and have requested a period of grace before further details are released.

Another reservist losing his life alongside his two regular colleagues.

RIP all three.
