A ROYAL Air Force, RAF, spy plane sent to join the international hunt for schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram militants has broken down on the way. The Sentinel R1 was forced to divert to Senegal with a “technical issue” and will be grounded until repairs have been completed.
UK Ministry of Defense released a statement…...
"A technical fault which has
delayed the Sentinel aircraft on its way to Ghana is being investigated and
will be solved as soon as possible. In the meantime the UK military team
continues its work on the ground while other surveillance aircraft continue the
search for the missing schoolgirls," .
British
Prime Minister, David Cameron offered the Sentinel to the Nigerian government
to use its advanced ground scanning radar to help in the locate and rescue efforts.
