Afghanistan: Last troops touch down in UK – bringing Britain’s 20-year campaign to an end – By Megan Baynes and Andy Hayes (SKY News) / Aug 29 2021
Among those fleeing Afghanistan were approximately 2,200 children, who have now been lifted to safety – the youngest of whom was just one day old.
The last remaining UK troops have begun to touch down in the UK after leaving Kabul for the last time, ending Britain’s 20-year campaign in Afghanistan.
An RAF plane left at 9.25pm on Saturday and arrived at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire early on Sunday morning.
More aircraft are expected to land through Sunday and possibly into Monday.
It follows the departure of the last flight dedicated to the evacuation effort on Friday night.
