Delivery of first two Boeing AH-64E Apache Guardian (ZM704 and ZM705) was via RAF 99 Sq C-17 to RAF Brize Norton and then onto Wattisham on 26 Nov 2020. Where known, delivery dates are shown as arriving in UK (which may be a day after the contractual handover date between the supplier and UK MoD - when loaded to an RAF transport at the factory gate) and arrival at the service organisation (eg Wattisham, Middle Wallop or Boscombe Down, which are likely to be where they enter service). Deliveries expected to be complete by end of 2022.
