A Royal Air Force Boeing C-17 Globemaster III transport plane landed yesterday morning at Cristiano Ronaldo International Airport.
It is believed that the aircraft flew to Madeira to collect a high ranking Army Officer. However, no further information has been forthcoming.
The C-17 Globemaster III entered service in 2001, and the RAF currently operate 8 aircraft.
