RAF planes bound for Libya perform mid-air refuel

British Royal Air Force (RAF) planes took off from Brize Norton air base in the UK on Tuesday to refuel Tornados operating over Libya to enforce the no-fly zone.

Many of the planes are refuelling over Cyprus, which hosts two British bases, but which has said it does not want any involvement in military operations over Libya.
