RAF plane carrying PPE for NHS staff lands in UK from TurkeyThe consignment, said to include 400,000 gowns, was initially meant to arrive on Sunday. Not surprised. Turkey is an administrative nightmare. Chartering a plane to collect stuff would be a colossal task. Much easier to have our RAF speak with theirs to arrange. Lesson learned for all.

RAF plane lands with PPE from TurkeyRAF aircraft lands in UK with delayed delivery of personal protective equipment from Turkey amid a row over a shortage of PPE in the NHS night What would be great if you can name all those hospitals who say they are short of what type of PPE.
