It flew in to Gloucestershire from Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene, Texas on Friday ahead of the first B1-bomber to land from the 7 Bomb Wing that is based there. The US President warned Iran this week that 'the big one' was coming, adding: 'We haven't even started hitting them hard. The US Air Force says on its website: 'Carrying the largest conventional payload of both guided and unguided weapons in the Air Force inventory, the multi-mission B-1 is the backbone of America's long-range bomber force. They are the backbone of America's long-range bomber force and according to the US Air Force can 'rapidly deliver massive quantities of precision and non-precision weapons against any adversary, anywhere in the world, at any time'.
