(29 Aug 2021) A military aircraft touched down at RAF Brize Norton on Sunday evening, effectively completing U.K.'s departure from Afghanistan.
Military planes carrying British troops and diplomats from Kabul have been arriving in the U.K. throughout Sunday, ending Britain's 20-year military involvement in Afghanistan.
The U.K. ambassador to Afghanistan, Laurie Bristow, was among those who arrived at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire, hours after the government announced that all British personnel had left Kabul.
Britain says it has evacuated more than 15,000 U.K. citizens and vulnerable Afghans in the past two weeks but that as many as 1,100 Afghans who were entitled to come to the U.K. have been left behind.
