Photographed on assignment for Bloomberg News at RAF Lossiemouth in northern Scotland, this series accompanies a story on Britain's growing role in monitoring Russian military activity in the North Atlantic.

From the base, Royal Air Force crews fly Poseidon MRA1 aircraft tasked with searching vast areas of ocean for submarines, while Typhoon fighter jets stand ready to intercept aircraft approaching UK airspace.
