Turkey has supplied the UK with 250,000 items of protective equipment, the Ministry of Defence has announced.
The shipment, which arrived at Oxfordshire’s Brize Norton RAF base on Friday, includes 50,000 N-95 face masks; 100,000 surgical masks; and 100,000 protective suits.
The supplies will be taken to a regional NHS distribution hub to be delivered to medical centres across the country, the MoD added.
Defence secretary Ben Wallace said:
"The delivery of this vital equipment will bring protection and relief to thousands of critical workers across the UK, as they bravely and tirelessly work to keep us safe.
It is also a tribute to the strong bilateral ties with our ally Turkey, and I am immensely grateful for their kind gesture.
As NATO Allies we can always depend on each other, whatever the threats we face.
This is just one way the UK’s Armed Forces are helping, in addition to helping to establish temporary hospitals, delivering supplies and assisting with a variety of tasks to support the NHS and other public bodies."

And here was me thinking that the forum would be interested to learn that our Turkish friends have generously provided much needed supplies in our hour of need.
Just goes to show how wrong you can be. |

i'd hate to think what that's going to cost in the future. Maybe we will send Graham Norton & Rylan Clark-Neal open a few more Turkish baths/barbers in Ankara?
