Britain's airlift from war-torn Sudan is underway, with the first RAF flights taking off to bring 4,000 UK citizens to safety.

An RAF C-130 transport carrier was seen on flight trackers leaving an airbase north of the capital on Tuesday morning as the operation was under way, apparently ferrying evacuees to the UK's Akrotiri airfield in Cyprus.

The plane is capable of carrying around 100 passengers at a time.
