David Cameron met Tornado pilots from RAF Lossiemouth in Scotland
Prime Minister David Cameron has made an unannounced visit to UK troops in Afghanistan.
But due to a dust storm, he was unable to fly to Camp Bastion - the main British base - and was diverted to the Nato base in Kandahar.
There he met British Tornado pilots - some of the 9,500 UK troops currently serving in the country.
The trip came as the government said it was creating a cabinet committee with responsibility for the armed forces.
Mr Cameron will chair the first meeting early in the new year.
Speaking to reporters in Kandahar, the PM discussed the role the committee would play in a new cross-government effort to improve the welfare of British troops, and repeated his commitment that the UK's combat role in Afghanistan would be over by the end of 2014.
