Another Spitfire replica has been created to depict EN398. The plan for this one is to erect it on a pole in Salisbury to commemorate all those who built the Spitfire in secret at various locations near and in the city. For more information, head here: https://www.secretspitfires.com/ 2. As has been widely published, Sea Fury WG655 was badly damaged in a forced landing at Harston, Cambs on 4 August 2020. 3. Jupiter HT1s G—CLKO, G-CLKP and G-CLKS were cancelled from the UK register on 19 August 2020 and shortly after two were delivered to RAF Valley for 202 Squadron, with ZM501 returning to Shawbury. 4. Reports are surfacing of four T-6C Texan T1s in an additional order for the RAF, with several being seen flying in the US in colours akin to the machines used at Valley. It appears that two will be delivered before the end of the year.

  • Kings RAF Booklet
    Combined Cadet Force Royal Air Force A Commissioning Aide Memoire for the Officer Cadre Version 1 “Where else could you learn to fly aerobatics, visit Royal Air Force Stations, tour foreign countries, play sports from local to international level, learn the skills to lead expeditions, become a target shooting marksman, gain your Duke of Edinburgh Awards, canoe through white water, assist your community, join a band, learn aviation subjects, go caving, parachute, climb, sail, ski...? These and much more are readily available to you as a member of the Air Cadet Organization.” Air Commodore Jon Chitty OBE. Introduction The school cadet organisation originates from 1859, when schools at Eton, Harrow, Rugby, Rossall, Felsted, Hurstpierpoint, Winchester and Tonbridge formed armed uniformed units as part of a national reserve to counter a perceived threat from abroad. By 1900, cadet units were established in over 100 schools across the country and in 1908, these units were re-titled the Officer Training Corps (OTC). In 1948, the OTC was renamed the Combined Cadet Force. The aim of the Combined Cadet Force is to provide a framework through which young people develop the qualities of team work, self-reliance, resourcefulness, leadership and responsibility. A weekly programme of military training is designed to give young people at King’s a chance to exercise responsibility and leadership, to provide them with knowledge of our defence forces, and to encourage those who might be interested in becoming officers of the Armed Services. Uniform members of the Combined Cadet Force will regularly stay on Royal Air Forces bases, therefore it is important that cadets are able to demonstrate an awareness of the structure and organisation of the Royal Air Force, its role in the defence of the United Kingdom and her interests and the operations in which the Royal Air Force are currently engaged.

  • St Athan Development Brief July 2006
    St Athan Development Brief July 2006 i Executive Summary • The Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) is currently promoting the development of the St Athan site as a major centre of excellence in the economy. • The Ministry of Defence (MoD) is seeking to provide a streamlined and more efficient training programme for the three Services via a Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement under the MoD’s Defence Training Review (DTR). • Metrix, in association with the WAG, is bidding to bring a major part of this training provision to South Wales and the St Athan site. • The site at St Athan meets the requirements for delivering a world-class Training Academy alongside the Welsh Assembly Government and WDA’s proposals to create an Aerospace Centre of Excellence. • Redevelopment at St Athan would provide inward investment and local jobs in an area that has seen recent job losses. • The Training Academy and the Aerospace Centre of Excellence can be accommodated on the St Athan site and would be complementary. • Due to the scale of the development being proposed, the proposed Training Academy would be able to incorporate the recently completed Super-Hangar at St Athan and therefore maintain a beneficial use for this building. • The Training Academy will result in about 4,000 “jobs” being brought to and created on the site, of which about 2.300 will be civilians employed at the Academy, plus another 1,500 new jobs being created outside the site as a result of indirect or induced employment. • St Athan was the largest station in the RAF in terms of personnel from about 1940 to the end of the millennium and, at its peak, there were 14,000 personnel present on the site, compared to the 10,000 personnel now proposed for the Training Academy.
