EDITORIAL The beginning of the European Air Show season is now here, so, if you visit any shows in the UK, Europe or around the world, please send the appropriate section editor a report with as many details as possible (such as codes, units, special markings,etc). We occasionally get reports in which simply list serials and types - nice as the report is to receive it is almost useless for printing - the ideal form of show report to receive breaks the participants down into location (ie - static, flightlines, hangars, flypast, etc) and then lists the aircraft within that location giving serial, code, unit, special markings, etc. Having said all that I do realise that air shows can be very rushed events so please send whatever you record, even if it does not meet our ideal report requirements. Thank you! Moving on to a regular plea - there are not many RAF active airfields left and of those that are still open we have several of the more active ones that we rarely get movement details for. The ones in question are Marham, Leeming, Valley and Lossiemouth. We do have subscribers who live near to these bases and, perhaps when they next visit their local base, they might see enthusiasts there who spend more time spotting on a regular basis - see if they might be willing to provide regular sightings for the magazine (either via our subscriber or direct to the magazine) as this would really add to the overall UK coverage! Finally, the June issue of @MAR will include our regular articles (UK Crashes in the 1950s, UK Serials, Australian military movements, detailed Ramstein AMC movements, Unit updates for around the World and the latest news) plus a USCG ORBAT and the history of the H-19/S-55 in Spanish service. If you would like to see a sample copy of @MAR visit www.mar.co.uk or contact me direct at [email protected].

FRANCE

WHITE PAPER: After a few years of relative silence concerning new closures and transformations, in early 2013 the new white paper was published resulting in another round of heavy speculation. The paper aims to reduce the forces by 34.000 jobs by 2019 (about 4000 for the Air Force and 3000 for the Navy).

FIGHTER FLEET: The white paper suggests a reduction of the future Rafale to 225. The Mirage 2000N/5/RDI fleet will go on until 2020 while the Mirage F.1CR will be WFU by the summer of next year. The Super Etendard Modernise will be WFU in 2015. In the coming next decade, only the Mirage 2000D will eventually be operational along with the Rafale. The Mirage 2000D fleet will however be reduced when the third squadron based at Nancy is disbanded in the near future.

A.330MRTT: Instead of 14 aircraft only 12 will be ordered. Because the order is not placed and the C-135FR fleet is troubled with technical problems, the order will be placed soon.

ISR MISSION: The white paper reports that the Air Force will receive some ISR aircraft, likely to be based on the Beech King Air 350 ISR (MC-12W in USAF service). Also some Predator Bs will be ordered as armed drones are desperately needed for operations in Africa.

A.400M: The first French A.400M has made its first flight (0007/F-RBAA) and delivery is planned before 14 July (Bastille Day). Currently the second French A.400M (0008/F-RBAB) has made its first ground trials and the first flight is scheduled soon, with both to be delivered in the second half of this year.

TRANSALL: The Transall fleet is declining steadily. Currently the following 36 Transalls are still on strength: R51 R54 R55 R87 R89 R90 R91 R93 R94 R95 R96 R97 R153 R154 R157 R158 R159 R160 R201 R202 R203 R204 R205 R206 R208 R210 R211 R212 R213 R214 R215 R217 R223 R224 R225 R226 Also on service are the two Gabriel Transalls: F216 F221

CN-235M: The last CN-235M-300 200/62-HH has been delivered to Creil. All eight 300-series are now delivered, being: 193/62-HA, 194/62-HB, 195/62-HC, 196/62-HD, 197/62-HE, 198/62-HF, 199/62-HG and 200/62-HH.

RAFALE M: The white paper hints that the Marine will operate less Rafales than originally planned. The Marine will only operate 35 (instead of 60). This brings the future of 17F as the third Rafale squadron into question.

310 RAFALE B/C: The air force will eventually operate 190 Rafales, a reduction of 2 squadrons.

FIGHTER BASE CLOSURES: The reduction of the Rafale fleet brings the future of Luxeuil and Dijon in doubt. Luxeuil - based EC02.002 operating with the Mirage 2000-5 will transfer to Orange or Istre-le-Tube. Dijon - The based TBM.700 unit will be disbanded and regrouped at Bordeaux. The Alphajets of EC01.002 will move to Cazaux.

TRAINING FLEET: after a big reorganization of the frontline forces, the coming decade will see the transformation of the training fleet:- Rochefort - will close and the technical school will move to Salon de Provence. Tours - Already proposed many times in the past, but finally taking shape: the training wing of Alphajets will regroup at Cazaux under one wing by 2016. The fast jet phase I training will move to Cognac. Cognac - This base will house the phase I fast jet training in the near future. EPAA00.315 will move from Cognac to Salon de Provence. The first G-120s have already been spotted at Salon. The Epsilon WFU date is set for 2016, the same year the current contract with E-CATS (Eads Cognac Aviation Training Services in charge of maintenance and airworthiness of the Grob 120F and Epsilon fleet) comes to an end. Fast turbo training - The MoD is also studying to outsource the phase I fast jet training, with EADS being favorite providing and maintaining the future fast training phase I fleet. In the meantime DGA tested the PC-21 and evaluation of the T-6 and Super Tucano is scheduled. Insiders however suggested the PC-21 is favourite. Fast Jet Training - While the Tours based Alphajets will transfer to Cazaux, there is no word about the possible replacement of the type. The DGA is however looking closely to the RSingAF M346s currently delivered to Cazaux, as it is seen as the most likely candidate to replace the Alphajet. Around 2020 the last Alphajet should be replaced. CATS - In the meantime, last year Cassidian Aviation Training Services (CATS), a subsiduary of EADS, has been selected in a public tender to provide basic training. A fleet of 13 SR-20s will be dedicated for training pilots at Salon de Provence. An additional fleet of seven Cirrus SR-22s will be used to train navigating officers (NOSA) and liaison flights. Through the agreement, another fleet of 3 Cirrus SR-20s will be training students at Naval base Lanvéoc. The fleet is as follows: SR-20: 152/F-HGDU 185/F-HKCB 186/F-HKCD 187/F-HKCE 188/F-HKCG 189/F-HKCH 190/F-HKCJ 192/F-HKCK 193/F-HKCM 195/F-HKCN 196/F-HKCP 197/F-HKCQ 198/F-HKCT 199/F-HKCU 214/F-HKCV 215/F-HKCX SR-22: 862/F-HKCA 874/F-HKCF 875/F-HKCI 877/F-HKCL 878/F-HKCO 881/F-HKCR 884/F-HKCS The Cirrus will replace the Marine Rallye 100s and Air Force D.140s. As there is no replacement yet for the glider tow task, some Jodels will remain in service.

E-2C: The fourth E-2 Hawkeye (secondhand USN example) will not be ordered. Also the purchase of some ex USN C-2A greyhounds is no longer being considered. The use of USN C-2As during specific operations will likely contine (as seen during the Libya conflict).

NH90TTH: The contract for the second batch of 34 NH90-TTHs was finally placed in late May, originally planned in 2010, bringing the total to 68 for the Army.

ARMY HELICOPTERS: The army will eventually operate 140 attack/reconnaissance helicopters: Tigre HAP / HAD and SA.342M1 / L1 Gazelle. Concerning the tactical transport fleet it will eventually consist of 115 helicopters: NH90TTH, AS532UL+ and EC-725AP. Etain will be closed in the near future. Phalsbourg, - new hangars are being currently being built to house the NH90TTH fleet - and Pau - housing the Tigre fleet - will remain as the two major frontline ALAT air bases.

TIGRE HAD: With all 40 ALAT Tigre HAPs manufactured, the first production HAD Tigres are ready to join the French Army. Currently 6003 through 6006 are test flying, while EC-665D 6002/F-MBJB was delivered to GAM-STAT Valence for further trials. HAD 6001 is used as a test bed by DGA and Eurocopter.

TBM.700: already proposed many times in the past, regrouping the army TBM.700’s with those from the air force is once again on the list.

CFIA: The delivery of the NH90TTH to CFIA at Le Luc is proceeding steadiily. Four are currently delivered (1271/EAC, 1273/EAD, 1290/EAE, 1291/EAF) while two (1292/EAG & 1293/EAH) will follow soon. GAM-STAT has 1256/EAB on trails while 1239/EAA is used as test bed by the DGA and Eurocopter.

SECURITE CIVILE: At the start of this year it was officially announced by the minister of home affairs that the fixed-wing fleet will move to Nimes by 2016. This is a somewhat surprising decision as Salon-de-Provence was considered by experts as favourite. The recent decision to move the initial training phase from Cognac to Salon explains however this decision. Both the civil airport authorities and Eurocopter are interested in buying the ground for expansion.

MIRAGE 2000-5: On 05.06 Mirage 2000-5 73/116-ES crashed near Luxeuil - the pilot ejected safely.
