EDITORIAL As happened last month, we have had to hold many Foreign Forces reports over to the next issue - but still managed to get 15 pages of European reports in! Hopefully, the August issue will allow more pages for the Foreign Section and allow us to catch up with all the non European reports that are building up. I expect the UK Section next month will be somewhat reduced (and for the September issue as well) as we only have the Farnborough Show of any size to report on and then we are into the Olympics and the summer holidays when, traditionally, movements at bases are much reduced. Of course, if we had an internet based magazine then we could easily add extra pages to ensure all the reports received were included each month. However, we do not and we are restricted by page numbers and weight of the magazine to 64 pages for the paper version of MAR. Much as I would like to stop the paper version of MAR, I do realise that a large number of our readers prefer the paper version - either by choice or because they do not have internet access - and as a result of our production change earlier this year we will be able to continue producing a paper version. As I said last month, the rates for Europe and Outside Europe will have to rise due to the significantly increased postage charges, however, I expect the UK rates will be kept at the same levels as for 2012! Again, an apology for the lack of credits this month due to a lack of free space for them - they are all being added together and, hopefully, they will appear in the August magazine. Not a lot more to say this month - please keep sending all the extra photographs as these are very welcome, readers of the paper MAR may not benefit but you do see more pictures in the PDF version.

354 BRITISH REVIEW I start this section this month with the sad news that on 03rd July two Tornado GR.4s from 15(F) Sqn crashed in bad weather in the Moray Firth, 25 miles south of Wick. Sadly two crew members are missing presumed dead. While the second crew ejected and were rescued but one crew member later died of his injuries. The remaining crew member is seriously ill in hospital and at this time our thoughts are with him and all the families involved. Another aircraft type has finally gone during July, without ceremony that is, are the last four Tornado F.3s ZE203/GA, ZE794/FL, ZE961/HB and ZH552/HW from QinetiQ Boscombe Down they arrived at Leeming for reduction to spares and produce. The Armed Forces Minister has announced that the Red Arrows will remain at Scampton; they were going to move to Waddington during 2014. It was announced at this year’s Royal International Air Tattoo, Fairford that the A.400M transport aircraft, of which the RAF have ordered 22 aircraft, will be named the Atlas. The first example is expected to be delivered during 2014. The FSTA service has decided that further A330/Voyager conversions which were planned to have been performed by Cobham Aviation Services at Hurn Airport Bournemouth will instead be completed by Airbus Militarty at its Getafé plant near Madrid, Spain. Aircraft three and four will continue to be converted at Hurn, but the remaining 10 aircraft will be converted in Spain.

DASSAULT RAFALE: Currently the pictures is as follows: < 2012 2012 2013 2014 2014 > Total B ordered 63 47 110 delivered 38 4 8 60 110 C ordered 69 49 118 delivered 33 7 5 1 72 118 M ordered 48 10 58 delivered 33 4 2 2 17 58 At the start of 2012 104 Rafales were delivered, of the total of 286 ordered. Yearly 11 Rafales are scheduled to be delivered.
DASSAULT MIRAGE F.1 FLEET: With the WFU date set, the CEV and CEAM have ceased F.1 operations. To date only EC02.033 operates a mix of Mirage F.1CT, F.1B and F.1CR. The current fleet is as follows: EC02.033 25x Mirage F1 (16x F1CR, 4x F1B and 5x F1CT) Mirage F.1CR: 604/118-CF 605/118-CO 607/118-ND 616/118-NX 617/118-NE 620/118-CT 379 634/118-CK 638/118-CD 645/118-CH 647/118-CB 649/118-CR 653/118-CV 655/118-FB 659/118-NT 660/118-CY 661/118-NK In active storage are: 640/118-NV, 642/118-CG, 643/118-CE, 654/118-NC, 657/118-CL and 662/118-NF. Long term storage are: 606/CU, 611/NM, 614/NR, 622/FA, 627/NA, 630/CN, 635/NP and 658/NQ. The WFU date for the F.1CR is set for summer 2014. Mirage F.1B: 502/118-SW 504/118-ST 509/118-SD 517/118-SC In active storage are 514/118-SA and 519/118-MY. Long term stored are 507/SE, 510/SL, 513/SV and 518/SR. The last F.1B flight is foreseen for late 2013. Mirage F.1CT: 223/118-QX 229/118-QW 242/118-QA 279/118-QL 280/118-QD In active storage are 226/QS, 271/QQ, 273/QF, 274/QJ. In long term storage are: 220/QU, 232/QM, 241/AT, 243/QV, 253/QU, 255/SC, 257/SF, 265/QG and 272/QZ. It is unlikely that the long term Mirage F.1CT fleet will be operational again for the French forces as the WFU date is set for later this year.
DASSAULT MIRAGE F.1 FOR SALE: After the unsuccessful sale of 18 retrofitted Mirage F.1CT and F.1B to Iraq and the US Air Force (for aggressor use) in 2011, 25 Mirage F.1 are now offered to Libya, including 5 F.1Bs. It is also likely that - with the WFU of the French fleet - Morocco will get a few Mirage F.1Bs. Morocco does not operate the training variant of the F.1 as the Moroccan cadets get their training in France.
AIRBUS A.400M: The program seems finally on track. EADS Military announced planned delivery of the first French A.400M for December 2012 is possible, several months ahead of schedule. Construction work on the first French A.400M (MSN 7) began on 23rd November 2011, with first flight planned for the third quarter of 2012. MSN 7 will first undergo extended flight tests with the DGA. The date EADS wants to deliver is 11th December, three years after the first flight of the A.400M. In the meantime pilot training will be done on MSN 6 ‘F-WWMZ’. This machine arrived on 24th April at Orleans for infrastructure trails. For this occasion the Airbus was zapped with an ET03.061 badge. The second French aircraft (MSN 8) is planned for delivery in the second quarter of 2013 - final assembly began on March 9th, first flight planned late 2012. Five other French aircraft (MSN 10, 11, 12, 15, 19) are already in different stages on the production line. By 2014 8 aircraft should be delivered, 35 by late 2020, the last (No 50) is planned for 2024.
EUROCOPTER EC-725R2: Three EC-725R2s will be delivered this year (F-UGSI, F-UGSJ and F-UGSK). EC-725 F-UGSG (c/n 2770) and F-UGSH (c/n 2772) were delivered to GAM00.056 at Evreux last year.
CASA CN-235M: Also foreseen this year is the delivery of the last 5 CN-235M. Three CN-235s were delivered last year being: 193/62-HA, 194/62-HB and 195/62-HC.
PILATUS PC-21TRIALS: At the start of April the DGA tested the PC-21 at Istres as possible replacement for the Epsilon and (a part of) the Alphajet fleet. The decision is however not foreseen before 2016.
DASSAULT ALPHAJET M: In the meantime, the modernisation of 20 Alphajets continues well. Currently the following Alphajets are confirmed undergoing modernisation: E101, E131 (prototype), E154, E157 and E164. In total 20 Alphajets will be modernised operating alongside the 28 modernised Belgian Alphajets from Cazaux. The upgraded fleet will continue operations until 2022 - 2025.
EUROCOPTER COUGAR: Also the modernisation of the Cougar is continuing. This year, 5 AS.532UL+ will be delivered to the Army. Besides the 23 Army machines, also the 3 Air Force Cougars operated by GAM will be upgraded. As the EC-225 will eventually take over the VIP role it is likely that the 3 GAM machines will be transferred to the Army after their modernisation in the future bringing the ALAT fleet to 26 Cougars.
NHI NH90TTH: - 34 machines are ordered to date. This year another batch of 34 NH90 will be ordered. A fleet of 133 TTH is foreseen. 4 examples will be delivered this year.
NHI NH90NFH: - To date 6 NH90s are delivered (2 - 7). Another 4 examples are to be delivered this year.
EUROCOPTER TIGRE: This year will see the delivery of the first 2 Tigre HADs to the Army. In total 6 Tigres will be de delivered this year (incl 4 HADs).
AEROSPATIALE GAZELLE: After Tunisia and Iraq, Niger will receive some surplus ALAT SA342Ms. Overhaul is currently done at Aerotec at Valence.
AIRBUS C-295M: Late May EADS Military showcased the C-295M (EC-296) water bomber-variant to the Sécurité Civile at Marig- nane as a possible replacement for the Tracker. The SC is also interested in a fleet EC-225LPs. Talks are planned later this year with the newly installed government to seek budget funds.
380 LH-10 ELLIPSE: Besides the C.-295, the service has also shown interest in the LH-10 Ellipse for surveillance missions. This summer the Sécurité Civile will test the LH-10.
