If anyone is going to the USA please send any reports in to Moray - with nearly all the military shows now cancelled and virtually no military participation at the civil shows it is going to be a very bare summer season for the military spotter in the USA. So please, no matter how small the report is’ send it off to Moray! On the UK front we Mick would really like to hear from anyone who can send in regular reports each month for some of our major bases - these are Marham, Lossiemouth and Valley where we hardly get any reports from for visitors and now we even have problems with Waddington and getting regular reports from there! So, if anyone can help (or even send in occasional reports as they all add up to a bigger and better picture) please contact Mick or myself (see details above for addresses and email addresses). With all the US Budget cut backs for Fiscal Year 2013 now beginning to bite - there are major reductions in flying hours throughout Air Combat Command with many suadrons being Stood down since April 9th through to the end of the current year in September (although quite what happens then I am not too certain! The complete list of squadrons subject to standing down orders will be in the May issue of @MAR along with all the other news from the UK, the USA, Europe and the rest of the world - if you would like to see a sample copy of MAR visit www.mar.co.uk or contact me direct at [email protected].

This study shows exactly how important that presence is, and looks ahead to the impact of future changes to Defence in the region. It is a joint effort between the MOD and a number of local partners, who have all contributed financially and by way of oversight to the research. I hope you will find this study useful.

Dear Ms Daly Ref: 17/03414/EIAMAJ - Proposed Motorway Service Area This letter is a formal objection to the above proposal submitted by .Applegreen_ The bottom line in considering this application is that it is not needed. Demand for MSAs, as defined by Highways Agency guidelines, have already been met by Moto Senrices at Kirk Deighton and the approval for the upgrade of Leeming Bar Sefvices_ In his decision letter of 2012. the Secretaly of S1ale ~ lhat the inquiry inspector had considered the spacing between Barton and Moto Services at Kirk Deighton. near Wetherby, and endorsed his condusion that one MSA would fulfil the need_ Having considered a range of options. including Kirby HiD. he ruled out the olhers and granted pennissioo for L.eenmg Bar Services to be 149a1ed to an MSA.. Construction of Motorway from Dishforth Interchange to Barton will be complete by the end of 2017_Although motorway construction from Leeming Bar to Barton was interrupted while the Government reviewed ifs poliLy. there is no reason to believe that Leeming Bar MSA will not soon be upgraded. The site, formef1y owned by County Councillor Carl Les, has been sold to an MSA developer. Having paid several million pounds for the site, it is inconceivable that it will not be developed as anMSA_ The distance from Moto Services to Leeming Bar is 26.79 mires. Moto Services to Kirby Hill is 12.32 miles.
