EDITORIAL Welcome to a New Year of MAR - let us hope this one will be a better one for the aviation enthusiast! So far we have a full year of US Military Air Shows to look forward to, providing the US political parties refrain from bringing the US Government to a halt as they did in 2013. From the UK’s perspective, 2014 will see the loss of one major military airshow with the demise of the Leuchars show (the good old Battle of Britain display as it used to be) and no sign of any other RAF airfield taking up the challenge to replace it. This issue of MAR sees the annual UK Review by Mick Boulanger with the 2013 Index being held over until the February magazine - however, a PDF version can be downloaded now from the MAR web site for those who have access. All members who take the paper version of MAR are also entitled to receive the PDF version free - all you need is internet access. If you are not currently getting this free option then please contact me at [email protected] and advise me of your email address to use and we will arrange for you to get the PDF version. The PDF version is identical to the paper version of MAR but it does have an additional photo section and you get it at least a week earlier than the posted paper magazine. In addition, we also publish @MAR every month at a cost of £20 per year. This PDF is only available via the internet and covers both modern and historical topics from all over the world and is also profusely illustrated with B&W and Colour photos. If you would like to receive a free copy of @MAR (and the monthly AMARG listing that comes with it) please email me at [email protected] and I will forward one.

2 BRITISH REVIEW As another year starts, and more changes are coming to light with the assets of the RAF. The stunning Tristar transport aircraft will be withdrawn and scrapped during 2014. It is thought that the first Tristar to depart 216 Sqn Brize Norton should be ZD952 on either 22nd or 26th January to Kemble for parting out. Another one will go mid February, and then one a week will depart until they have all gone and 216 Squadron passes into the history books as it is being disbanded on 31st March 2014. Another part of history will go during March 2014 when Church Fenton finally closes. Having first opened in 1937 the base has been home to various units including the first “Eagle Squadron” of American volunteers during WWII. It was home to the infamous Jet Provost for seventeen years with 7 FTS. Finally it was home to the Yorkshire UAS Tutors which transferred to Linton-on-Ouse on 19.12.2013. Even the Royal Navy has not escaped the changes. On 20.12.2013 848 Naval Air Squadron Yeovilton has disbanded, the Naval Air Squadron will reform during 2015 to take on the remaining Sea King HC.4’s until their out of service date......

WIESBADEN, GERMANY: Visitors in December included - 02 87-24583 UH-60A(C) HQ SHAPE 12 84-0180 C-12U E/52 AVN 05 94-0523 C-12V from USA n/s 17 94-0326 C-12V to USA n/s 08 84-0143 C-12U from USA n/s 18 01-0030 C-37A 6 AMW 310 AS n/s
The aircraft assigned to the US Army units in Europe are listed in this issue but some additional notes are detailed below - Co B/1 MIB (AE) The listing includes 92-13122 which is currently in the USA on an upgrade to full RC-12X standard. Only
C-12U 84-0173 and RC-12Xs 92-13123 & 92-13125 are currently based at Wiesbaden, the remainder are in Afghanistan. Two of the aircraft, 93-0698 and 93-0700, are on the allocation but have never been reported at Wiesbaden (direct deliveries to Afghanistan?) Co D/52 Avn Rgt the following are CMWS equipped for operations in high threat area C-12U: 84-0156 84-0161 84-0165 UC-35A: 97-0101 97-0102 97-0105 99-0102
Note that in the Army rundown there are 3 UC-35As allocated to Co E/52 Avn, these aircraft are actually based at Wiesbaden and this appears to be a paper allocation. Although we have shown those allocated to E/52 Avn in the listing we will continue to report them as D/52 Avn (unless we actually receive evidence from our members that the flight crews are wearing E/52 Avn shoulder patches). UC-35A 97-0102 is currently deployed to Kuwait. C-12U 84-0162 is currently in Alabama (departing on May 3rd) and will return after maintenance.
Co G/52 Avn Rgt Usually 2 or 3 of the UH-60As are detached elsewhere - suchas SHAPE, Stuttgart or Grafenwohr.

FRANCE (28) Châteaudun – The identity of the Mirage IIIE with painted-on identity 320 which is in the scrapping area adjacent to the Nivouville site has been the subject of recent discussion. First noted here in May 2005, research indicates that it was blown up during the filming of the movie “Les Chevaliers du Ciel”, which actually featured Mirage 2000s. One good candidate is Mirage IIIE 479/3-XG, which was l/n at Châteaudun in September 2004. It is the only Mirage IIIE from here which disappeared with no known fate. For a photo, see:
