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. COVER PHOTOGRAPH: Qatari AF Westland Commando 3 QA30 overflying Doha on December 18th during the National Day Flypast )Simon Grigor) Closing date for the February issue is 08.02.14 Brian Pickering 12.01.14 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 The stunning Tristar transport aircraft will be withdrawn and scrapped during 2014.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........Mick Boulanger (Military movements is history, now and for our future) BELFAST CITY AIRPORT- Military visitor noted during November: - 21st 258 Learjet 45 IAC “IRL258V” BIGGIN HILL - Military visitors noted during October: - 04 XZ653 Lynx AH.7 9 Regt “AAC907” 31 014 C-295M Polish AF 13 ELT “PLF034” 10 024 C-295M Polish AF 13 ELT “PLF034” BIRMINGHAM AIRPORT - Military visitor noted during December: - 17th ZD950 Tristar KC.1 216 Sqn “RRR3998/9” BLACKPOOL AIRPORT - Military visitors noted during October: - 05 XZ594 Sea King HAR.3 202 Sqn E Flt “SRG128” 23 ZB679 Gazelle AH.1 665 Sqn “AAC569” dep 25th 08 ZB679 Gazelle AH.1 665 Sqn “AAC543” ZG996 Defender AL.1 651 Sqn “AAC581” ZK458/D King Air 200GT 45(R) Sqn “CWL84”* 24 ZH003 Defender AL.2 651 Sqn “AAC528” ZK022/M Hawk T.2 4(R) Sqn “VYT72”* 25 ZB679 Gazelle AH.1 665 Sqn “AAC569” ZK012/C Hawk T.2 4(R) Sqn “VYT74” 29 XX156/156 Hawk T.1A 208(R) Sqn “VYT25”* 14 ZK035/Z Hawk T.2 4(R) Sqn “VYT94”* 30 ZJ184 Apache AH.1 3 Regt “Stalker” XX202/CF Hawk T.1A 100 Sqn “Pirate04”* ZJ225 Apache AH.1 3 Regt “Stalker” 17 XX218/218 Hawk T.1A 208(R) Sqn “VYT55”* 31 XZ320 Gazelle AH.1 665 Sqn “AAC553” ZH001 Defender AL.1 651 Sqn “AAC070”* BOURNEMOUTH HURN AIRPORT - Military visitors noted during December: - (With thanks to BAEG) 03 ZA297/W Sea King HC.4 848NAS “Avenger965”* “FMY8040/42” n/s ZH871/871 Hercules C.4 24/30/47 Sqn “Zorro Form” 11 XW216 Puma HC.2 QinetiQ “Gauntlet26”* ZH879/879 Hercules C.4 24/30/47 Sqn “Zorro Form” 12 N-233 NH90-NFH KLu 860 Sqn “NN836”* XZ723/641 Lynx HMA.8SRU 702NAS “Skua371”* 13 ZH879/879 Hercules C.4 24/30/47 Sqn “RRR133” 05 ZJ118/B Merlin HC.3 28/78 Sqn* 17 ZH898 Chinook HC.3 Odiham Wg “SHF547” 10 ZH879/879 Hercules C.4 24/30/47 Sqn “RRR125” ZJ785 AS.365N3 658 Sqn “1RM10” ZA293/A Sea King HC.4 848NAS “Avenger933”* 19 ZA713 Chinook HC.4 Odiham Wg “SHF572” 99/ABO TMB.700A ALAT “EAAT” BRISTOL LULSGATE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT- Militaryvisitor noted during October: - 09th ZR322 A-109E 32(TR) Sqn “RRR1243” and during November: - 23rd ZE396 BAe 125 CC.3 32(TR) Sqn “NOH26”* RAF BRIZE NORTON – Additional Military visitors noted during November and then December: - November December 10 ZR322 A-109E 32(TR) Sqn 03 ZE396 BAe 125 CC.3 32(TR) Sqn “NOH34 14 ZJ124/H Merlin HC.3 28/78 Sqn /RRR1127” (until 05.12) 21 ZZ503 Avenger T.1 750NAS 05 165829 C-40A VR-58 “CNV4241” n/s 25 KAF325 L100-30 Kuwait AF 41 Sqn 06 ZE700 BAe146 CC.2 32(TR) Sqn “KRF01R 26 ZF338/338 Tucano T.1 1 FTS /RRR1019” ZF287/287 Tucano T.1 1 FTS 09 B-583 C-130J-30 RDAF Esk 721 “DAF4701” ZF289/289 Tucano T.1 1 FTS ZE700 BAe146 CC.2 32(TR) Sqn “RRR1895” ZJ252/52 Squirrel HT.2 670 Sqn XX158/158 Hawk T.1A 208(R) Sqn 28 ZH902 Chinook HC.3 Odiham Wing 10 ZE395 BAe 125 CC.3 32(TR) Sqn 29 ZJ221 Apache AH.1 3 Regt ZJ785 AS.365N3 658 Sqn ZJ226 Apache AH.1 4 Regt 12 ZE378 Lynx AH.7 657 Sqn G-988 C-130H KLu 336 Sqn XZ651 Lynx AH.7 657 Sqn 3 13 ZJ235/I Griffin HT.1 60(R) Sqn 17 ZJ195 Apache AH.1 4 Regt ZG916 Lynx AH.9A 9 Regt 18 ZA705/AN Chinook HC.2 Odiham Wing 14 ZG846 Islander AL.1 651 Sqn “AAC582” 20 ZE700 BAe146 CC.2 32(TR) Sqn “KRF10 16 R159/61-ZY Transall FrAF ET00.0061 “CTM2020” /RRR1623” n/s ZZ503 Avenger T.1 750NAS 23 ZE700 BAe146 CC.2 32(TR) Sqn “RRR1623” 17 ZJ193 Apache AH.1 3 Regt 30 ZA670/AA Chinook HC.4 Odiham Wing Residents notes 24/30/47 Sqn Hercules C.4/C.5 ZH871/871 has arrived back from Marshall Aerospace on 26.11 to 24/30/47 Sqn (departed on 31.05.2013) ZH879/879 has departed from 24/30/47 Sqn on 24.12 to Marshall Aerospace, Cambridge for servicing ZH884/884 has departed from 24/30/47 Sqn on 20.11 to Marshall Aerospace, Cambridge for servicing CAMBRIDGE AIRPORT - Small correction has been received for October’s departures;

  • Knights of Columbus Frances Cabrini Council 8879
    Knights of Columbus Frances Cabrini Council 8879 1 EDITOR’S NOTE Several years ago we ran a series of biographies in the council newsletter called “KNOW YOUR KNIGHTS”. A few of our Knights asked me to consolidate them into a booklet form and make them available to all members, especially our new members who may not have read the series when it was published. It is also hoped that it will encourage our members who have not submitted a biography to do so. Most biographies were submitted between 2002 and 2004, so keep that in mind if you think they are rather “dated” when you read them. In the case of “Fallen Knights”, I have done some editing for obvious reasons. The dates that appear on the CONTENTS page are the month they appeared in our newsletter. If you would like to add your life’s “story” to our collection, just send it to me via email or snail mail, and I’ll make sure it is in the next edition.

  • TAA / Australian Airlines 25 Year Club Newsletter
    TAA / Australian Airlines 25 Year Club Newsletter No. 104 December 2019 Editor: John Wren President’s Report We should find out about the plans for QF’s 100th birthday celebrations in early 2020 [the actual birthday is in November 2020 but they are using the whole year to maximise the exposure]. We are hopeful that the TAA Museum will be able to participate with a special display of QF historical material and memorabilia. More later. The Tour Groups to the Museum have just started to slow down ahead of our closure for the festive season. Thursday pm the 5th December is our last day for 2019 – open again on Tuesday 4th February. We welcome Geoff and Vicki Kerton to the Museum as Volunteers. Just a friendly reminder if you are having a clean up at home, or downsizing, we will look after your donations of TAA and Australian Airlines memorabilia at the Museum. It would be a shame to have the family throw it out. The Museum has upgraded all its computers to Windows 10 as Windows 7 will no longer be supported by Microsoft from early January. You might look at your own situation at home. An Age [24/10/19] review of Hawaiian Airlines concluded with “native birdsong plays on entry and exit, and traditional Hawaiian music as your coming in to land. This airline is also lucky – in 1941 one of the airlines old eight seater Sikorsky’s was hit by Japanese fire at Pearl Harbour, which set an engine alight. Another stray bullet, however, hit a fire extinguisher, which put out the blaze! Well, it’s another year gone with 2020 just around the corner.
