EDITORIAL As I mentioned last month, you will find a 2013 Renewal Form with this issue of MAR - for those who only take the PDF version of MAR you will find the Renewal Form at the back of the September issue and also as a stand alone PDF page on the MAR Web Site in the MAR PDF file, for you to download. All renewals can be made direct to the MAR address above and we accept cheques payable to “MAP”or payments by Visa/Mastercard Credit and Debit Cards. Alternatively, you can subscribe on line at “www.mar.co.uk” and use the Pay Pal facility which accepts virtually any card you can think of (Please when paying via the Web Site click on to the Pay Pal Payment button - DO NOT USE the credit account facility). When filling in your email address on the renewal form please write it as it appears using capital letters only if capital letters are actually part of the address and clearly showing “.”/”-” and “_” as these are the biggest problem when hand written. As I said last month, the 2013 rates for the MAR PDF version, @MAR and the UK paper MAR are all the same as for 2012, however, we have had to increase the rates for the paper version of MAR to Europe and to Elsewhere in the World due to the big increases made by the Royal Mail in April 2012. I do recommend that you consider going over to the PDF version downloaded from the MAR web site as it is considerably cheaper, you will receive it up to 2 weeks quicker and it contains more photo pages! Finally, an apology for not publishing movements for a number of the US airfields in Europe for the last two months - eg Lajes, Aviano, Spangdahlem, Rota, Moron and Sigonella - we should be catching up with them in the October issue of MAR!

484 101 Sqn VC-10 C.1K/K.3/K.4 On 28.08 three VC-10s were to make a formation flight around the United Kingdom to mark the contribution the VC-10 has made over the last 46 years and to mark the 50th Anniversary of its first flight. The original idea was for a C.1K, K.3 and a K.4 to make the formation as these are the sole remaining operational VC.10 types. But unfortunately ZD241/N the last remaining K.4 aircraft was unable to fly due to unserviceability, so it was replaced by C.1K XV108/Y. The formation consisted of C.1Ks XR808/R (Special Marks), XV108/Y and K.3 ZA147/F. Their call sign was “Tartan 21” and the route took them from Brize Norton at 08.50, along the Lichfield corridor out to the North Sea.
