    RAF News Brief 2019/2 Organisation Operational Service Medal In 2017, Her Majesty The Queen agreed the introduction of a new Operational Service Medal (OSM) for Op SHADER. In February 2019, Her Majesty The Queen graciously approved an extension of the medal without clasp for personnel assessed as making a significant and direct operational contribution, but outside the joint operational area for Op SHADER. Under new rules, personnel from all three services serving from outside the traditional area of operations, such as operators of RAF Reaper Remotely Piloted Air System (RPAS) aircraft, can now receive the Op SHADER medal without clasp. The award of the medal reflects the changing nature of modern conflict and recognises the vital contribution that personnel working from outside the operational area of Iraq and Syria have made to the campaign. This will be the first time that RPAS crews have received formal medallic recognition. Ground crew serving at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, where UK airstrikes over Iraq and Syria are launched from are also eligible, as well as Army and Navy personnel providing logistic and communications support. Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Sir Stephen Hillier, said: “I am delighted to see this wider recognition of the RAF’s vital contribution to Op SHADER. Under the previous criteria, only about 14% of RAF personnel who had supported Op SHADER were entitled to receive the OSM. Under the new criteria, that proportion rises to over two-thirds. I extend my personal thanks and congratulations to all those who will now receive the OSM for their outstanding Op SHADER contribution.” Update on Defence Estate Optimisation Programme The MOD published an update to the Defence Estate Optimisation Programme in March 2019, setting new information for 33 military sites across the UK.

  • Kings RAF Booklet
    Combined Cadet Force Royal Air Force A Commissioning Aide Memoire for the Officer Cadre Version 1 “Where else could you learn to fly aerobatics, visit Royal Air Force Stations, tour foreign countries, play sports from local to international level, learn the skills to lead expeditions, become a target shooting marksman, gain your Duke of Edinburgh Awards, canoe through white water, assist your community, join a band, learn aviation subjects, go caving, parachute, climb, sail, ski...? These and much more are readily available to you as a member of the Air Cadet Organization.” Air Commodore Jon Chitty OBE. Introduction The school cadet organisation originates from 1859, when schools at Eton, Harrow, Rugby, Rossall, Felsted, Hurstpierpoint, Winchester and Tonbridge formed armed uniformed units as part of a national reserve to counter a perceived threat from abroad. By 1900, cadet units were established in over 100 schools across the country and in 1908, these units were re-titled the Officer Training Corps (OTC). In 1948, the OTC was renamed the Combined Cadet Force. The aim of the Combined Cadet Force is to provide a framework through which young people develop the qualities of team work, self-reliance, resourcefulness, leadership and responsibility. A weekly programme of military training is designed to give young people at King’s a chance to exercise responsibility and leadership, to provide them with knowledge of our defence forces, and to encourage those who might be interested in becoming officers of the Armed Services. Uniform members of the Combined Cadet Force will regularly stay on Royal Air Forces bases, therefore it is important that cadets are able to demonstrate an awareness of the structure and organisation of the Royal Air Force, its role in the defence of the United Kingdom and her interests and the operations in which the Royal Air Force are currently engaged.

    RAF Football Association - E-Bulletin RAF FA CUP ‘THE KEITH CHRISTIE TROPHY’ AND RAF FA PLATE 19/20 UPDATE With the RAF Cup now in full swing, the second round produced some more exciting ties and saw some big names exit the competition. RAF Leeming’s away trip to Akrotiri was the eagerly anticipated tie of the round, however it proved to be a tough trip for the visitors as they were on the receiving end of a heavy 5-1 defeat. SAC Liam Thornton grabbed four of the goals, taking his overall tally to six and making him the current top scorer in the competition. RAF Brize Norton faced the long journey up to Lossiemouth and it proved to be successful as they ground out a 1-0 win with Sgt Dave Wanless scoring the all-important goal, Brize Norton will be hoping for a slightly shorter journey if they are drawn away in the next round. SAC Liam Wood scored his first two goals of the competition helping RAF Northolt to an away win at Wyton with RAF Coningsby also picking up a convincing away victory running out 4-0 winner against JFC Chicksands & RAF Henlow. RAF Honington who have a great history with the competition were knocked out at the hands of RAF Odiham thanks to a single goal from SAC Clarke Goulding. RAF FA E-Bulletin – RAF Cup Update Elsewhere, RAF Shawbury and RAF Marham both scored four goals each to take them through with victories over MOD St Athan and RAF Waddington respectively. RAF Boulmer also strolled through to the next round with an impressive 7-1 victory over RAF Cranwell.

  • There Had Been an RAF Communications Squadron in Germany Since 1944
    8 Pembroke-Andover Era 1969 - 77 There had been an RAF communications squadron in Germany since 1944. In preparation for the invasion of France a unit had been formed in July 1943 at what is now Blackbushe Airport but was then known as RAF Hartford Bridge. Initially called the 2nd Tactical Air Force Communications Flight, it transferred to RAF Northolt in April 1944, then followed the invading forces, operating in France, Belgium and eventually Germany, establishing itself at RAF Buckeberg in May 1945, where it was to remain for almost ten years. ‘Communications’, in this context, are nothing to do with radios or telephones. A ‘communications squadron’ is the RAF’s term for a light transport unit, with duties such as VIP air taxi and those passenger and freight tasks which do not justify larger transport aircraft. Typical examples might be medical evacuation and small but urgent packages. The role and organisation of the RAF in Germany changed as the political and military situation changed. Immediately after the war the British military force in Germany was, inevitably, an army of occupation. German civilian administration had largely either been destroyed or had broken down. Even elementary necessities of life such as housing and electricity had to be organised by the Allied military. As an example, until 1949, it was the British Army which was running the Volkswagen car factory which produced the Beetle at Wolfsburg. For the RAF, this situation was reflected in the change of name from 2 TAF to the British Air Forces of Occupation (BAFO) in July 1945.

Executive Summary Introduction The RAF Families Federation (RAF FF) is funded by the RAF to gather evidence of issues and concerns affecting all RAF personnel and their families. Following the renewal of our contract in June 14, we were specifically tasked to engage with the RAF Reserve community. As part of that process, we ran an on line survey and conducted ‘live’ workshops to gather evidence of the RAF Reserves’ experience. Survey Responses We received 302 responses to the survey, representing approx. 12% of the entire Reserve cadre. Of the 302 respondents, 68% were Part-Time Volunteer Reserve (PTVR), 28% were Full-Time Reserve Service (FTRS) and 4% a mixture of Sponsored Reserves (SR), Additional Duties Commitment (ADC) and Volunteer ex-Regular Reserve (VeRR). These respondents represent 11% of the PTVR cadre, 13% of FTRS and 2% of the ADC/SR/VeRR cadres. Of the total respondents, 91% were aged over 30, 84% were male, 16% female: 75% were non-commissioned and 25% commissioned, and 63% were married or in a partnership. Where appropriate, we have broken out the responses to some questions between PTVR and FTRS given the significant differences in ToS and philosophy between the two groups.

  • A Brief History of Raf Benson
    A BRIEF HISTORY OF RAF BENSON Let us be known by our actions The Station Badge, granted in 1955, depicts a red lion rampant on a gold scallop. The lion signifies that the Station was built on the Manor of Bensington that once belonged to the Royal Duchy of Cornwall. The scallop is the traditional emblem of medieval pilgrims and symbolises the mobility of the service. In 1937, with the RAF expanding, work began building an airfield near the historic village of Benson. On 1 February 1939, RAF Benson opened and accepted its first aircraft; 2 squadrons of Fairey Battle Bombers. The Battle Bombers left RAF Benson in December 1940 to be replaced by the twin engine Wellington Bombers and the Spitfires of No. 1 Photographic Reconnaissance Unit, who, under RAF Coastal Command, establish Benson firmly in the forefront of the war effort. From 1939 until 1995, the Station became the start point for many a Royal journey as initially the ‘King's Flight’, and then later the ‘Queen's Flight’ made its home at RAF Benson. The Queen’s Flight remained at RAF Benson until 1995, when it moved to RAF Northolt and was amalgamated with No. 32 (The Royal) Squadron. Following the war, the station re-grouped under Transport Command to provide medium range tactical air transport. In March 1992 RAF Benson began its association with helicopters as first No. 60 Squadron flying Wessex HC2 helicopters, and then in 1997 No. 33 Squadron flying Puma HC1 helicopters took up residence. This was followed by the Merlin Helicopters of No.
