Author: Max Glencross, Noise and Vibration Division, RAF CAM, RAF Henlow. References: A. RAFCAM Tasking Proforma file reference 0409100903. B. RAFCAM NVD Report OEM/17/01. C. Wimpey Report No: ER0325/07 dated Aug 89. INTRODUCTION 1. The Noise and Vibration Division (NVD) of the RAF Centre of Aviation Medicine (CAM) were tasked at Reference A by DSEA-CPA-Policy 1a to conduct a Noise Amelioration Scheme (Military) review of RAF Church Fenton. 2. A Noise Insulation Grant Scheme (NIGS) review of RAF Church Fenton was conducted in 2001 (Reference B). The most recent Environmental Noise Contours of RAF Church Fenton were produced in Feb 1989 (Reference C). The 2001 review found that the number of movements since 1989 had decreased and the conclusion was the 1989 contours were still relevant. 3. The survey conducted in 1989 included the Percival Jet Provost turbojet which was stationed at RAF Church Fenton in a training role for fast jet, multi-engine and rotary-wing aircraft pilots. In Apr 1992 the station closed and therefore the NIGS was suspended, but the airfield remained open as a relief landing ground for the Tucano turboprop aircraft operating from RAF Linton-on-Ouse. The Tucano replaced the Jet Provost.

You will see from the Station 2 Commander’s introduction that the past few months have been somewhat hectic with all kinds of activities, which has pushed the station very much into the media spotlight. Of course on the downside the Station Commander, Col Neale Moss, is preparing to leave us to be replaced by Col Andy Cash in the New Year. I will not dwell on this at the moment as the various reports of the ‘Governor’’ leaving will be carried in the next edition. Finally, the editorial team wishes all our readers a peaceful Christmas and the very best of fortune in the New Year. 30 06 I Foreword 26 I 7 Air Assault Battalion REME 36 I Welfare Matters Introduction by Colonel Neale Moss News and updates from 7 Air Assault News and updates from the various Unit OBE, AH Force Commander, Wattisham Battalion REME, including Exercises Lion Welfare Offices.
