EDITORIAL

Further to last month’s Editorial, the situation in the USA has deteriorated with the news that the Blue Angels display team are now joining the Thunderbids in cancelling all display appearances for the rest of Fiscal Year 2013, as part of cost saving moves resulting from the large budget cuts brought into effect as a result of the lack of agreement over a budget for 2013. Many air shows for later in the year are still not admitting to having to cancel but they will have to unless the situation changes drastically. Some show web sites still detail the forthcoming show while the Base Commander’s Office have already announced its cancellation! The USN will have 4 carriers and carrier groups returned to their home bases by the end of the year and the carrier flying squadrons will then have to store their aircraft at their home bases. The USAF is cutting back drastically on non essential flying with the emphasis being placed on those units in Iraq or Afghanistan or scheduled to go there, they will continue their flying programme but many other combat squadrons will be stood down with only minimal flying allowed to take place - included in this category are the 492 FS and 494 FS at Lakenheath and the 555 FS at Aviano. A more detailed report on all these moves will appear in the US News Section of @MAR at the end of April. The April @MAR will include details of all changes in 2013 resulting from the Budget cut backs as well as planned changes in the 2014 budget to cope with the continuing budget cuts.

164 BRITISH REVIEW It has been announced that the Bristow Group will take over from the Royal Navy and RAF in a £1.6bn contract to run the United Kingdom’s search & rescue from April 2015 until 2026. This will result in the withdrawal of the Sea King HAR.3 and HU.5SAR fleets and closure of the SAR facilities at several bases. Those affected are: Culdrose SAR will move to Newquay, Wattisham SAR will move to Manston, Valley SAR will move to Caernarfon, Chivenor SAR will move to St Athan, Leconfield SAR will move to Humberside Airport, Lossiemouth SAR will move to Inverness, Prestwick SAR will relocate to a new facility at Prestwick and Boulmer SAR will close In a (edited) Ministerial statement read to the commons on 15th March 2015, it concluded that RAF Marham is the most appropriate station for the main operating base for the new F-35. Given that RAF Lossiemouth will now host 3 Squadrons of Typhoon and given the altered draw-down profile and out of service date for Tornado, RAF Marham will have sufficient capacity for the basing of Lightning II, which will be operated jointly by the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force. No. 1 (Fighter) Squadron and No 6 Squadron currently based at RAF Leuchars which provide the Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) North role and will relocate to RAF Lossiemouth beginning summer 2014, with Typhoon flying operations ceasing at RAF Leuchars during autumn 2014, following a progressive transfer of the base from the RAF to the Army. Due to the significant running costs associated with maintenance of an operational airfield at RAF Wyton, it has been decided to relocate the flying units based there. No.57(R) Squadron, who undertake elementary flying training (EFT), will relocate from RAF Wyton to RAF Cranwell by the summer of 2013. The relocation of Cambridge and London University Air Squadrons (UAS) and No. 5 Air Experience Flight (AEF) to RAF Wittering is planned by mid-2014, once preparatory work has been completed. The opportunity has been taken to rationalise other light aircraft flying tasks in the region to achieve greater coherency and more efficient use of manpower and assets, delivering better value for money for the taxpayer. This will result in East Midlands Universities Air Squadron and No. 115(R) Squadron relocating from RAF Cranwell to RAF Wittering. Reductions in the flying training pipeline, means that RAF Church Fenton is no longer required to host training operations and will close by the end of 2013. The units based at Church Fenton, including the Yorkshire University Air Squadron (incorporating No. 9 Air Experience Flight), will relocate; work is on-going to determine the optimum location for the University Air Squadron. Following the vacation of RAF Kirton in Lindsey by No.1 Air Control Centre (1ACC), the site has been used to house personnel employed at RAF Scampton. While this use will continue, alternative defence uses have not been identified for the former airfield and technical facilities, so a decision has now been taken to dispose of these parts of the site. Discussions have been on-going with the Welsh Government, which leases large areas of the St Athan site, to establish how defence plans can also complement economic development by enabling its aim to develop an aerospace business park within the St Athan enterprise zone. MOD has no current requirement beyond 2017 for the St Athan “Superhangar”, which will progressively be made available for commercial occupation. The intent remains to relocate No. 4 School of Technical Training from East Camp at St. Athan to Lyneham, Wiltshire in the medium term as part of the defence technical training change programme. It is also intend to move personnel of the RAF’s No.71 Investigation and Repair Squadron from St Athan to collocate with other components of No.42 (Expeditionary Support) Wing at RAF Wittering. The relocation of the squadron will affect 47 service personnel who will transfer to RAF Wittering...... Mick Boulanger (Military movements is history, now and for our future)

US AIRSHOW CANCELLATIONS

Following the item in last month’s editorial I am listing all known air shows in the USA that have been cancelled because of the FY 2013 Budget cutbacks. As a result of the cut backs the Thunderbirds cancelled all display for the remainder of the Fiscal Year and now the Blue Angels have also cancelled there displays for the remainder of the year. In addition, the USAF have stopped all military fly pasts. One of the consequences of this is that many of the military bases have also cancelled their planned air shows in 2013 and this policy may also affect civil shows where the display teams had planned to fly, plus there will be no USAF static aircraft exhibits either. The following are known to have been cancelled - 13.04 Corpus Christi, Tx 20.04 Louisville, Ky 27/28.04 Westmoreland, Pa 27/28.04 Beaufort, SC 03-05.05JB Langley-Eustis, Va 04/05.05 Barksdale, La 04/05.05 Sheooard, Tx 11/12.05 Hawkins Fld, Ms 11/12.05 New River, NC 11/12.05 Martinsburg, WV 11/12.05 Spangdahlem, Germany 18/19.05 Seymour Johnson, NC 18/19.05 Fairchild, Wa 01/02.06 Kailua, Hi 15/16.06 Indianaplos, In 29/30/06 Myrtle Beach, SC 17/18.08 Lancaster, Pa 23-25.08 Dover, De 24/25.08 Offutt, Ne 14/15.09 Brunswick, Me 21/22.09 Oceana, Va 09/10.11 Nellis, Nv These will not be the only cancellations so please check before you go to any show in the USA this year!

SPAIN Albacete/Los Llanos - (3.13) New on the dump here is F/A-18A C.15-76/(21-04), which has arrived from Getafe. Bardenas – (3.13) The range was visited again by the same correspondent in March (refer to MAR 294/283 for his April 2012 report). Starting from the west, the grey RF-4C at the end of the runway was coded 12-59 (CR.12-50), the camo RF-4C on its own dispersal was CR.12-41, next to it was a grey Mirage F1 coded 14-52. The serial C.14- was clear on the fin but the last numbers were on an area of the fin which was discoloured or scorched. The group of six camo F-4s revealed codes 12-06 (C.12-09) and 12-32 (C.12-40). With good light and optics it should be possible to read four or five serials from these. The only problem one was the front left hand one which was uncoded andseemingly without a fin serial (or maybe it had faded away). The one change from the April 2012 visit was that the very battered camo F-4 at the northeast end of the runway had expired and been replaced by a new, still relatively undamaged, grey RF-4C with a very faint code whichappeared to read 12-62. This would make it CR.12-53 (ex Torrejon). Cordoba – (3.13) Unmarked Dornier Do27-A5 (U.9-57/EC-CDO) is now displayed in a roundabout on the airport approach road. GPS: N37.84691, W4.84003.

RF-4C CR.12-44, CR.12-45/12-54, CR12-52/12-61, CR.12-56/12-65, CR.12-57/12-66, CR12-58/12-67. The mid fuselage and wings of another RF-4C was also present. This should be CR.12-49/12-58, the cockpit of which went to the Malaga area.
