Despite Mick and myself both going down with a very unpleasant bug during the holidays (as well as half the population of the UK it would seem) we have succeeded in bringing out the new issue on schedule. Mick has produced his first UK Review and has managed to introduce some welcome changes into the format. The February issue of Military Aviation Review will include the 2012 Index - although those who take the PDF version will also be able to download it from the Web Site as a PDF with tje January MAR. As detailed in the last MARs of 2012, the 2012 PDFs have been renoved from the MAR web site on January 14th and the 2012 vserions of @MAR will also be removed on January 30th - leaving just the 2013 issues to download. For those taking the Paper version of MAR most of you will be aware that the subscription also includes a Free PDF version of MAR. If you are not already using this facility and would like to be able to download the MAR PDF version, please email me at [email protected] stating which email address you wish to use to download it and I will set up the procedure for you.. Finally, a plea for more photos to be sent in for possible use in MAR - please send JPEGS with a minimum size of 15x10cm and a dpi resolution of 300 dpi. Although we still only normally ise only 4 images per issue of MAR, we can use as many photos as we wish in the PDF version of the magazine! COVER PHOTOGRAPH: GAF JG74 Typhoon 30+48 in a striking 50th Anniversary scheme at Neuburg on January 2nd 2013 (Dietmar Fenners) Closing date for the February issue is 08.02.13 Brian Pickering 14.01.13 2 BRITISH REVIEW A belated Happy New Year to all readers, hopefully 2013 will deliver some interesting visitor for you. In this edition you will find the UK Review; I hope it is what you need as this is my first time writing the article. So far this year has not started very well for the RAF, with the wheel up landing of Tucano T.1 ZF349 at Linton-on-Ouse and on 08.01 and Tutor G-CGKC of 45(R) Sqn D Flt, Cranwell made an emergency landing on 09.01, thankfully nobody has been injured, but as a result of the last incident all Tutors are grounded for the foreseeable future.....

First opened during 1910 and operated by the British & Colonial Aeroplane Company and is where thousands of the Bristol Fighters were built for the Royal Flying Corps during World War 1. Another historic aircraft built here was the Bristol Brabazon which first took to the sky on 04/09/1949 and sadly scrapped during 1953. Another historic event was the first flight of Concorde 002 which took place on 09/04/1969 from here, and sadly the very last Concorde 216 G-BOAF flight was to fly here on 26/11/2003 for preservation. Another end to a great part of British Aviation History gone for ever.

  • Recent Military Heritage: a Review of Progress 1994-2004
    RECENT MILITARY HERITAGE: A REVIEW OF PROGRESS 1994-2004 A report for Research and Strategy Summary This short report outlines English Heritage’s work on recent military heritage, 1994-2004, focussing on: 1 Commissioned work 2 Internal projects/programmes 3 Advice and influence 4 Management and protection 5 Research agenda 6 European and wider contacts 7 Outreach Much of the commissioned work (s1, below) was undertaken in the period 1994-1999, prior to the creation of English Heritage’s Military and Naval Strategy Group (MNSG) in 1999, and a policy head for military and naval heritage in 2001. Much of what is described in s2-7 (below) was undertaken through the influence and activities of MNSG. A series of annexes provide further details of commissioned work, in-house surveys, publications, conferences and MNSG membership. Review, 1994-2004 1 Commissioned work (Annex 1) Much original research has been commissioned by English Heritage since 1994, largely through its Thematic Listing and Monuments Protection Programmes. This has created a fuller understanding of twentieth century defence heritage than existed previously. For some subjects it contributed to, clarified or expanded upon previous studies (eg. Anti-invasion defences); for others the research was entirely new (eg. Bombing decoys of WWII). Commissioned projects have included: archive-based studies of most major classes of WWII monuments; aerial photographic studies documenting which sites survive; a study of post-medieval fortifications resulting in a set of seven Monument Class Descriptions; studies of aviation and naval heritage, barracks, ordnance yards and a scoping study of drill halls; and characterisation studies of specific key sites (RAF Scampton and the Royal Dockyards at Devonport and Portsmouth).

  • Cambridgshire Memories of the Cold War Era
    Cambridgshire Memories of the Cold War era Our mission: to research, record and archive the local history of the Cold War era ฀ working with Cambridgeshire residents to tell our stories and commemorate 30 years since the Fall of The Berlin Wall. SpyNet is a National Heritage Lottery Funded project, led by New International Theatre Company. Thanks to partners The Norris Museum, Ramsey Neighbourhoods Trust, Ramsey Youth Club (Crunch) and The Library Presents. Introduction The following texts are transcriptions of interviews from people who give a variety of personal perspectives on the Cold War. These are mainly from those serving professionally with RAF, USAFE, Civil Defence or the Intelligence services; but also included are the insights of a teenager growing up on a base, an artist who lived on the Soviet side of the Iron Curtain and the memories of people who protested at Molesworth. The memories begin in the '60s and cover the height of the Cold War in the '80s. The contributors all have a connection to Cambridgeshire, highlighting the importance of this period of history for the region. Today the activities have changed, USAFE U2 spy planes no longer fly from Alconbury and the RAF Nimrods no longer fly from Wyton, however cyber-espionage continues apace at undisclosed locations. The physical landscape is changing too with RAF Molesworth, Alconbury and Upwood all facing closure and re-purposing to housing development, but the memories stay with those who lived through a unique historical era. 1 2 contents 1. Alan Robson - RAF Wyton and RAF Gatow................................... 5 2. Anne Robson - RAF Gatow (Berlin) ...........................................
