  • DTE East Public Information Leaflet
    PUBLIC INFORMATION LEAFLET DTE East FACILITATING TRAINING AND PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT DTE East WHY THE ARMY NEEDS TO TRAIN The British Army is held in the highest regard around the world. This respect has been hard-won over recent years in Northern Ireland, the Falkland Islands, the Gulf, the Balkans – and countless peacekeeping operations throughout the world. But such professionalism does not happen by chance. It is attained by constant, thorough and tough training, in realistic conditions. The Defence Training Estate (DTE) provides the principal facilities to achieve this. ORGANISATION The Defence Training Estate in the UK is controlled by Headquarters DTE, based at Land Warfare Centre in Warminster, Wiltshire. The Estate is sub- divided into 12 regionally-based areas, each with its own Headquarters and staff. DTE East (DTE E) consists of Stanford training area and ranges, East Anglia training area with its Colchester-centred facilities, and East Midlands to the north of the region with its similar amenities in Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and Nottinghamshire. TRAINING IN DTE E DTE E was formed in 1999, and hosts units from many other parts of the UK, who come to take advantage of the particular facilities we can offer them. At Stanford training area, approximately 340,000 man-training-days are carried out annually by the Regular and Territorial Army, Cadet units from all 3 services, police forces, and overseas forces. East Anglia training area includes Colchester, the ranges at Middlewick and Fingringhoe, plus Barton Road, and a dry training area (i.e. without live firing) at Stradishall disused airfield. Finally, East Midlands training area includes facilities at Beckingham, Fulbeck, Yardley Chase, and Dukeries.

  • 06 Support for Ex-Service Personnel
    Agenda Item No: 6 Draft Final Report 1 Front cover image: 2 Contents Chair‟s Introduction 5 Focus and Approach of the Scrutiny Review 7 Background and Context: National and Local Perspectives 8 Sources of Evidence 9 The Scrutiny Review‟s Key Findings and Conclusions 11 Summary of Recommendations 21 Appendix 1 Scrutiny Review Project Brief 23 Appendix 2 Map of military bases in the East Midlands 27 3 4 1. Support for Ex-Service Personnel Scrutiny Review - Chair’s Introduction Northamptonshire County Council‟s Scrutiny Management Committee has chosen to look at the support provided to ex-service personnel in the county as one of its scrutiny topics for 2010/11. This scrutiny review was intended to consider how different public and voluntary organisations work together to support people in Northamptonshire after leaving the Armed Forces. This topic was of particular interest to me as I have a family member serving with the Royal Air Force Nursing Service. Other councillors who have been recruited to join the working group have had their own personal and family connections with our Armed Forces. We are all aware of the dedication and service that all members of the Armed Forces give to our country, most visibly in current action in Afghanistan and now in Libya. The regrettably familiar sight of those who have paid the ultimate price returning home via the town of Wootton Bassett is imprinted on our memories. The current financial situation at home has led to proposed reductions within the Armed Forces, which will mean an increased flow of ex-service personnel returning to civilian life.

  • East Lindsey Aviation History Trail (North)
    East Lindsey Aviation History Trail (North) The trail begins at Horncastle and the route has been carefully planned so as to end there too. Route details between the different RAF bases. Section 1 Horncastle to RAF Ludford Magna Depart from Horncastle Market place, and join the A158, heading towards Lincoln. At the junction with the B1225, turn RIGHT, and take the B1225 until you reach the crossroads with the A631. At this junction, turn RIGHT, and enter the village of Ludford Magna. The accommodation site for the airfield was actually situated at the rear of Ludford Parva. The somewhat unusual names come from Latin - magnus = large, parvus = small. In the centre of Ludford, on the left hand side of the road near the church, there is a memorial to No.101 Squadron, RAF who flew for most of the war from here. This memorial was erected in 1978, and was dedicated on July 16th of that year. Also serving as a reminder to those of the squadron who died during the war is a book of remembrance, which is housed in the parish church. Section 2 RAF Ludford Magna to RAF Kelstern From Ludford Magna, continue to follow the A631 towards Grimsby. Take the second turning on the LEFT and follow this road. When you arrive at the crossroads, turn LEFT and continue to the T junction, past several of the former airfield buildings. To your left, you will see the memorial to No.625 Squadron RAF, which has served as a template for several other memorials across the country.

Regulations 1994 INTERIM ADVICE APRIL 2003 Interim advice issued April 2003 English Nature¶s advice for the Humber Estuary European marine site given under Regulation 33(2) of the Conservation (Natural Habitats &c.) Regulations 1994 Preface This document provides English Nature¶s advice to other relevant authorities as to (a) the conservation objectives and (b) any operations which may cause deterioration of natural habitats or the habitats of species, or disturbance of species for the Humber Estuary European marine site. This advice is being prepared to fulfil our obligations under Regulation 33(2) of the Conservation (Natural Habitats &c.) Regulations 1994. European sites include Special Areas of Conservation (designated under the Habitats Directive, which support certain natural habitats and species of European importance) and Special Protection Areas (classified under the Birds Directive which support significant numbers of internationally important wild birds). Ramsar sites support internationally important wetlands and wetland species (listed under the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance especially as Waterfowl Habitat). In accordance with DETR'si Planning Policy Guidance (PPG9) and the DETR statement Ramsar Sites in England (November 2000); Ramsar sites must be given the same consideration as European sites when considering plans and projects that may affect them. European marine sites are defined in the Conservation (Natural Habitats &c.) Regulations 1994 as any part of a European site covered (continuously or intermittently) by tidal waters or any part of the sea in or adjacent to Great Britain up to the seaward limit of territorial waters.

  • Manual of Post Crash Management
    ►This Manual has been substantially re-written; for clarity, no change marks are presented – please read in entirety◄ Manual of Aircraft Post Crash Management (MAPCM) Military Aviation Authority MAPCM UNCONTROLLED COPY WHEN PRINTED Intentionally Blank for Print Pagination Page 2 of 38 UNCONTROLLED COPY WHEN PRINTED MAPCM Issue 5 UNCONTROLLED COPY WHEN PRINTED MAPCM FOREWARD There is a requirement for Aviation Duty Holders (ADHs), Heads of Establishment (HoEs) and Accountable Managers (Military Flying) to ensure that Aircraft Post Crash Management (APCM) and Significant Occurrence Management is carried out following an Accident or Significant Occurrence. The management measures and procedures that are required to be in place include correct reporting, preservation of evidence, health and safety precautions, appropriate corporate communications and any activities required to restore the Accident / Incident site to a satisfactory condition. For the avoidance of doubt, APCM does not encompass either the activation of emergency services or Accident investigation. This Manual of Aircraft Post Crash Management is provided as guidance on the application of RA 1430 (Aircraft Post Crash Management and Significant Occurrence Management) and RA 1410 (Occurrence Reporting and Management) in order to facilitate an appropriate response following an Accident or significant Occurrence. No publication can be a complete “how-to” guide and, while this Manual presents a wealth of guidance, advice and references that can be utilized to ensure that APCM responsibilities are appropriately fulfilled, it is by no means an exhaustive guide to all that may be required. Every Accident / Incident will be different and levels of response from the APCM organizations may differ. It should however provide enough information, when considered alongside RA 1430 and RA 1410.

  • SOE in France: an Account of the Work of the British Special Operations Executive in France: 1940–1944
    ii SOE IN FRANCE WHITEHALL HISTORIES: GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL HISTORY SERIES ISSN: 1474-8398 The Government Official History series began in 1919 with wartime histories, and the peace- time series was inaugurated in 1966 by Harold Wilson. The aim of the series is to produce major histories in their own right, compiled by historians eminent in the field, who are afforded free access to all relevant material in the official archives. The Histories also provide a trusted secondary source for other historians and researchers while the official records are still closed under the 30-year rule laid down in the Public Records Act (PRA). The main criteria for selection of topics are that the histories should record important episodes or themes of British history while the official records can still be supplemented by the recollections of key players; and that they should be of general interest, and, preferably, involve the records of more than one government department.

Christine Newton – Chapel St Leonards Parish Council Christine became clerk for CSL in August 2015, joining a parish council that was in turmoil, after the previous clerk had found it necessary to take legal action after his resignation caused by the vexatious actions of certain councillors.
