First, a correction to the caption for the MV-22B in the April issue - the serial was 168296/YR-14 and not 162296/YR-15 as stated in the magazine!
Another excellent month for reports and photos received - please keep them coming for the rest of the coming display season! The big difference for 2014 over 2013 is that the displays are back on the scene again in the USA.
If you want to send in photos for possible publication can you please send them as JPEGs to me at [email protected] - the preferred size for the JPEG is 24 x16cm at 300dpi (or larger). If you wish to send prints or slides in for consideration these should be sent to Brian Pickering at the editorial address above.
As ever, if you would like to see a free copy of @MAR (our other well illustrated PDF magazine - only available via the internet) then please send an email requesting a copy to [email protected]. The subscription for @MAR for 2014 is £20 and you can subscribe at www.mar.co.uk
COVER PHOTOGRAPH: This B-52H was taken on the East Ramp at Barksdale AFB’s Defenders of Liberty show on April 26th - it is 60-0037/BD from the 340th WPS of the 57th Wg and has “340 WPS” on the fin (John Wigzell)
Closing date for the June issue is 08.06.14 Brian Pickering 15.05.14
226 BRITISH REVIEW I start this month with the sad news of the loss of five men when their Lynx AH.9A helicopter crashed in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan on 26th April 2014. Four of the personnel were based at Odiham with 657 Sqn; the fifth was a member of the Army Reserve. My condolences go to all the family of those people that were lost. The temporary grounding of the Air Cadet Glider fleet took place just before the Easter break. This was due an error in the paperwork for the aircraft which was found during the auditing process and nothing to do with the aircraft themselves. It has been confirmed that Waddington runways will close mid September 2014 and will not reopen until November 2015. ...Mick Boulanger (Military movements is history, now and for our future)

48 FW News Correction to last month - the final F-15 departing to Lithuania on the 6th was F-15D 84-0019!
Two F-15s returned from Robins AFB on the 30th as Retro98/99.
