EDITORIAL The arrival of summer in terms of Air Shows is upon us, and, in the UK’s case, they have even produced some glorious sunny weather. Unfortunately, Europe has been less lucky with some awful weather at Orland and Wittmund! As aresult of all these UK and European shows this month’s magazine is a maximum 64 page issue. On top of all the show reports we have also received many reports from your travels - some of a sizeable nature and others just snippets. The excellent response to my pleas is very heartening and I hope this will continue! Because so much material has been received this month we could easily have had another 10 pages in the Foreign section, so this is held over to the August issue (the credits have also been held over again - apologies for this, but they will appear soon and will have all the names collected from each issue when they did not appear). We are also receiving a steady stream of images to use in the magazine and this is very heartening too - please keep them coming! For those people who only get the paper version of MAR you only see those printed on the covers - if you receive the PDF version then you would see up to an extra 5 pages of colour pictures. Remember, if you subscribe to the paper MAR then you are also entitled to a free PDF version - for those who might want to take up this option please email me at”[email protected]” detailing which email account you wish to use to access the magazines. It is a very simple and quick process and it also means you will be able to read the magazine each month a week earlier than you would if you had to wait for the paper issue to drop through your letterbox.

344 BRITISH REVIEW The last remaining RAF built VC-10 is due to be withdrawn from use week commencing 15.07 this is when it was due to depart to Bruntingthorpe. But, the aircraft has been practicing short runway landings during July at both Cranwell and Cosford to see if the aircraft can safely land at Cosford for preservation at the RAF Museum which is a fitting place for this aircraft. Let us hope it happens. The final mission for the 1419 Flight Merlin HC.3 has taken place from Camp Bastion, Afghanistan and all Merlin aircraft deployed out there will return to Benson where they will then transfer to the Royal Navy. During the 10 year long deployment to Afghanistan, the Merlin HC.3 has flown more than 18,00 hours, moved almost 8,000 tonnes of supplies for the loss of one aircraft. Finally, the third Lightning II ZM137 for the RAF has been delivered to Eglin AFB, Florida, USA on 25.06.2013...... Mick Boulanger (Military movements is history, now and for our future)

Beside the above list, also on display were various mock-up (EC-645T2, P1HH, Typhoon, AW-149). Also traveling exhibition Mirage 2000 03/103-YQ was present. A grey AS.365N3e was falsely displayed by Eurocopter as an AS.565MBe, accompanied with various weapon systems that can be fitted on the Panther family. The Dauphin (SAR configuration) carried only Eurocopter test registration F-WWOG and was also showed earlier this year in India. A customer for this Dauphin is not known yet. The S-70i is intended for the Colombian or Brunei Army, time will tell. Even though the US DoD did not sponsor the US companies present, General Atomics made a last minute decision to display the MQ-9B. The MQ-9 was brought in by the Dutch Hercules, coming from the Volkel airshow were the drone was displayed during the airshow. It is not known if this MQ-9 is the first of two French MQ-9Bs that were ordered late May. Late June France placed an additional order for another 16 Predators. The Dutch Hercules also moved to the static, displayed by Marshall Cambridge. The M-345 is a well-known airframe as it was earlier marked as an M-311 and M-211. LH-10 F-WWNX (second airframe) was seen during the 2011 show with Benin air force markings. As this airframe was again on static (same blue camo c/s and same c/s) we can now conclude this machine was not delivered to Benin. The serial of the Mexican EC-725 was painted over however with good light condition 1010 was clearly readable under the paint. The helicopter had not made its maiden flight yet. The Mauritanian Super Tucano was a welcome late addition of Embraer. The machine was on its delivery flight to Mauritania and is the third machine to be delivered. The Italian NH90 MM81540 was thought to be c/n 1141. Inspection during the show learned it is however c/n 1166! The Su-35, An-70 and Yak-130 ALSO performed flying displays during the week.
