598 BRITISH REVIEW The Ministry of Defence has announced that there will be a lot of new changes being made over the next few years with the RAF Training aircraft. They have appointed a consortium called Affinity as the preferred bidders to supply the new Military Flying Training System which will result in three new types of aircraft being acquired. They are the Grob G-120TP operated from Barkston Heath to replace the Grob Tutors, Beechcraft T-6C operated from Valley to replace the Tucano T.1s and Embraer Phenom 100 operated from Cranwell to replace the King Air 200. This does not look good for RAF Linton-on-Ouse’s future, but time will tell. Another announcement was made which stated the proposed withdrawal of Sentinel R.1 during 2015 has been postponed and the aircraft will be converted for maritime operations. Finally the last Tornado GR.4s operated by 31 Sqn at Kandahar, Afghanistan has departed on 11.11.2014. The withdrawal from Kandahar marked the end of five years of fast jet support for the NATO Operations…...Mick Boulanger (Military movements is history, now and for our future)

The Ecuador Navy CN-235M-100 ANE-202 was a wel- come visitor here and was towed into the Polar hangar for a two week stay on what is thought to be radar mods/upgrade. The large influx of RCAF aircraft this month was in support of the CF-118s that flew to Kuwait via Lajes.

The aircraft is known to have come from Exeter and the only two Hawk T.1As at Exeter on that day were XX202/CF from 100 Sqn Leeming and XX218/218 from 208(R) Sqn Valley. XX202/CF has been operating this month at Leuchars, Prestwick and Warton, so it isn’t that one. Then if you go back to RIAT Fairford during 2014, XX218/218 was being operated by the Red Arrows as spare aircraft but in full 208(R) Sqn colour scheme. So I am assuming that it is XX218/218 that went into store. Has anyone seen XX218 recently? During October there were two aircraft movements at AM&SU Shawbury. On 03.10 an unidentified Hawk T.1 from the Red Arrows
614 at Scampton arrived for storage as “RFR7281”. The other movement was either 28th or 29th October when a unidentified Hawk T.1 departed storage to an unknown location, more details required.

- was this just a 1 MIB crew ferrying it to the USA or has it transferred to the unit and will return after maintenance to Wiesbaden? Time will tell! Then on 26.10 RC-12X 91-0516 arrived from Afghanistan and is still present. Then on 23.10 recently upgraded RC-12X 85-0152 arrived from USA with an Argus c/s in company with a Krean based C-12U (see visitors), they then both departed together on the 31st so perhaps it was on delivery to 3 MIB? (Another possible 3 MIB delivery was RC-12X 92-13124 noted at U Tapao in Thailand on October 30th as “Glare 25”).
The three UH-60As from C/1-214 AVN that were parked on the ramp for some time - 82-23754, 82-23755 and 82-23756 - were joined by 84-23951 & 85-24422 on October 1st then 87-24645 on the 8th, 85-24437 on the 15th and 86-24552 at a later date. Most of these departed in late October by sea to the USA. Then on the 31st 79-233330 arrived and was still present together with two of the above that did not depart at the end of October. The two US Army Reserve UC-35As 99-0100 (white) and 98-0010 (grey) are both missing their horizontal stabilisers as does based example 99-00102. It appears they are awaiting spare parts!

FRANCE (01) Ambérieu – Richard Bowden has been busy again sorting out log anomalies. The preserved Super Mystere B2 marked as 136/12-YH here is in fact 13.

Later, 13 was painted in the same tiger scheme at Rochefort, even collecting the serial of the original aircraft (noted 1980-1982). It ended up at Ambérieu after a spell at Varennes sur Allier.
