April Edition.Qxp wireTHE April 2009 The Royal Corps of Signals THE WIRE, APRIL 2009 LEGACY OF THE LATE MAJ BARCLAY HANKIN Maj Barclay Hankin was commissioned into the Royal Corps of Signals in the early days of the WW2, serving in North Africa, Italy, the War Office and Germany. On leaving the Army he spent many years in operational research for the Army and London Transport before retirement in London and Chichester. He was a pupil at Christ’s Hospital School in Horsham and in his will, Barclay left a most generous and significant legacy to The Officers’ Association. The terms of this are to fund a place at Christ’s Hospital School for the children of officers who are serving or have served in Royal Signals and who have lost their parent as a result of his or her death or who has become seriously incapacitated. This bequest typifies Barclay’s generosity and his continued and strong loyalty to the Corps. In addition to meeting the requirement of the will, potential candidates will also have to meet the entry standards of the School which can be found at www.christs-hospital.org.uk. If you know of a family that might be eligible to take advantage of this bequest, please contact the Regimental Secretary, Lt Col (Retd) Conlon in Regimental Headquarters Royal Signals on Blandford Military 2081 or 01258 482081.

It is clear Movements & Retirements 2 from the many reports on Ex MERCURY GLACIER that skiing and snowboarding have been enjoyed by many, even though News from Formations 3 virtually every report starts by complaints about the long journey to find the snow! News from Regiments 4 I am pleased to include reports from three organisations that News from Squadrons 51 seldom appear in these pages. The Theatre Fleet Support Unit (Germany) (TFSU(G)) submitted a good article about a visit to Other Units 63 Arnhem. It was good to hear too from The Global Operations and Security Control Centre (GOSCC) who left their big tin shed and chose a pleasant winter day to enjoy the countryside and Sport 70 finally, I have included a report from the SOinC(A)’s Recruiting and Liaison Staff (SORLS). The Royal Signals Association 72 These articles are all worth reading and they introduce three new Donations 73 abbreviations to the majority of the serving and retired Corps: TFSU(G), GOSCC and SORLS. I must confess that initially I only Last Post 75 recognised two of the three abbreviations and could only work out what the letters meant for one. In The Wire, I try to keep the Obituaries 75 number of abbreviations to a minimum and obey the usual rules of staff writing where their use is inevitable but it seems that new Miscellaneous Stories 78 abbreviations are being generated every day and some are not at all obvious. I appeal to those who send in unit reports to spell Correspondence 86 out abbreviations, at least for the Editor’s benefit!

  • RAF Football Association - E-Bulletin
    RAF Football Association - E-Bulletin RAF FA CUP ‘THE KEITH CHRISTIE TROPHY’ AND RAF FA PLATE 19/20 UPDATE With the RAF Cup now in full swing, the second round produced some more exciting ties and saw some big names exit the competition. RAF Leeming’s away trip to Akrotiri was the eagerly anticipated tie of the round, however it proved to be a tough trip for the visitors as they were on the receiving end of a heavy 5-1 defeat. SAC Liam Thornton grabbed four of the goals, taking his overall tally to six and making him the current top scorer in the competition. RAF Brize Norton faced the long journey up to Lossiemouth and it proved to be successful as they ground out a 1-0 win with Sgt Dave Wanless scoring the all-important goal, Brize Norton will be hoping for a slightly shorter journey if they are drawn away in the next round. SAC Liam Wood scored his first two goals of the competition helping RAF Northolt to an away win at Wyton with RAF Coningsby also picking up a convincing away victory running out 4-0 winner against JFC Chicksands & RAF Henlow. RAF Honington who have a great history with the competition were knocked out at the hands of RAF Odiham thanks to a single goal from SAC Clarke Goulding. RAF FA E-Bulletin – RAF Cup Update Elsewhere, RAF Shawbury and RAF Marham both scored four goals each to take them through with victories over MOD St Athan and RAF Waddington respectively. RAF Boulmer also strolled through to the next round with an impressive 7-1 victory over RAF Cranwell.
