Fax: 01603 723000 or e-mail: licensing@cabinet-office.x.gsi.gov.uk Foreword by the Secretary of State for Defence the Right Honourable Geoff Hoon MP In the Defence White Paper of last December I set out the need to defend against the principal security challenges of the future: international terrorism, the proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction, and weak and failing states. Our need in the future is for flexible and adaptable armed forces properly supported to carry out the most likely expeditionary operations. To create a more sustainable and affordable force structure which better meets these operational requirements we have secured additional resources: the 2004 Spending Review allocated £3.7 billion to defence across the Spending Review period, which represents an average real terms increase of 1.4% a year.

  • B Crew Raf Marham 1982
    HEROES OF THE RAF FIRE SERVICE B CREW RAF MARHAM 1982 ITUATED ON THE EDGE of the fens in Norfolk, the airfield at Marham has its origins way back in the very beginnings of military aviation. Following construction in S 1915, it saw service as a Royal Flying Corps (RFC) aerodrome during the Great War, both as a home defence airfield and a flying training unit. In 1919 it was closed, but sixteen years later work started on construction of the RAF Station we know today. The airfield resumed operations in 1937 and flying continued throughout the Second World War, during which thousands of bombing missions were launched, and the Station was attacked several times by enemy aircraft. Despite only having grass strips for runways, the Wellingtons, Stirlings and Mosquitos operated with devastating effect, and during the latter stages of the conflict RAF Marham was a main operating base for elite 8 Group Pathfinder Force (PFF) Squadrons. After the war, having now had new concrete runways laid, Marham continued to operate in the role of a bomber station, and in 1956 became part of the RAF’s V-Bomber Force, operating Valiants and later Victors. Long after the other V-Bombers were retired, Marham still flew Victors in the air to air refuelling role until they were finally retired in October 1993. One aircraft that didn’t survive to that date however, was XL232. Following construction at the Handley Page factory at Radlett, near St Albans, it was delivered to the RAF on 13 March 1962 as a Victor B2 bomber, capable of delivering a Blue Steel nuclear stand-off missile, or up to 35 x 1000lb bombs.

At the '"time, in common with most members of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, we were both only vaguely aware of the existence of that body. In response, I started to research material in order to write a short article about them. It became apparent very rapidly that there was no central body of information about the <then) Special Constabulary and, perhaps worse for a writer, that at least some of the details were covered by the Official Secrets Act. The Kinistry of Defence appeared unable to acknowledge, let alone answer, any letters of enqUiry. The length of time being taken to compile information was rapidly becoming uneconomic in terms of any possible return from writing a short report. (Which is probably why there were no such articles from which to draw in the first place.) However, I had sent out several other 'feelers', and accounts of the XDP's presence and activities were trickling in.

Two Typhoons had briefed them on the ground that they would work with [an aircraft carrier] before working in the D809 complex. They were advised by the Ground controller to free-call [the Lossiemouth Approach ICF] when ready to manoeuvre in the Moray Bowl. However, when in the vicinity of HMR X- Ray, one aircraft adopted a Swanwick(Mil) squawk and the other maintained 7001 while they were working in the vicinity of D809, mostly at low-level. Between 1020 and 1030Z, Lossiemouth Approach was controlling a rotary on HMR X-Ray at 4000ft, Orkney RPS 1013, under a Traffic Service. The Typhoons were seen to move and operate NE of Lossiemouth by about 15nm at approximately 6000ft before turning to head NE, almost directly at the helicopter.

  • RAF Regiment Fund Property Member
    “History cannot give us a program for the future, but it can give us a fuller understanding of ourselves, and a common humanity, so that we can better face the future”. Robert Penn Warren The RAF Regiment Fund maintains over 650 items of Regimental Property on behalf of the Corps. This booklet contains information on the most significant items that the Fund holds. Front Cover Image: 2777 Sqn RAF Regt outside the Brandenburg Gate and Reichskanzlerei, Berlin, in the Winter of 1946-7. One Flt of cars was detached permanently to Berlin and based at RAF Gatow, where they formed part of the British Military presence (British Air Forces of Occupation - BAFO) in Berlin after WWII. Lead car comdr is Fg Off Dickinson, RAF Regt. Photo courtesy of Flt Lt Don Nelson RAF (Retd). Flt Lt Nelson was latterly a Lt Col in the RCAF and still lives in Canada. Edition 2.0 “Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II” Air Commodore-in-Chief Royal Air Force Regiment Her Majesty The Queen unveiled this portrait of herself, which now dominates the entrance hall, in 1967. The portrait depicts the Queen as Sovereign of the Most Noble Order of the Thistle, Scotland’s premier Order of Chivalry. The portrait was commissioned by the Officers of the RAF Regiment to commemorate the Regiment’s 25th Anniversary and was executed by Huseph Riddle. Both at the unveiling and subsequently at the Royal Review of the RAF Regiment to commemorate the 40th Anniversary in 1982, The Queen expressed her particular satisfaction with the portrait. Gunner 2007 Although the significance of a 65th anniversary in military terms is not great, it was recognized in 2006 that the Corps should recognize yet another milestone in its short history in some way and the idea of a new and significant piece of silverware was developed.
