    NFLA Publishes Report Raising Concerns Over the Radium Legacy at Dalgety Bay; and Asks How Many More MOD Sites Could Be Affected?

    NFLA Media release - for immediate release, 14th October 2013 NFLA publishes report raising concerns over the radium legacy at Dalgety Bay; and asks how many more MOD sites could be affected? The Nuclear Free Local Authorities (NFLA) publishes today a new study considering the issues around radioactive contamination at Dalgety Bay in Fife and highlights a large number of other existing and former Ministry of Defence sites which could contain similar levels of contamination. (1) Over the past couple of years, the local Fife Council, the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA), the independent Committee on Medical Aspects of Radiation in the Environment (COMARE) and the Ministry of Defence (MOD) have been dealing with the complexities of radium contamination on the beach around Dalgety Bay in east Fife. Large radioactive particles have been found on the beach and around the Dalgety Bay shoreline. Their origin is likely to have come from radium tipped dials from dismantled Second World War aeroplanes, which were disposed of after the former airfield was decommissioned. As the NFLA briefing notes, SEPA have determined that the MOD should be responsible for the clean-up of the site, but the MOD is disputing these findings. It is possible that the area could also be formally designated as „radioactively contaminated land‟. The COMARE group of health experts have also raised serious public health concerns with the radioactive contamination. The local MP, former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, has been highly critical of the MOD‟s challenge to SEPA‟s findings and urged a swift clean-up of the area. The NFLA report provides a full overview of this alarming matter, but it also further considers a long list of other existing or former MOD owned sites across Scotland, England and Wales which may also contain similar levels of radium contamination.

C ONTENTS TO J UNE 2017 AIRFIELD REVIEW The Journal of the Airfield Research Group The journal was initially called Airfield Report , then ARG Newsletter, finally becoming Airfield Review in 1985. The number of pages has varied from initially just 6, occasio- nally to up to 60 (a few issues in c.2004). Typically 44, recent journals have been 48. There appear to have been three versions of the ARG index/ table of contents produced for the magazine since its conception. The first was that by David Hall c.1986, which was a very detailed publication and was extensively cross-referenced. For example if an article contained the sentence, ‘The squadron’s flights were temporarily located at Tangmere and Kenley’, then both sites would appear in the index. It also included titles of ‘Books Reviewed’ etc Since then the list has been considerably simplified with only article headings noted. I suspect that to create a current cross-reference list would take around a day per magazine which equates to around eight months work and is clearly impractical. The second version was then created in December 2009 by Richard Flagg with help from Peter Howarth, Bill Taylor, Ray Towler and myself.

    Book of Remembrance for Those Who Died in the Solway Within the Area of Annan

    BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE FOR THOSE WHO DIED IN THE SOLWAY WITHIN THE AREA OF ANNAN compiled by Clive Bonner edited for website by Robert Mitchell 2019 Profits from the sale of this book to Annan United Reformed Church and Annandale Churches Together for their work in the community of Annan. © Clive Bonner 2009 ISBN 9781 899316540 1 Explanation This work of Remembrance has grown from a suggestion, made by a person who lost his own father to the Solway, that the Annan fishermen who died while fishing in the Solway should have a memorial in Annan. He felt it fitting that the memorial should be in that building he knew as the 'fisherman's church', that is the Annan United Reformed Church, which was from the 1890's to 2000 the Congregational Church. With the backing of the congregation of the Annan United Reformed Church and the members of Annandale Churches Together I undertook to do the research required to bring the memorial into being. A small group of people drawn from all the interested denominations within Annan was formed and at its only meeting was tasked with providing the names of fishermen who fitted the criterion to be included on the memorial. The criterion was to limit the memorial to those who sailed from Annan or were resident in Annan at the time of their loss. Using this information, I researched in the local and national newspapers to find the reports telling the known facts, obtained from people present at the time of the tragedies. I have transcribed the reports from either the original newspapers or microfiche and have only added detail to correct factual inaccuracies using information from death certificates and family when supplied.
