    UK Chief of the Air Staff Makes Introductory Visit to Singapore 09 Oct 2018 Chief of the Air Staff of the Royal Air Force Air Chief Marshal (ACM) Sir Stephen Hillier reviewing a Guard of Honour at the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF). The Chief of the Air Staff of the Royal Air Force Air Chief Marshal (ACM) Sir Stephen Hillier called on Minister for Defence Dr Ng Eng Hen this morning. During their meeting, Dr Ng and ACM Hillier reaffirmed the long-standing bilateral defence relationship and discussed efforts to enhance cooperation in areas of mutual interest. This builds on the positive bilateral defence relations following the signing of the UK-Singapore Defence 1 Cooperation Memorandum of Understanding (DCMOU) by Dr Ng and UK Secretary of State for Defence Gavin Williamson on the sidelines of the 17th Shangri-La Dialogue in June 2018. The DCMOU captures existing bilateral defence relations and cooperation, as well as provides a foundation for future defence cooperation in areas of mutual interest. Prior to the meeting with Dr Ng, ACM Hillier also called on Chief of Defence Force Lieutenant-General Melvyn Ong and Chief of Air Force Major-General Mervyn Tan, and reviewed a Guard of Honour at the Ministry of Defence. ACM Hillier is on his introductory visit to Singapore from 7 to 9 October 2018. As part of his programme, ACM Hillier visited the Republic of Singapore Air Force's Air Combat Command and Air Power Generation Command at Paya Lebar Air Base (PLAB). He also viewed a static display of the F-15SG at PLAB.

    RAF News Brief 2019/2 Organisation Operational Service Medal In 2017, Her Majesty The Queen agreed the introduction of a new Operational Service Medal (OSM) for Op SHADER. In February 2019, Her Majesty The Queen graciously approved an extension of the medal without clasp for personnel assessed as making a significant and direct operational contribution, but outside the joint operational area for Op SHADER. Under new rules, personnel from all three services serving from outside the traditional area of operations, such as operators of RAF Reaper Remotely Piloted Air System (RPAS) aircraft, can now receive the Op SHADER medal without clasp. The award of the medal reflects the changing nature of modern conflict and recognises the vital contribution that personnel working from outside the operational area of Iraq and Syria have made to the campaign. This will be the first time that RPAS crews have received formal medallic recognition. Ground crew serving at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, where UK airstrikes over Iraq and Syria are launched from are also eligible, as well as Army and Navy personnel providing logistic and communications support. Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Sir Stephen Hillier, said: “I am delighted to see this wider recognition of the RAF’s vital contribution to Op SHADER. Under the previous criteria, only about 14% of RAF personnel who had supported Op SHADER were entitled to receive the OSM. Under the new criteria, that proportion rises to over two-thirds. I extend my personal thanks and congratulations to all those who will now receive the OSM for their outstanding Op SHADER contribution.” Update on Defence Estate Optimisation Programme The MOD published an update to the Defence Estate Optimisation Programme in March 2019, setting new information for 33 military sites across the UK.

The site was located within an area of archaeological potential and was nearby to the site of Greyfriars Friary and to the south, a possible medieval moated site. Archaeological features were found in three of the four trial trenches comprising several post holes, pits, linear features and structural remains. All features were dated by artefact or circumstantial evidence to the post-medieval or modern periods. The evidence from the trial trenching suggested that the site of the proposed housing development area contained little or no significant archaeological remains.
