Thrilling New Addition to the Revival Festival at Cotswold Airport Announced! for One Night Only on Saturday 29Th September Ther NEWS RELEASE July 2018 __________________________________________________________________________________ Thrilling new addition to the Revival Festival at Cotswold Airport announced! For one night only on Saturday 29th September there will be a spectacular night photoshoot opportunity to raise funds for RAF100. ________________________________________________________ On 29th and 30th September Cotswold Airport is throwing open its gates to the public once again for its incredible vintage and wartime extravaganza, the ‘Cotswold Airport Revival Festival’, this year an official RAF100 event. To mark this year’s centenary of the RAF and Cotswold Airport’s own original RAF roots, Threshold.aero are putting a night shoot on Saturday 29th September to raise fund for the RAF100, where the exciting static aircraft on display at the Revival Festival during the day will uniquely be brought to life with incredible lighting. Props will be running and aircraft will be powered up to present a showstopping rare opportunity for aviation enthusiasts to photograph an eclectic group of incredible aircraft at night-time. Glenn Stanley from Threshold.aero said: ‘Coinciding with the Revival Festival at Cotswold Airport, we're pleased to be shining our lights on a number of the airfield's residents, including both Canberra PR.9s, along with aircraft visiting for the event. Rotary wing participants presently include at least one of Lufthansa Technical Training's two MBB Bo-105s, whilst LTT will also be giving an airing to their rarely seen VFW-614; one of only six surviving examples and the only VFW-614 in the United Kingdom. Continuing the civil theme, two Boeing aircraft will be on show; former Kuwaiti Emiri Flight 727-200 M-FTOH and long-term inmate turned wedding venue 747- 200F G-MKGA. Additional aircraft are being announced as and when we receive confirmation of their attendance.’ ABOVE: One of the star feature aircraft that will be part of the Cotswold Airport RAF100 Night Shoot, the world’s only flying English Electric Canberra PR-9, built in 1959. BELOW: Example images from previous nightshoots. PRESS QUOTES: Jo Welch, Head of Events & PR at Cotswold Airport said: “The Cotswold Airport Revival Festival is set to become one of the biggest destination events in the area, if not the UK. There is no other event of its kind in the Cotswolds, which is why last year it attracted thousands of people for just one day. This year is going to be much bigger and better, and we are especially excited to be putting the night shoot to raise funds for the RAF100 - a nod to our RAF history and a celebration of the RAF’s centenary.” PRESS ENQUIRIES: Jo Welch – Head of Events and PR - 01285 771177 [email protected] www.cotswoldairportrevival.com NOTES TO EDITORS: COTSWOLD AIPORT: A Gloucestershire airfield steeped in history, Kemble aerodrome (Cotswold Airport) is now home to a growing general aviation community and a host of successful businesses. Kemble Air Services Ltd, the owners of Cotswold Airport, are totally committed to making it one of the finest airfields in the country without spoiling the natural charm that abounds on this 532-acre site. Best known to many people as the former base of the RAF Red Arrows aerobatic team this Gloucestershire airfield still reverberates to the sound of classic British jets, albeit they are now privately owned. After the departure of the United States Air Force in 1993 Kemble faced a bleak future, and looked destined to go the way of so many ex-military airfields – back to agriculture or an industrial estate. However, over the years local businesses have occupied most of the buildings and aviation has returned to this historic airfield. This was largely due to the successful acquisition of the airfield from the Ministry of Defence by Ronan Harvey and a consortium of local businesses in March 2001. The resurgence of energy that Ronan put back into Cotswold Airport (Kemble) had started several years before he bought the site. He had relocated his own business “Polydron” from Northampton into one of the hangars and as a keen aviator took out a ten year lease on other hangars. This has now grown to such an extent that Kemble is a thriving business park for both aviation and non- aviation companies. Ronan’s company Kemble Air Services Ltd (now managed by his daughter, Suzannah Harvey) operate the airfield and manage the whole site. The AV8 restaurant opened in 2005 is another quality feature in an outstanding success story and is open to the public all year round for all to enjoy. At AV8 you will be able to watch the world fly by in a classy atmosphere with a distinctly Mediterranean feel. .

  • Needs for Manston Airport Engineers Oral /Written Specific Issue Hearing 2 My Name Is I Am a Local Small Business Owner
    Needs for Manston Airport Engineers Oral /Written Specific issue hearing 2 My name is I am a local small business owner . Much has been said by others about air cargo needs ,KNMA wish to make you aware of other UK needs namely Aircraft Engineers.. .The UK NEEDS Aircraft Engineers. Statistics - In the next 20 years, airlines will have to add 25,000 new aircraft to the current 17,000- strong commercial fleet - By 2026, we will need 480,000 new technicians to maintain these aircraft and over 350,000 pilots to fly them The underlying problem Simply stated, the demand for aviation professionals will exceed supply. Factors include: - wholesale retirements in the current generation of aviation professionals - aviation professions not attractive enough to potential candidates - competition with other industry sectors for skilled employees - training capacity insufficient to meet demand - learning methodologies not responsive to new evolving learning style - accessibility to affordable training - lack of harmonisation of competencies in some aviation disciplines, and - little awareness by the “next generation” of types of aviation professions available.

  • 12 Other Spatial Issues
    186 COTSWOLD DISTRICT LOCAL PLAN 2011-2031 12 Other - Spatial Issues 12.1 Gloucester and Cheltenham Green Belt (POLICY SP1) 12.1.1 A very small part of the District, near Ullenwood, lies within the Gloucester and Cheltenham Green Belt. This 1.1 km2 area, which includes Crickley Hill Country Park, is situated on top of the Cotswold escarpment and is located entirely within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Policy SP1 GLOUCESTER AND CHELTENHAM GREEN BELT Inappropriate development within the Green Belt will not be permitted, having regard to national planning policy 12.1.2 National Planning Policy provides clear guidance on planning positively to enhance beneficial use of green belts, while making it clear that inappropriate development is harmful and should only be approved in very special circumstances. 12.1.3 The JCS authorities (Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury) undertook a review of the Green Belt in 2011, though it did not include the small area within Cotswold District. The review, however, concluded that the area adjacent to the Cotswolds makes a significant contribution to the purposes of the Green Belt because it “forms a critical connection between wider countryside to the east and west.” 12.2 Cotswold Airport (POLICY SP2) 12.2.1 The airfield formerly known as RAF Kemble straddles the administrative boundary between Cotswold District and Wiltshire and covers an area of some 210 hectares. In 2001, the MoD sold RAF Kemble in separate lots and by August 2009, a Certificate of Lawful Use was granted for an airport. Today, the airfield is operated commercially as Cotswold Airport and is accessed from the A433 Cirencester to Tetbury road in Cotswold District.

  • Huge RAF100 Commemorative Event Being Held at Cotswold Airport During the 'Cotswold Airport Revival Festival': 100 Aircraft
    NEWS RELEASE April 2018 __________________________________________________________________________________ Huge RAF100 Commemorative Event being held at Cotswold Airport during the ‘Cotswold Airport Revival Festival’: 100 aircraft flying in to represent 100 years of the RAF! On 29th and 30th September Cotswold Airport is throwing open its gates to the public once again for its incredible vintage and wartime extravaganza, the ‘Cotswold Airport Revival Festival’. To mark this year’s centenary of the RAF and Cotswold Airport’s original RAF roots, the organisers have launched a major initiative to get 100 aircraft to fly in over the two-day event, to celebrate 100 years of the Royal Air Force. Jo Welch, Head of Events at Cotswold Airport said: ‘This initiative is really exciting. We hope to attract many many different types of aircraft over the two days for everyone to see. We especially are interesting in vintage and military schemed aircraft, including helicopters, light aircraft and large and small jets. We are offering free landing for the duration of the event for these aircraft and free parking. Pilots and owners are welcome to camp if they wish to stay for the two days and bring any display materials to tell visitors all about their aircraft.’ There will be a dedicated display area where the aircraft will be parked for visitors to see. Each aircraft will be booked in in advance so there will be constant movements throughout both days for people to see in the skies above. (As with all aviation activity, this event is weather dependant – many vintage bi- planes for example are unable to fly in bad weather conditions.) Cotswold Airport started out life as an MOD base called RAF Kemble 80 years ago, was the first home of the famous Red Arrows.
