That was part of the rationale behind my decision to focus the 2006 CAS Air Power Conference on the subject of agility – to take the opportunity to explore what the term really means in terms of developing a truly agile Air Force for the 21st Century. Of course, being agile is nothing new for Air Forces. From the very start the Royal Air Force demonstrated Air Power’s ability to deliver effects rapidly to parts of the battlespace that were beyond the reach of either the Royal Navy or the Army.

Squadron ATC
42F (King’s Lynn) Squadron ATC 2015 42F (King’s Lynn) Squadron ATC Freedom of the Borough ! The evening of 2nd October saw the cadets of42F (King’s Lynn) Squadron, Air Train- ing Corps march through the rows of assembled guests into the regal splendour of the King’s Lynn Town Hall having been preceded by mace bearers with the civic regalia and the Mayor of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk, Councillor Barry Ayres. The occasion was the presentation to the squadron of the Honorary Freedom of the Borough. Following the Mayor’s welcome speech, the Leader of the Council, Councillor Nick Daubney addressed the assembly explaining the significance of the honour being bestowed upon the squadron. He spoke of the Borough’s pride in the unbroken 75 year existence of 42F and of the commitment, dedication and wish to serve of its members throughout that long existence. He concluded by saying, “We demonstrate our pride with this ancient ceremony, and to give some measure to this I remind colleagues and inform guests that this Borough has only twice before bestowed this Freedom, the last time over 30 years ago to The Royal Anglian Regiment and prior to that to RAF Marham. Prior to the Borough’s formation and since 1901 King’s Lynn granted the freedom just 17 times on some 12 occasions.” The Borough Chief Executive, Ray Harding, then read out the citation after which the Mayor presented the framed scroll to 42F’s Commanding Officer Flight Lieutenant Pauline Petch. In response Flight Lieutenant Petch said “It is a real privilege to receive this prestigious honour and the cadets, the rest of the staff and myself will continue to do all we can in the future to prove that we deserve this.” She added “It is what the Squadron has consistently done over the past 75 years that has been recognised.
