  • Kings RAF Booklet
    Combined Cadet Force Royal Air Force A Commissioning Aide Memoire for the Officer Cadre Version 1 “Where else could you learn to fly aerobatics, visit Royal Air Force Stations, tour foreign countries, play sports from local to international level, learn the skills to lead expeditions, become a target shooting marksman, gain your Duke of Edinburgh Awards, canoe through white water, assist your community, join a band, learn aviation subjects, go caving, parachute, climb, sail, ski...? These and much more are readily available to you as a member of the Air Cadet Organization.” Air Commodore Jon Chitty OBE. Introduction The school cadet organisation originates from 1859, when schools at Eton, Harrow, Rugby, Rossall, Felsted, Hurstpierpoint, Winchester and Tonbridge formed armed uniformed units as part of a national reserve to counter a perceived threat from abroad. By 1900, cadet units were established in over 100 schools across the country and in 1908, these units were re-titled the Officer Training Corps (OTC). In 1948, the OTC was renamed the Combined Cadet Force. The aim of the Combined Cadet Force is to provide a framework through which young people develop the qualities of team work, self-reliance, resourcefulness, leadership and responsibility. A weekly programme of military training is designed to give young people at King’s a chance to exercise responsibility and leadership, to provide them with knowledge of our defence forces, and to encourage those who might be interested in becoming officers of the Armed Services. Uniform members of the Combined Cadet Force will regularly stay on Royal Air Forces bases, therefore it is important that cadets are able to demonstrate an awareness of the structure and organisation of the Royal Air Force, its role in the defence of the United Kingdom and her interests and the operations in which the Royal Air Force are currently engaged.

    RAF Football Association - E-Bulletin RAF FA CUP ‘THE KEITH CHRISTIE TROPHY’ AND RAF FA PLATE 19/20 UPDATE With the RAF Cup now in full swing, the second round produced some more exciting ties and saw some big names exit the competition. RAF Leeming’s away trip to Akrotiri was the eagerly anticipated tie of the round, however it proved to be a tough trip for the visitors as they were on the receiving end of a heavy 5-1 defeat. SAC Liam Thornton grabbed four of the goals, taking his overall tally to six and making him the current top scorer in the competition. RAF Brize Norton faced the long journey up to Lossiemouth and it proved to be successful as they ground out a 1-0 win with Sgt Dave Wanless scoring the all-important goal, Brize Norton will be hoping for a slightly shorter journey if they are drawn away in the next round. SAC Liam Wood scored his first two goals of the competition helping RAF Northolt to an away win at Wyton with RAF Coningsby also picking up a convincing away victory running out 4-0 winner against JFC Chicksands & RAF Henlow. RAF Honington who have a great history with the competition were knocked out at the hands of RAF Odiham thanks to a single goal from SAC Clarke Goulding.

  • The RAF FA Challenge Cup – Keith Christie Trophy RAF Marham Vs RAF Odiham Venue - Oxford City FC Velocity Stadium
    RAF Football Association - E-Bulletin The RAF FA Challenge Cup – Keith Christie Trophy RAF Marham vs RAF Odiham Venue - Oxford City FC Velocity Stadium. 17 Dec 2020 RAF Odiham RAF Marham RAF Odiham claim victory in the RAF FA Challenge Cup after beating RAF Marham in a tightly contested game. Another bright winter day at Oxford City’s Velocity Stadium, the 3G pitch looking pristine. The original fixture postponed in October and another national lockdown in-between, the excitement of the game ahead was etched on the faces of all. Both teams had displayed great form in the competition so far and after the semi-final cancellation from Cyprus due to travel restrictions, RAF Odiham gained a pass to the final. With RAF FA E-Bulletin – Marham v Odiham, RAF Challenge Cup Final 17 Dec 2020 talk pitch side of Marham’s dangerous pace on the wing and the strength of Odiham’s midfield, the promise of a great game was on the cards. Shortly before kick-off both teams respectfully held a minute’s applause for Rowan, Brother-in- Law of Marham striker Tarren Moxon who sadly passed away in the summer. A steady start for both teams, obviously enjoying the chance to be back on the pitch and testing for early weaknesses. Within 12 minutes Moxon is brought down just outside the box after a dangerous run and a free kick is awarded to Marham. Moxon hammers the ball through the wall only to be received comfortably by Briggs in front of the Odiham net. Spurred on by the attempt, Marham started to increase the pressure and came close once again with a corner.

  • Royal Air Force College Journal
    THE ROYAL AIR FORCE COLLEGE JOURNAL CRANWELL AUGUST 2016 VOL LXXXV ROYAL AIR FORCE COLLEGE CRANWELL JOURNAL VOLUME LXXXV Editorial Board Editor-in-Chief Air Commodore C J Luck Editor Mrs A Sturtridge Page 1 FOREWORD By Air Commodore C J Luck Welcome to first edition of the revitalised Journal of the RAF College. After a hiatus of several years it has been re-born as a largely electronic publication with a limited run of hard copies. There is much that you might recognise from earlier editions and the editorial team have aimed to reflect the wide range of activity at Cranwell over the last year. It has been a very busy year for the RAF College. There have been significant changes coming out of SDSR15 which have led to an increase in the number of Phase 1 courses going through the College and an increase in the number of Officer Cadets on each course. This will feed an uplift in the number of Phase 2 trainees at Cranwell and elsewhere. In order to manage this increase in the training task the IOT course has been shortened from 30 weeks to 24 weeks. Considerable efforts have been made to ensure that the new course is more efficient and to protect key learning objectives. The College has continued to support a very busy calendar of events in the last year. With over 900 applications for events at Cranwell we have focussed on those which meet our training and engagement objectives while supporting the wider RAF. This year they mark their 75th Anniversary with a parade and Cranwell celebrated 100 years as a military flying “extravaganza” in front of College Hall.
