    BLHA Newsletter Chairman's Corner This will be the first Newsletter edited by John Chapman. I know he has many good ideas for its future, and would like to wish him well. As a well-known military historian, his servi- ces must be in great demand at present, so taking on this task cannot have been easy. Members of the committee are particularly keen to let the member societies know what the Association is doing, and what it can do for them. We want the Newsletter to be read as widely as possible by members of member societies. And we would like to hear what the societies are doing. There are around 40 of them, but we only hear regularly from about a dozen in the Newsletter. A recent change in the committee has been brought about by Elias Kupfermann volunteering his services. He is well-known in Windsor, Maidenhead and Slough as a local historian, and I would like to welcome him. There are a number of jobs which need to be done, and I hope he soon finds his niche, and can be formally elected at the next A.G.M. Incidentally, I notice that the Constitution of the Association says that the officers and committee members should “normally” retire after five years. To my surprise, I find that I was first elected in 2009, so I’ve already done my five years! And as for most of the rest of the committee . It needs thinking about. I was pleased to be invited to present the Berkshire History Prize this year: please see the short report and photograph later in this issue.

  • Frank Percy Caudery Private 31218, 3Rd Battalion, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry Private 45649, 8 Th Battalion, Royal Berkshire Regiment
    ! Frank Percy Caudery Private 31218, 3rd Battalion, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry Private 45649, 8 th Battalion, Royal Berkshire Regiment Frank Percy Caudery was born at Wendover on 8 May 1892, the sixth and youngest child of Frederick Caudery, a butcher, and his wife Mary (née Minnie). In the Census Returns of 1901 and 1911, the family was living at Chesham Villas, Amersham. In 1911, Frank was described as a helmet maker, perhaps at the Misbourne Works of William Stone, which had a contract with the War Office for this manufacture in 1915. Frank married Amersham girl Ethel Stokes in 1912 when they were both aged 20. The following year, a daughter Gladys was born. Frank enlisted at Amersham with the Oxford and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry but was then transferred to the Royal Berkshires, 8 th Battalion, (date unknown). The Royal Berkshire Regiment were generally known as ‘The Biscuit Boys ’ because the regimental depot, Brock Barracks was located at Reading, not far from the well known biscuit factory, Huntley and Palmers, who were biscuit suppliers to the British Army for many years. The 8th Battalion of the Royal Berkshire Regiment was a unit of one of Kitchener's New Armies created early in the war. It was in Chesham Villas, White Lion Road, Amersham Kitchener's 5th New Army, known, like the (Photo – H Garas 7 Aug 2014) others, by an abbreviation, in this case K5 "! which came into being on 10 December 1914. For most of their time in England they were linked to the 7th Battalion. They moved to huts at Sutton Veney near Warminster on 7 May 1915 after having spent most of the winter billeted in Reading.

  • 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.

  • 2017 Update on the 2013 LARS Service Provision Review
    SAFETY AND AIRSPACE REGULATION GROUP Airspace Regulation 04 February 2017 Manager Airspace Regulation UPDATE OF THE 2013 LOWER AIRSPACE RADAR SERVICE (LARS) PROVISION REVIEW Background 1. LARS was formally introduced in 1979 as a funding scheme to reimburse Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) for the provision of the radar service element1 of UK Flight Information Services (UK FIS). Under the scheme ANSPs provide a radar service to aircraft flying outside Controlled Airspace (CAS), up to and including FL95 within the limits of radar/radio cover. Introduction 2. In September 2013 the Safety and Airspace Regulation Group (SARG) performed a review of service provision for LARS, which was an update from the 2008 LARS Review. The Review Group included representatives from National Air Traffic Services (NATS), Airport Operators Association and the Ministry of Defence (MoD), and made some recommendations on suggested ways to improve the existing scheme whilst maintaining the standard of service and level of safety currently provided. It recognised the finite resource available and looked at ways of possibly redistributing this to maintain maximum coverage. Aim 3. This update provides a statistical analysis of 2015 LARS usage, with a view to comparing it to the analysis from the 2008 Review which looked at demand for different types of LARS services. This includes looking at the fluctuating demand for LARS between week days and at the weekend, and therefore the impact of certain LARS units being closed at the weekend. In addition this update provides a correlation of current LARS areas of responsibility in relation to UK Airprox reports, looking to identify areas which potentially have higher risk of collision in Class G airspace and are not currently covered by LARS units operating hours.
