  • B Crew Raf Marham 1982
    HEROES OF THE RAF FIRE SERVICE B CREW RAF MARHAM 1982 ITUATED ON THE EDGE of the fens in Norfolk, the airfield at Marham has its origins way back in the very beginnings of military aviation. Following construction in S 1915, it saw service as a Royal Flying Corps (RFC) aerodrome during the Great War, both as a home defence airfield and a flying training unit. In 1919 it was closed, but sixteen years later work started on construction of the RAF Station we know today. The airfield resumed operations in 1937 and flying continued throughout the Second World War, during which thousands of bombing missions were launched, and the Station was attacked several times by enemy aircraft. Despite only having grass strips for runways, the Wellingtons, Stirlings and Mosquitos operated with devastating effect, and during the latter stages of the conflict RAF Marham was a main operating base for elite 8 Group Pathfinder Force (PFF) Squadrons. After the war, having now had new concrete runways laid, Marham continued to operate in the role of a bomber station, and in 1956 became part of the RAF’s V-Bomber Force, operating Valiants and later Victors. Long after the other V-Bombers were retired, Marham still flew Victors in the air to air refuelling role until they were finally retired in October 1993. One aircraft that didn’t survive to that date however, was XL232. Following construction at the Handley Page factory at Radlett, near St Albans, it was delivered to the RAF on 13 March 1962 as a Victor B2 bomber, capable of delivering a Blue Steel nuclear stand-off missile, or up to 35 x 1000lb bombs.

  • 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. RAF FA E-Bulletin – RAF Cup Update Elsewhere, RAF Shawbury and RAF Marham both scored four goals each to take them through with victories over MOD St Athan and RAF Waddington respectively. RAF Boulmer also strolled through to the next round with an impressive 7-1 victory over RAF Cranwell.
