The Royal Air Force College THE JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL AIR FORCE COLLEGE VOLUME LXXVIII MARCH 2007 THE JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL AIR FORCE COLLEGE CRANWELL VOLUME LXXVIII MARCH 2007 EDITORIAL BOARD Editor-in-Chief Group Captain I R W Stewart BSc RAF Editor Flight Lieutenant C E Sloan RAF Officer and Aircrew Cadet Training Unit Royal Air Force College Cranwell Lincolnshire NG34 8HB The opinions expressed in the articles in this journal are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the policy and views, official or otherwise, of the Royal Air Force College Cranwell or the Ministry of Defence. Setup and printed by Media Services, Serco Defence, Science and Technology, RAF Cranwell. The Journal of The Royal Air Force College - 1 FOREWORD by Group Captain I R W Stewart BSc RAF Royal Air Force College Cranwell continues the long tradition of preparing men and women for a career in the Royal Air Force. Here at Cranwell, 2 ideals collide and make up the cocktail that is the Officer and Aircrew Cadet Training Unit (OACTU). These are the need to maintain the traditions that originate from the founders of the Royal Air Force whilst at the same time embracing new concepts. We are adopting the far-reaching changes necessary to prepare our officers and aircrew cadets adequately for a lifelong career in a military that remains committed to operations around the globe. At the same time we work under the constant gaze of the founders in the gallery of the College, whose influence crosses from one generation to the next. This journal takes a look at how we shape the future by taking ideas born from a tradition of nearly 90 years and forging them into a practical training programme that embraces the latest educational concepts. Group Captain I R W Stewart BSc RAF Is GC OACTU and Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of the Royal Air Force College In preparing people for a career that may span over 35 years, there is one Cranwell certainty, and that is that ambiguity persists. All our personnel will face ambiguity from the day they leave the College. To that end we can do no more than recruit, select and train the type of people who will be best placed to face up to the realities of the world and relish the challenge. We teach the men and women to survive and thrive. They must survive in the work place, survive as leaders and survive the challenges that are aimed at the very centre of the Royal Air Force. These survival skills are taught at the Officer and Aircrew Cadet Training Unit and taken forward into a career that will inevitably be full of surprises. Physical fitness, field skills, leadership and mental dexterity are all tools of the trade. More than just training, the College transforms the cadets into the future commanders of our Service. Quoting from the Air Power historian, Dr J Hayward, command in war is a remarkably complex, almost indescribable, deeply human relationship between those who lead and those who follow in circumstances usually dangerous, chaotic and frightening. Command in war requires a leader to do things never required of the most ambitious and competitive businessman or woman; to remain functional in the face of mortal peril; to inspire subordinates to act with courage and aggression; to carry out the violence necessary to ensure victory; to provide restraints on that violence in order to meet decent standards of morality, justice and legality; to assume direct responsibility for the lives and health of all involved. In addition to command, the functions of leadership and management merge as qualities bestowed on our officers both on and off the battlefield. All three functions feature heavily on the training courses run here at the College and go to equip our cadets to deal with the ambiguity of the exciting life they will lead. I hope you enjoy the articles in this journal and catch a glimpse of some of the many activities that take place at the College that remains responsible for transforming cadets into our future leaders. EDITORIAL Editing the Royal Air Force College Cranwell Journal is a great privilege but it also brings with it a great burden of responsibility. Finding the right balance of articles that reflects the diversity of the College pillars in today’s RAF is a difficult task and is dependent upon the hard work and creativity of a few individuals. I would also like to acknowledge the efforts of those officers within each pillar of the College that ensure we have something to publish. This year’s Journal also sees a move away from the ‘magazine’ feel with fewer advertisements to a publication that I believe reflects the ethos of the College more eloquently. If you have any comments with regard to the contents of this year’s Journal or indeed if there is any item you would like to see in future, then please contact the Editor-in- Chief or alternatively I can be contacted at: OACTU Flight Lieutenant Chris Sloan is an Royal Air Force College Cranwell IOT Leadership Instructor and editor of SLEAFORD Lincolnshire NG34 8HB the RAF College Journal. 2 - The Journal of The Royal Air Force College CONTENTS ROYAL AIR FORCE CRANWELL SENIOR APPOINTMENTS......................................................... 4 ROYAL AIR FORCE COLLEGE DIARY ......................................................................................... 4 VISITS TO THE COLLEGE IN 2006 .............................................................................................. 5 AWARD WINNERS 2005/2006...................................................................................................... 6 HONOURS AND COMMENDATIONS IN 2006 ............................................................................. 10 BATTLE OF BRITAIN SERMON.................................................................................................. 11 IN MEMORIAM .......................................................................................................................... 12 AVM GRAY LEADERSHIP ESSAY PRIZEWINNER ..................................................................... 13 NO 55(RESERVE) SQUADRON AND THE ITALIAN CAMPAIGN.................................................. 15 THE OFFICERS AND AIRCREW SELECTION CENTRE - A SNAPSHOT ..................................... 19 NO 45(RESERVE) SQUADRON HISTORY AND TRAINING......................................................... 22 DCAE (CRANWELL) MARKS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA IN THE TRAINING OF RAF ENGINEER OFFICERS ................................................................................................. 23 MARKETING MATTERS FOR RAF CAREERS ............................................................................ 27 CENTRAL FLYING SCHOOL LIAISON VISIT TO THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION AIR FORCE ........ 28 THE QUEEN’S REVIEW GRADUATION PARADE ....................................................................... 31 LEADERSHIP AND OFFICER DEVELOPMENT........................................................................... 35 REFLECTIONS ON NUMBER ONE IOT FROM THE SHOP FLOOR............................................. 37 THE JACK HOLT MEMORIAL AWARD ....................................................................................... 38 OCA WEEKEND ........................................................................................................................ 38 INTERCOLLEGIATE GAMES v L’ECOLE DE L’AIR SALON DEL PROVENCE ............................ 39 INTERCOLLEGIATE GAMES v ROYAL MIITARY ACADEMY SANDHURST ................................ 40 INTERCOLLEGIATE GAMES v KONINKLIJKE MILITAIRE ACADEMIE BREDA ........................... 41 INTERCOLLEGIATE GAMES v OFFIZIERSCHULE DER LUFTWAFFE FÜRSTENFELDBRUCK.... 42 INTERCOLLEGIATE GAMES v BRITANNIA ROYAL NAVAL COLLEGE DARTMOUTH ................. 45 A SQUADRON - EX IPLT AND EX SOUTHERN BORDER ........................................................... 49 B SQUADRON - THE HISTORY OF IOTC1 ................................................................................. 51 C SQUADRON - SETTING THE STANDARD............................................................................... 54 D SQUADRON - THE DRAGON LIVES ON… ............................................................................. 56 E SQUADRON - VISIT TO RAFO GHALLA.................................................................................. 58 AN INTRODUCTION TO SERE................................................................................................... 62 OVERSEAS TRAVEL IN THE AIR CADET ORGANISATION ........................................................ 63 The Journal of The Royal Air Force College - 3 ROYAL AIR FORCE CRANWELL SENIOR APPOINTMENTS COMMANDANT ROYAL AIR FORCE COLLEGE & DIRECTOR OF RECRUITMENT AND INITIAL TRAINING (ROYAL AIR FORCE) Air Commodore R B Cunningham MBE ADC MA RAF CHIEF OF STAFF & DEPUTY COMMANDANT ROYAL AIR FORCE COLLEGE Group Captain M R Waring MA BSc FCIPD RAF GROUP CAPTAIN OFFICERS AND AIRCREW SELECTION CENTRE Group Captain T P McWilliams FRIN RAF GROUP CAPTAIN INSPECTORATE OF RECRUITING (ROYAL AIR FORCE) Group Captain M L Page Grad Dip MS RAF GROUP CAPTAIN OFFICER AND AIRCREW CADET TRAINING UNIT Group Captain I R W Stewart BSc RAF OFFICER COMMANDING ROYAL AIR FORCE CRANWELL & No 3 FLYING TRAINING SCHOOL Group Captain S P Townsend MA RAF COMMANDANT AIR CADETS Air Commodore G Moulds MBE RAF COMMANDANT CENTRAL FLYING SCHOOL Group Captain S P Ayres BSc RAF OFFICER COMMANDING ROYAL AIR FORCE LEADERSHIP CENTRE Group Captain J A Jupp OBE MA BA RAF CHIEF OF STAFF AIR CADETS Group Captain W M N Cross OBE RAF (Retd) OFFICER COMMANDING NO 1 ELEMENTARY

  • Muscat, Oman Destination Guide
    Muscat, Oman Destination Guide Overview of Muscat Muscat is the capital and largest city in Oman, but tourists will find that the mundane activity of the busy modern capital is easily forgotten among the exotic delights of bustling markets, cannon-guarded forts, ornate palaces and historic city harbour. The once important maritime city underwent a resurgence in the 1970s, when the Sultan Qaboos bin Said began to develop museums, mosques and palaces, and worked to restore relics of Muscat's history. Muscat is made up of three cities grown together: the original walled city of Muscat (home to the royal palaces); the former fishing village of Matrah with its maze-like souq; and the commercial and diplomatic area of Ruwi. These areas, along with other districts further from the city centre, each have their own distinct personalities and attractions. Although Muscat is a popular destination for sightseeing tours, many of the attractions are primarily regular fixtures of Omani life. The mosques are important religious sites, the ancient forts are still operated by the military and the sultan's palace is the seat of Oman's government. The beauty of the city is what makes Muscat so alluring, especially near the harbour. The smooth, curved stone architecture is a transition from the rocky landscape to the inviting water of the harbour. Many new buildings have continued with classic Arabic architecture, further protecting the city's legacy from the ravages of the modern world. Muscat is one of the safest, most cosmopolitan and most open-minded cities in the entire Gulf Region and fast becoming a Middle East tourism hotspot.

Wimpey Report No: ER0325/07 dated Aug 89. INTRODUCTION 1. The Noise and Vibration Division (NVD) of the RAF Centre of Aviation Medicine (CAM) were tasked at Reference A by DSEA-CPA-Policy 1a to conduct a Noise Amelioration Scheme (Military) review of RAF Church Fenton. 2. A Noise Insulation Grant Scheme (NIGS) review of RAF Church Fenton was conducted in 2001 (Reference B). The most recent Environmental Noise Contours of RAF Church Fenton were produced in Feb 1989 (Reference C). The 2001 review found that the number of movements since 1989 had decreased and the conclusion was the 1989 contours were still relevant. 3. The survey conducted in 1989 included the Percival Jet Provost turbojet which was stationed at RAF Church Fenton in a training role for fast jet, multi-engine and rotary-wing aircraft pilots. In Apr 1992 the station closed and therefore the NIGS was suspended, but the airfield remained open as a relief landing ground for the Tucano turboprop aircraft operating from RAF Linton-on-Ouse. The Tucano replaced the Jet Provost.

No part of this document may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, or otherwise, without the prior written permission of Liverpool John Lennon Airport. © 2015 Liverpool John Lennon Airport Doncaster PIR Page 1 of 46 Owner: TSM 3rd February 2015 ATC Services Ltd. DONCASTER PIR Executive Summary Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield (RHADS) is a regional airport that developed from a former Royal Air Force (RAF) base known as RAF Finningley. The first commercial flight at the Airport was in 2005. In 2006, RHADS submitted an application for controlled airspace (CAS) in order to provide protection to the commercial air transport (CAT) flights operating in and out of the airport, and to connect the airport to the adjacent airways structure. The Airport lies in a unique position virtually surrounded on all four sides by small Light and General Aviation (LA and GA) airfields. This made routing CAT under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR), nominally under a Deconfliction Service (DS), extremely challenging. In 2008, the CAA approved Class D CAS for RHADS, which provided a Control Zone (CTR) and associated Terminal Control Areas (CTAs). The Airspace Change Proposal attracted objections from a variety of stakeholders, each staking a legitimate claim to continue to operate without the restrictions and control measures that CAS brings. The majority of those who objected removed their objection following further consultation with RHADS and the development of formal agreements.

Introduction 1.1 This Statement of Common Ground (SoCG) is between Peel L&P, Doncaster Sheffield Airport Limited (DSAL) and Doncaster Council (hereafter referred to collectively as “the parties”) and relates to the examination of the Doncaster Local Plan. The SoCG has been developed jointly by the parties. Overview 1.2 Doncaster Sheffield Airport (DSA) is located approximately 9km south east of Doncaster town centre and lies in close proximity to the settlements of Auckley – Hayfield Green. It is also closely related to Finningley to the east and Rossington to the west, which connects to DSA via the Great Yorkshire Way (GYW). The site is entirely within the administrative boundary of Doncaster Council. 1.3 Doncaster is located at the heart of the UK’s major motorway network, with connectivity to the A1, M1, M62 and Humber ports via the M18 and M180. DSA is directly connected to the M18 by the Great Yorkshire Way link road. The recent completion of GYW phase 2 has delivered a transformative improvement in access between the airport and the wider city region, resulting in an increased catchment of 5.53 million people1.
