The Children ’ s So c ie ty Each year, since 1996, there has been a door to door collection for The Children’s Society in Hinxton and residents have been most generous in their support. Nationally, there is now an unwillingness to undertake the collection and the charity has decided to encourage alternative forms of local fundraising. There will be an event in Hinxton, details of which will be announced later. Meanwhile, I wish to thank everyone who has given time and energy to collecting over the years and also to thank the village for its great financial contribution, interest and encouragement. Those who have home collecting boxes are reminded that July is box-opening month, so keep popping in those fiddly little coins! I have a few spare boxes if anyone would like to have a box at home!

  • Dog Demo Tour of USA and Canada 1969
    A Personal Retrospective View of the Dog Demo Team Visit to the USA and Canada 50 years on By Michael Hall During the months of 1969, I was employed on the RAF Police Dog Demonstration Team based at RAF Debden. I had already served 12 months with the Team when there arose several rumours of a proposed tour of North America and Canada being planned. These are my recollections of that ‘once in a lifetime’ event which took place 50 years ago. In preparing this retrospective, I am indebted to Steve Davies and to Rod Inwood, the RAF Police Association archivist, who both supplied some ‘missing’ information (stuff I had forgotten!). That summer the Team appeared at the Royal Tournament in London and other events around the country as the rumours of the ‘American Tour’ intensified. Finally, at a meeting at Debden, the rumours were confirmed and I was told that my name was included in the Team of 12 handlers who would be going. Other handlers selected were Cpl Dennis Cockerell to be team leader, Cpls Mick Chidgey, Jack Johnson, Hedley (Chalky) White, Phil Andrews, George Philp, Ken Hodgeson, John Judd, Roger Clarke, Vic Aitken and Dave Spence. In Command would be Fg Off Peter Brough, assisted by Sgt Danny Holden. Sixteen of the best Demo dogs were selected to go. The Demo routine was amended slightly to fit in with other military performances as part of a large touring event similar to that of the London Royal Tournament. The production, entitled ‘The British Tournament and Tattoo’ was militarily controlled by Col.

C ONTENTS TO J UNE 2017 AIRFIELD REVIEW The Journal of the Airfield Research Group The journal was initially called Airfield Report , then ARG Newsletter, finally becoming Airfield Review in 1985. The number of pages has varied from initially just 6, occasio- nally to up to 60 (a few issues in c.2004). Typically 44, recent journals have been 48. There appear to have been three versions of the ARG index/ table of contents produced for the magazine since its conception. The first was that by David Hall c.1986, which was a very detailed publication and was extensively cross-referenced. For example if an article contained the sentence, ‘The squadron’s flights were temporarily located at Tangmere and Kenley’, then both sites would appear in the index. It also included titles of ‘Books Reviewed’ etc Since then the list has been considerably simplified with only article headings noted. I suspect that to create a current cross-reference list would take around a day per magazine which equates to around eight months work and is clearly impractical. The second version was then created in December 2009 by Richard Flagg with help from Peter Howarth, Bill Taylor, Ray Towler and myself.

  • List of Royal Canadian Air Force Stations - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Page 1 of 16
    List of Royal Canadian Air Force stations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 16 List of Royal Canadian Air Force stations From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This is a list of stations operated by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), or stations where RCAF units existed, from 1924 until unification into the Canadian Forces on February 1, 1968. Some of the RCAF stations listed in this article link to facility descriptions containing the prefix "CFB" (Canadian Forces Base) or "CFS" (Canadian Forces Station). These facilities were at one time RCAF stations, but changed to CFBs or CFSs following unification of the Canadian Armed Forces in 1968. Most former RCAF stations still in use by the Canadian Forces are now operated by Air Command (AIRCOM). During the 1990s, most AIRCOM squadrons on Canadian Forces Bases were reorganized into "wings" as the primary lodger unit. Consequently, many Canadian Forces Bases used as air force bases are frequently referred to without the prefix CFB, e.g., "CFB Shearwater" is also referred to as "12 Wing Shearwater", with 12 Wing being the primary lodger unit at CFB Shearwater. All RCAF facilities followed the naming tradition of the Royal Air Force, whereby the prefix RCAF (vs. RAF) was affixed. Contents ■ 1 Operating locations (1924-1939) ■ 1.1 Primary Canadian stations ■ 1.1.1 Alberta ■ 1.1.2 British Columbia ■ 1.1.3 Manitoba ■ 1.1.4 Nova Scotia ■ 1.1.5 Ontario ■ 2 Operating locations (1939-1945) ■ 2.1 Primary Canadian stations ■ 2.1.1 Alberta ■ 2.1.2 British Columbia ■ 2.1.3 Manitoba ■ 2.1.4

  • A CONCISE GLOBAL HISTORY of the RAF POLICE 1918 – 2018 by Stephen R Davies RAFP 1975 – 2000
    Copyright Stephen R Davies 2017 A CONCISE GLOBAL HISTORY OF THE RAF POLICE 1918 – 2018 By Stephen R Davies RAFP 1975 – 2000 The project to record the global history of the Royal Air Force Police began after I managed to obtain a rather thin A4 glossy magazine which had been produced to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the RAF Police in 1993. The contents were mostly photographs with a very sparse story of the RAF Police up until that point. Being rather disappointed with the publication and lack of substance, I closed the magazine and was heard to utter those immortal words, "For Goodness sake, is that it..? I could have done a better job than that..!!" The rest as they say is history...!! Seriously though, the author of the 1993 commemorative magazine had done his best because up until that point, although the RAF Police had a 'museum' containing lots of artefacts gathered from around the RAF Police world, no-one had attempted to research and write a chronological global history of the branch, and although one should never 'sound one's own trumpet' I have to say that if I had not taken on the project, with a great deal of help and support from former and serving members of the RAF Police and the families of RAF Police who were no longer with us, then this unique branch of the RAF would certainly not have such an impressive written history as they approach their centenary. All in all, my full manuscript comprises seven weighty volumes. 1 Copyright Stephen R Davies 2017 Disappointingly, during the period of my research, only two out of ten Provost Marshals, actively supported the project and went out of their way to assist me.
