As ever, Corps personnel have continued to do astonishing things, notably in last year’s polar challenge, which saw the Royal Signals Mercury team trekking overland to the South Pole, Major Dan Ashton attempting a winter crossing of Iceland and our soldiers continuing to deliver top quality service to our forces on operations in Afghanistan. The standard of our Supervisors courses remains very high, as the extracts from the last Foreman of Signals course projects will confirm. On this the thirtieth anniversary of Op Corporate, several books have been published about the campaign, some of which are reviewed in this issue The influence and reputation of the Institution continues to grow, it remains in good health, and with my successor Lieutenant Colonel Nigel Harrison, it is in good hands.

  • The Tornado Years
    Continuing our brief history of RAF Honington, Part 4b. The Tornado Years (As mentioned last time, I had originally planned that ‘Part 4’ would include both the Buccaneer and the subsequent Tornado years but lack of time to research and space in the ‘Rag’ to tell the tale meant that I had to separate the two periods. This time we will take our delayed look at the Honington Tornados.) We concluded the previous episode of our tale when the last Buccaneer left Honington in 1984 but to ‘set the scene’ for the next phase we need to wind the clock back to the 1960’s. At that time, the United Kingdom had cancelled the procurement of the TSR2 and the US-built F-111, as previously discussed, but still needed replacements for the ageing Vulcan and Buccaneer strike aircraft. At the same time, aeronautical engineers were looking at variable-geometry, (or ‘swing-wing’), designs - as used on the F-111. These gave the manoeuvrability and cruise-efficiency of ‘straight’ wings with the speed-capability of swept wings. Britain and France had initiated the AFVG, (Anglo French Variable Geometry), project in 1965 but the French pulled out two years later. Britain continued to develop the project and sought new partners to achieve it. Whilst several other nations initially showed interest, ultimately it was only Britain, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands who, in 1969, eventually agreed to form a multi-national company, Panavia Aircraft GmbH to develop and manufacture the MRCA - or Multi-Role Combat Aircraft as it then became known. (The following year the Dutch withdrew from the project citing that the aircraft would be too complicated and technical for their needs.) The new company was owned 15% by the Italians and 42.5% each by Germany and Britain.

    AC/2000/001 TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION COMMISSION AMNESTY COMMITTEE APPLICATION IN TERMS OF SECTION 18 OF THE PROMOTION OF NATIONAL UNITY AND RECONCILIATION ACT, NO.34 OF 1995 ______________________________________________________ TSEDISO EPHRAIM MOALOSI (AM00292/96) ______________________________________________________ DECISION ______________________________________________________ The applicant applies for amnesty for two incidents. We deal with them in the chronology of their apparent occurrence. 1. The applicant lodged an application for amnesty on the 14th January 1997 with the TRC, in which he applies for amnesty for "attempted murder" on an undisclosed date in the township of Mmamahabane, Ventersburg. The nature and particulars of the act/s are stated as follows: "As I was a member of the SAPS at that point in time at Ventersburg, one of my colleagues' house was attacked by a mob of angry residents of Mmamahabane, Ventersburg. I reported the matter to my station commander telephonically and he instructed me to attend to the matter by all means and he ordered me to make use of my pistol to save Constable Mokau's life and his entire family. I went there and one youth was shot by me". (quoted verbatim) He gives the name of the victim as "alias" Motsheare of address unknown. As political objective he states:- "Through an order from my senior I had to comply. The rules of the former government was to comply and complain later." Justification for the act as associated with a political objective is given as: "The offence was directed at the ANC and its supporters of Mmamahabane, Ventersburg. I was a member of the SAPS and I had to comply with orders.

  • The Case of GEC/Marconi
    The Effect of Corporate Restructuring on the Shareholders’ Value: The Case of GEC/Marconi Magdy Abdel-Kader1* and Vagia Mentzeniot2 1 Brunel Business School. Brunel University. Uxbridge. Middlesex UB8 3PH. UK * Corresponding author: Tel: +44 (0)1895 266739. Fax: +44 (0)1895 269775. Email: [email protected] 2 Finance Division, Piraeus Bank Group, Headquarters, Stadiou & Amerikis 4, Athens, 10557, Greece Abstract GEC/Marconi’s transformation from a diversified conglomerate to a focused telecommunications and information technology company was an eventful and rambling transmission that resulted in the deterioration of shareholders’ value. It represents one of the most dramatic falls from grace in British corporate history and one of the greatest corporate governance fiascos of all time. The study investigates the wealth effects of Marconi’s sell-offs and acquisitions on its shareholders’ value by calculating the abnormal returns on the announcement days of all the disposals/acquisition during 1996-2002. The results support the view that shareholders’ value increases when a company proceeds to corporate sell-offs to pursue a focus strategy. However, the authors conjecture that GEC/Marconi has destroyed shareholders’ value through these disposals/acquisitions because of several mistakes, such as being prone to heavy debt. © 2007 World Research Organization.

  • John Keene Interviewed by Mike Cadman 19/09/07 Former Regimental Sergeant Major – Rand Light Infantry
    1 John Keene interviewed by Mike Cadman 19/09/07 Former Regimental Sergeant Major – Rand Light Infantry TAPE ONE SIDE A Interviewer Can you give me a bit of a background about how you came to be in the military, when you started, just a little sort of thumbnail sketch of your career in the military. John Keene I was born in 1946, which is nine months after the end of the Second World War. And I went to Maritz Brothers College, Inanda. My father had been in the Rand Light Infantry during the Second World War and had been badly wounded at ? My grandfather on my father’s side was a merchant navy captain and he had been responsible for landing Anzac troops in the Dardanelles during the First World War. My mother’s father came out to South Africa in Imperial Military Railways during the Anglo Boer War. So throughout my life I considered that warfare was a natural part of human existence. Through my father I knew all of his comrades in the Rand Light Infantry (RLI), and I’d formed a picture of what the army should be like. At school we were mostly English speaking boys and most of our fathers had also served in the Second World War in one or other of the arms, either the air force, the army or the navy. And the mindset that we had developed at that stage was that our fathers had fought a war for liberation of the human race and that the world offered a lot.
