Welcome from the Editor

Welcome to the Spring 2024 edition of the Northolt Approach! Thank you to all those who have contributed, I’m sure you’ll agree that the variety of stories and information demonstrates the breadth of activity across the Station and beyond. This is likely to be my last as the editor, with the new team taking over from the summer. It’s been a genuine privilege to have had the opportunity of editing the magazine and I’d like to thank all those who help to make it so interesting and worthwhile.

Station Commander’s Foreword

GROUP CAPTAIN JONATHAN T W HOUGH ADC MA BSC RAF

Welcome to the latest edition of the Northolt Approach.

Ihope that you all got some welldeserved time with your friends and families since the last edition of the magazine. I would like to publicly thank all those that worked over the Christmas period, and of course, many of you were deployed; the Station, RAF and Nation is grateful for what you do to keep us all safe. Thank you!

It is wonderful to see the articles in this magazine, describing what you have all been getting up to. KCS saved Christmas by helping BFPO meet the Christmas mail demand; this will have had a significantly positive impact on everyone who was deployed over Christmas, bringing morale and connection to our deployed forces. I was delighted with the trip to Hillingdon Hospital with Music Services, meeting the children, parents, doctors and nurses on the Children's ward; it was a humbling and uplifting experience. I am also grateful to the team who visited Dukes Court Care Home; keeping a link with the broader community is so important, and I am sure that the residents will have been so grateful for your time. I look forward to joining you all next time.

I was very lucky to have gone on the RAF Alpine Challenge (Née Ski Champs); it was an amazing experience, and it was wonderful to have so many from the Station also go. We need to grow this and get more of our people on it next year. I want to pass on my thanks to the sponsors, RAF Central Fund and RAF Sport. I am also hugely grateful to all those that organised the expedition; so much work goes on behind the scenes to make this happen, and it is great to see that one of our own from 600 Sqn provided some of the much-needed instruction.

One of the greatest privileges I have is being given the opportunity to recognise outstanding service. We all know that we can only achieve these things because of the support we have from our friends and family; it is therefore important to me that you can bring them to the Honours and Awards ceremonies. This is why I have

moved the Honours and Awards ceremonies to the evenings. This will hopefully make it easier for your friends and families to attend, but I welcome the Whole Force to these events too to celebrate these achievements – please come along. In a similar way, we are going to start a new event to recognise outstanding achievements across the Station. Planning is in the early stages, but for those of you who have served at RAF Brize Norton, you will recognise it as an event like the Bravos (Brize’s Recognition Awards for Valued and Outstanding Service); a black-tie awards night. We just need a name for ours; ideas welcome!

I have also been fortunate enough to mark the retirement of some of our very longserving people. It is sad, but also fitting and uplifting to be able to say goodbye properly. I recently bid goodbye to Kay Brookes and Russ Mills; the big crowd of people is testament to the positive impact they have had on the Station. For the past 18 years, Russ has driven all the departing Station Commanders off the Station in his heritage Jeep on their last day. It was therefore only fitting that on his last day I had the privilege of driving him off the Station in the Station Commander’s staff car. They will both be missed.

I thank you all for everything that you do. I encourage you all write an article for the next edition of the magazine so we can share in your successes. Lastly, I would like to thank Sqn Ldr Cyrus Pocha who has been our Editor for so long. He has done an outstanding job and we are all grateful. Without people like Cyrus, our lives would not be as rich.

The King’s Colour Squadron

Another exciting quarter for KCS (63 Sqn RAF Regt), with state ceremonial activity, operational deployments, a range package, and an exercise to Salisbury Plain demonstrating the whole gamut of activity.

In November we were privileged to lead the RAF contingent for a whole host of Remembrance activity, including the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall, the Fields of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey, the Western Front Association vigil of the Cenotaph, and the National Act of Remembrance at the Cenotaph. The Western Front Association vigil, in particular, was an incredibly poignant and sombre affair, with four troops standing at the cardinal points of the memorial during a service of Remembrance. Taking place on 11 Nov itself, it was a huge honour to be part of something so intimate yet so important.

We moved immediately back into greens, to undertake a range package, at the end of November in Hythe and Lydd. This is to ensure all the gunners on the Squadron are able to deploy as well as take part in promotion courses – it is also a key part of being an RAF Regiment gunner, regardless of ceremonial or other activity.

Starting with the basic Annual Combat Marksmanship Test, we also conducted general purpose machine gun, pistol, and grenade ranges. This package genuinely offered respite from the relentless ceremonial activity seen over 2023, allowing the troops to really hone their core skills across a variety of weapon systems. It’s also just a tremendous amount of fun!

Just before Christmas the Squadron increased its footprint on Op SHADER, uplifting our overall deployed numbers to over 20. This is an enduring commitment, ensuring our ongoing involvement in one of the most relevant operational activities across Defence, and getting troops out the door on operations.

Following a well-deserved Christmas break the Squadron was immediately back into greens, but with a smattering of blue activity throughout. The highlight of this period was Ex EAGLE ASSAULT 24-1, a Squadron level deployment to

National Act of Remembrance at the Cenotaph

Training

Going from the lowest level of tactical training, including navigation and fireteam tactics, up to flight level raids and attacks, this exercise provided us with a baseline from which to build. It also acted as an excellent rehearsal of concept for our live fire tactical training package at the end of Feb. As ever, there was the usual sprinkling of ceremonial activity, including MOD step lining and memorial services.

Looking ahead, the Squadron will undertake a live fire tactical training package in Otterburn during Feb, before re-focussing on ceremonial activity with Public Duties at The Tower of London and King’s Guard in April and May. Meanwhile, enduring operational deployments and a plethora of promotion courses guarantee another busy, but rewarding, period ahead.

Per Ardua!

The King’s Colour Squadron Unwavering Support:

A Crucial Element in the Success of the Christmas Surge at BFPO

As the holiday season approached, the British Forces Post Office (BFPO) found itself facing an unprecedented challenge – the Christmas Surge! During this ‘logistical storm’, the invaluable support of Service Personnel from 63 King’s Colour Squadron (KCS) was testament to their dedication and efficiency. Their contribution ensured that the high volume of mail reached its destination on time, bringing joy and connection to deployed Service personnel during a season meant for unity and shared warmth. The collective efforts of LCpl McCaul, AS1s Harrison, Rasoki, Forche and Holcombe from 63 King’s Colour Squadron, and the civilian staff at BFPO proved to be the anchor in the operational machinery of BFPO. Through meticulous mail processing, tying down and labelling bags for despatch, these Service Personnel ensured that the flow of holiday mail remained swift and unhindered.

The impact of the support by 63 KCS personnel was felt not only by the BFPO, but by Forces Post Offices globally. Their success in supporting the Christmas Surge was a benchmark in operational excellence. By ensuring the

efficient flow of mail, these Service Personnel not only increased the morale of deployed forces but also showcased the importance of seamless communication whilst working in a diverse team

of mixed military and civilian personnel within BFPO. As the echoes of the festive season subsided, the impact of support from KCS personnel continued. Their dedication

and effectiveness set a legacy for future operations, emphasising the critical role that teamwork plays in maintaining the operational effectiveness of the BFPO.

Alpine Ski Champs

Sqn Ldr Waters RAuxAF (600 Sqn) details his experiences of the Royal Air Force Winter Sports Association (Alpine) (RAFWSAA) Ski Championships - Alpine Challenge 2024 (AC24) - 10-27 Jan 24

Background

I have been an RAuxAF SME working within the Air Cmd External Quality Audit Team since 1 Dec 2022. The role includes leading audits, developing Quality policy and providing support to Units across Air Cmd and at deployed locations.

I am a qualified Military and Civilian Alpine Ski Instructor and have been fortunate to have delivered instruction at the RAF Alpine Championships since 2017. This along with instruction on Expeditions, with RAF and Army Units, has enabled me to give back and support the next generation of skiers and instructors.

Unlike Adventurous Training the focus at AC24 was not on achieving a qualification but very much aimed at developing the individual, instilling an interest in ski racing and having fun. To this end all but beginners participated in a race for their level, and ensure all received an appropriate level of support, instruction was given across 4 categories with participants moving between groups as skills developed. With instruction being delivered by 18 instructors, for the first time, group sizes were kept low greatly improving effective instruction. Of note, because of the nature of the Alpine Champs and breadth of instructor qualifications classes were open to the Whole Force including dependants.

Day off in Kaprun

Instructor Training Camp (10-13 Jan 24)

To help develop the instructor cadre a training Camp was held prior to the start of the main event. As well as enabling the team to gel, it also provided an opportunity for safety updates and familiarisation of the resort and conditions. Led by 2 Austrian instructors it was an intense and very rewarding experience that added new skills and perspective to both ski technique and methods of training. It was highly successful and provided the Committee Safety Managers with assurance that the Team was current and SQEP. The camp also

enabled the instructor cadre to gel socially and included an evening on the Rodelbahn (tobogganing) track, which helped engender an essential cohesive mantra prior to the arrival of participants in resort.

Ski Instruction - Week 1

I delivered 2 five-day training courses.

The first week I taught a beginner group that included 2 civilian dependants and 3 Service personnel, from diverse roles and units. The small size of the group enabled quick progress, with all being able to ski the nursery slope by the end of day 1. Through the

week all progressed, although at differing rates, with some emotion at times. However, all achieved their personal objectives and really enjoyed the full days training, from first lift to debrief. They were also able to ski Blue (intermediate) slopes across the resort enabling them to take in the spectacular scenery and consolidate their skills.

After a busy week, on my day off, I visited the Zell am See-Kaprun ski area for a day of free skiing with 2 other instructors. We had a perfect weather day, although on the glacier at Kaprun the temperature was a tad chilly at -15. However, the variety of slopes and conditions made it a truly memorable and enjoyable day.

Ski Instruction - Week 2

For the second week I instructed a diverse group of 7 Intermediate level skiers, that included 2 sponsors, a civil servant and 4 Service personnel ranging from Air Cdre to AS1. The common theme was one of a thirst to get better and enjoy the camaraderie of the team. Of note was the ease of interaction of participants who fully embraced the use of first names and their equality on the slopes. This continued into the Après Ski and was reflective of the wider Alpine Champs culture

of inclusivity and selflessness.

By the end of the week all had improved and had pushed themselves into stretch with enthusiasm and determination.

Summary

Alpine Challenge has gone from strength to strength providing opportunities for the Whole Force to learn to alpine ski, telemark ski and snowboard, and for Service personnel to develop as racers enabling the RAF to field the best team possible at the Joint Services. Key to its success was the culture of inclusivity and selflessness of the managing committee who gave of their free time to organise and deliver an event for over 900 participants. Equally vital was the key part played by the instructor cadre, sponsors, RAF Central Fund and RAF Sport. The event is truly an opportunity and experience that is open to all, and I unreservedly encourage all to give it a go.

NEW DEPLOYMENT GUIDES

Deployment Information, previously known as Deployment Information Packs often varied in content and quality from Station to Station.

The RAF HIVE Service introduced three new Deployment and Detachment Support Guides in Nov 23, offering one resource to access Deployment Information for RAF Service Personnel and, most importantly, their family members.

Now accessible to all Service Personnel and their families and unlike previous versions, these new Guides have been tailored to specific groups: one for Service Personnel (SP), one for family members (such as parents, spouses or partners) and one for Service Personnel with children. Additionally, each Guide will be customised by local HIVE staff to provide Station specific information on the support available to family members of Deployed Personnel.

These refreshed Guides mark the beginning of a wider review, aimed at enhancing the support provided to our Service Personnel and their families during detachment and deployment. This in turn, heralds the beginning of a wider review of communications to RAF Families, primarily through RAF HIVE. Through recent

Families’ Forums conducted by RAF Community Support Personnel from HQ Air Command at a number of our Stations across the UK, RAF Community Support recognises a need to get ‘back to basics’ with a refresh of communication channels and methods of reaching out to families, to ensure they are well informed and able to engage with the RAF whenever possible.

RAF Northolt new Deployment Guides can be obtained in hardcopy from the HIVE Information Office. Alternatively, soft copies can be forwarded via email.

There are many forms of welfare and wellbeing support available for our Personnel and families living either on or off unit. The RAF HIVE Information Officer (HIO) - Pauline Thomson is

Lance media Group Ltd

on hand to support our people and their families by providing timely and accurate information and assistance.

Baby Care Room Opening Day

5th December 2023

RAF Northolt’s new Baby Care Room was officially opened on 5th December 2023 by the Station Commander.

The Station’s Parent Support Group has worked extremely hard in the past year to create a designated space that offers a warm and friendly environment for parents and especially mothers and expecting mothers to be able to breastfeed and express during working hours. It is hoped that it will encourage mothers and soon to be mothers to build friendships and gain support from each other as they navigate motherhood in a friendly and relaxed space dedicated to just them.

The Parent Support Group on station also organises Coffee Mornings once every two months at the Link which are hosted by fellow RAF Northolt parents and aim to address any queries or concerns new parents may

have. It is also a great way to keep in touch with your Station and meet up with others who are in the same position as you. Coffee Mornings are also attended by Admin, PEd, SSAFA and Medical Centre Representatives who will be there to answer your questions so keep an eye on event dates and join us at the Link (off Portal Close). Children are welcome to come and play within the soft play area and partners as well as your Line Manager are invited to come along too and enjoy brews and biscuits!

You can join the Support Group for RAF Parents Returning to Work on Defence Gateway and find more information on SJAR Maternity Support Documents, RAF Maternity Guide, Wraparound Childcare Information and more.

To gain access to the Baby Care Room or for any other enquiries with regards to the Parents Support Group, please email: Cpl Theodoulou (Mikaella.theodoulou100@mod.gov.uk) or Cpl Sims-Sweetman (louisa.sims-sweetman298@mod.gov.uk).

Chris White Retires – again!

Chris White, a familiar name and face to many of us here at RAF Northolt, recently celebrated his 80th birthday, and is proud to be the oldest serving Contractor on Unit, and possibly across the Ministry of Defence.

Currently operating out of Clothing Stores, he is due to retire in March 24 and we wanted to commemorate this milestone of incredible service by inviting him back to RAF Music for a final musical hurrah!

Chris joined RAF Music Services as a Trumpet and Cornet player back in 1961, serving a full 22-year career and leaving as a Chief Technician. He shared with us many memories of his time served, such as recording with the band in the studio next door to the Beatles, who were rehearsing at the same time, the many overseas trips, and a moment of forgetfulness on the parade square during his Drum Major exam when the previously unknown command of “band, come back!” was hollered, as the band disappeared off into the distance. Needless to say, Chris

didn’t become a Drum Major! Preferring to practise with a much smaller baton, he tried his hand at conducting and never looked back.

Upon leaving the RAF, Chris set up and conducted local youth bands and ran several music shops throughout the South-East, until receiving a chance telephone call in 1992 from a serving RAF Director of Music, to ask whether he would like to apply to be the Bandmaster of the Royal Air Force of Oman Band. His assignment was to introduce the band to Western music, something which he did in spades over a further 12 years of service, even receiving a personal message of thanks from the ‘boss’; His Majesty the Sultan of Oman.

Returning to the UK, Chris was able to further extend his career due to the flexibility of retirement

Russell Mills Retires

In 2006 Russel Mills came to RAF Northolt as a Station Workshop fitter and tool maker, eventually becoming the Workshops Manager. He has finally decided to hang up his welding torch and retire from full time work to look after his second true love, his beloved WW2 Jeep! He will leave full time employment at Babcock on the 19th of Feb 24.

Russel also has a talent, teaching workshop fabrication techniques, to help Babcock Apprentices gain the practical experience needed; notably, one former apprentice now works in the film industry as a special effects technician, which is testament to Russel’s mentorship.

Happily, he will still work for Babcock on a casual basis, as he has kindly offered to be a mentor and tutor for our latest apprentice until a worthy replacement can be found. Whilst Russel also intends to spend time on his farmhouse in La Belle France, he will remain a regular visitor to the Station , given his deep passion for RAF Northolt.

While at RAF Northolt, he has shown himself to be a very resourceful engineer, who can adapt anything in order to achieve the job quickly. One example of this was at a Station families Open Day, when the B17 ‘Sally B’ Flying Fortress had ruptured an engine oil pipe, the crew asked

age, taking up a post with Serco in the Clothing Stores at RAF Uxbridge in 2005. Incredibly, almost 20 years later, he is set to retire - again. For good this time, he says!

Standing up in front of the Band of the Royal Air Force Regiment for one last time, Chris’ musical expression and expert skills

with the conductor’s baton told a story spanning decades of experience, the magic of music, and wonderful memories. We would like to wish him all the very best for his well-deserved retirement.

Sergeant Nicola Juden

Russ if he could assist. He could not let an opportunity like this just slip through his fingers, jumping into his Jeep and racing over to the aircraft, which he helped to repair! Russ’ passion for WW2 vehicles has been the shining light in the Station Jeep club, and you may have seen them convey many Station Commanders and other personnel around the station upon their departure. He has also taken part in numerous trips to Normandy for the D Day celebrations to promote this prestigious event.

Such is his desire to help fellow workers, that he volunteered as the Trade Union representative, working tirelessly to help us all and make RAF Northolt a pleasant place to work. We will certainly miss him, not only for his candor, humour and friendship. RAF Northolt has certainly benefited from his ‘can do’ attitude and ability to create positive customer relationships across the Station.

Thank you Russ for all you have done over the years - the place will not be the same without you!!

Paul Bevis IEng MRAeS Babcock site Manager

Ceinwen Brooks Retires

After working at RAF Northolt for 15 years Kay has decided it’s time to turn off the computer and hand the reins over to someone else. She celebrates her last day on 21st Feb 24, after which she plans to enjoy retired life to the full!

Kay moved over to RAF Northolt in 2010, after 7 years working in the transit department at RAF Uxbridge. She helped with maintaining the bedding for single living accommodation. She eventually transferred over to Supply and took on the role as the SCAS Inventory Clerk. In 2022 she again changed roles and became the CP&F clerk and helped with the ordering of stationery and consumables for the station.

Thank you Kay, for all you have done over the years. We wish you well and hope you enjoy your free time and the wellearned rest!

Personnel from Station Operations visit Dukes Court Care Home

As part of a community outreach initiative, personnel from Station Operations at RAF Northolt recently visited Dukes Court Care Home in Wellingborough, bringing smiles and camaraderie to the elderly residents. The care home specifically caters for those with dementia and as a few of the residents were veterans, the visit had an even bigger impact. Service Personnel spent the morning, sharing stories and reminiscing about past times. The visit aimed to bridge the generational gap and learn about the residents and their lives.

Residents were visibly delighted as they welcomed their guests; many of whom had never experienced such an event. One gentleman even brought forward his move into the home once he heard about the visit just to be part of the day! The exchange of experiences proved valuable for all; notably, hearing stories about Service life from the past highlighted the way that the British military has changed over the years. One of the residents had served in the RAF during the 1940s and brought some pictures to show everyone. The standards of dress in the photos show the high standards that existed and it was great to see the majority were wearing a ‘chip hat’ correctly! Whilst much had changed, visiting personnel also commented that the photos showed the strong threads which connect currently serving members to the veterans.

Sgt Gillian Ireland, who led the event, and had a personal connection to Dukes Court Care Home where her late grandmother was a resident, expressed the importance of maintaining strong links with the community, saying that ‘Visiting the care home allowed us to show our appreciation for the staff and residents who have contributed so much to society.’

The event concluded with the RAF personnel joining residents for a delicious three course lunch. Dukes Court Wellbeing coordinator, Simon, expressed his gratitude for the visit, stating, ‘you are all remarkable’ and adding that the care home’s Quality Assurance manager, who had been carrying out a surprise internal audit had commented on ‘how lovely the visit was.’

Owing to this successful visit, it is hoped that similar events will take place on a quarterly basis to demonstrate RAF Northolt’s ongoing commitment to the community, which embody the Service’s key principles.
