PUMA CREWS completed their final festive flight ferrying Father Christmas around 43 schools in Oxfordshire. The HC2, due to be replaced next year, landed for the last time at Oxford Children’s Hospital to hand out presents provided by their local station at Benson.
SURVEILLANCE CREWS from RAF Waddington simulated fighting in a newly-occupied country subjected to a naval blockade as part of the latest readiness training held in the US. Exercise Resolute Warrior saw nearly 100 personnel from the Lincolnshire station deploy to the Naval Aviation Warfare Development Centre in Fallon, Nevada, for the campaign with forces from other nations of the ‘Five Eyes,’ intelligence network. “The focus of Resolute Hunter is to deliver near real-time analysis, so that weapons specialists can generate specific intelligence on enemy targets,” said ISTAR Force Commander Air Cdre Nick Paton. “What makes this exercise so compelling to attend is that it focuses on intelligence and target development in a rolling campaign,” he added. ● Continues on page 3
