Stn Cdr’s Foreword

Gp Capt Hampshire

It is a privilege and an honour to have taken command of Royal Air Force Coningsby and to write to you as your new Station Commander.

RAF Coningsby is renowned for its professionalism, commitment and pursuit for greatness, and to have the opportunity to lead you is a greatly thrilling prospect. I am looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible and making new connections whilst reconnecting with past friends. Over the past few months, I know there has been lots of activity, both here at home and in the global landscape, and that you have all been extremely busy supporting and delivering operational output to the highest standards. I am extremely proud of your efforts and to that end, please accept my sincere thanks and gratitude for your unfaltering commitment and dedication.

The last three months has seen a wide range of activities taking place, both at home and abroad, to continue delivering Air Power and assuring our National Interests. 3(Fighter) Squadron continued their role as part of NATO’s Eastern Sentry air defence mission, conducting sorties over Eastern Europe to combat Russian drone incursions and provocations. This underscores our strong commitment to National and Global security through offensive and defensive air operations alongside our allies. 3(Fighter) Squadron also engaged in Exercise RED FLAG 26-1 through January - February, one of the world’s most demanding multinational air combat training events. Together with allied forces including the US and Royal Australian Air Force, we tested and honed our modern combat skills in highintensity simulated conditions while broadening our level of expertise.

Back at home, RAF Coningsby had the privilege to host Swedish Air Force personnel and two Saab JAS 39D Gripens at the end of November. The visit was focused around enhancing NATO’s Electronic warfare capabilities and highlighted the RAF’s commitment to increased cooperation with our NATO partners. We have also recently started undergoing essential airfield infrastructure upgrades to strengthen our taxiways and aprons areas, a key measure in maintaining our vital station capabilities.

As we look ahead, I am excited to see what we, as both a base and members of the RAF, will achieve together in the coming year. Our focus on training and exercises, such as Ex Agile Warrior, as well as our support of operations will allow us to continue developing our skills and procedures during these turbulent times. I am confident we will continue to move forward through our resolve and teamwork to meet the challenges that lay ahead. I hope you enjoy reading the articles in this magazine and I look forward to seeing what we will achieve together in the future.

As the dust settled on 2025 deployments, 3(F) Squadron began the year in the relative calm of home base - well, as calm as a fighter squadron ever gets.

TREE PLANTING MARKS 85 YEARS OF FRIENDSHIP

EIGHTY-FIVE YEARS OF CO-OPERATION AND FRIENDSHIP WERE MARKED IN CONINGSBY ON THE 2ND FEBRUARY WITH THE PLANTING OF A

YOUNG OAK TREE, DONATED BY RAF CONINGSBY’S OFFICERS’ MESS.

Members of Coningsby Town Council met with personnel from the Lincolnshire Station on an overcast afternoon at the town’s Allan Barker Sports Ground. As a deciduous species, oak trees are bare in the winter months, and the slender sapling was planted with care in a safe space and surrounded with mulch.

Councillor Paddy Donnellan represented Coningsby Town Council. In his speech he said: “The partnership between RAF Coningsby and Coningsby town remains strong, and

together we will ensure that the legacy of service and mutual support continues for generations to come.”

Flying operations began at RAF Coningsby in March 1941, with its first flying unit being No 106 Squadron, equipped with Handley-Page Hampden bombers. By 1945, five other squadrons, including the ‘Dambusters’ of 617 Squadron, had served here.

In the post-war period there was initially a succession of bomber squadrons based here, including the Vulcans of the Coningsby Wing, before a switch to fast

jets, the Phantom, Tornado, and now the Typhoon.

Flying Officer Ellen Staniforth was the project officer. She said: “It was a pleasure to arrange this. The oak was planted as a small but lasting gesture of our connection with Coningsby. We hope it becomes part of the town’s shared landscape, growing alongside the community it belongs to.”

Coningsby itself is not short of history. The Lincolnshire town derives its name from the Old Norse ‘konungr’ meaning “king”, and ‘by’ meaning “settlement” giving “settlement of the king”.

Councillor Donnellan was joined by fellow councillors Derek Mulholland and Ray Evison. Station Commander Group Captain Andy Hampshire was accompanied by Squadron Leader Phil Bishop, Flight Lieutenant James Macintosh, and Flying Officer Ellen Staniforth.

Group Captain Hampshire said: “Institutions have often marked their relationship with the places around them by planting trees. These are quiet symbols of continuity, responsibility, and a shared future. This oak reflects RAF Coningsby’s enduring connection to the town and our gratitude to its people for 85 years of steadfast friendship.”

NEW TYPHOON DISPLAY PILOT REVEALED

Every year the Typhoon Display Team chooses a new pilot from the experienced Qualified Flying Instructors on 29 Squadron, and this year is no different. The announcing of Flt Lt Nation as the pilot for this season, truly marks the beginning of the work-up season and the team shifting their efforts to planning for the new year.

Originally from Pontypridd, in South Wales, Nation has grown up with a love of aviation. He was an air cadet with his local Squadron, learned to fly with

one of the cadet volunteer gliding squadrons, even gaining his instructorship.

Learning to fly on Tutor, then Tucano, Hawk and into 29 Sqn for the Typhoon OCU, he went on to serve operationally with 6 Squadron at RAF Lossiemouth across the globe, he returned to 29 Sqn in Sept 2024 as an instructor.

Flt Lt Tom Nation is looking forward to the 2026 season, representing his home nation as best he can while putting on a dynamic, entertaining display that shows his aircraft to its limits.

SPRING INTO NEW BEGINNINGS

The morning air is cool and crisp. Crowds gather on the fields and before them scores of hot air balloons wait like sleeping giants all in a variety of colours, shapes and sizes.

As we see the snowdrops poke through the icy earth, we are reminded that spring is here. Spring helps us to feel hopeful about the future. Brighter days and warmer weather are on the horizon and we have the hope of new beginnings.

In the church, this time of year also offers us hope of a spiritual kind. We have just celebrated pancake day and the next 40 days up until Easter Sunday, is called Lent. As we often spring clean our houses at this time of year, Lent offers us the opportunity to spring clean ourselves, not physically (although perhaps a trip to a spa might also be quite nice!), but metaphorically and spiritually. Taking time out of each day to stop, reflect, take stock, have a clear out of emotions and consider a new beginning.

Some Christians will give something up for Lent (I’m giving up chocolate this year... but don’t worry I’ll still be offering chocolate brownies and biscuits to you during Lent!). The idea is to be drawn closer to God and keep him and living as God would want us to, as the focus. It’s a journey towards Easter Sunday when Christians celebrate Jesus offering love and a new beginning to everyone. As the sun begins to shine and the days lengthen, I hope everyone can enjoy the Spring season and feel hopeful. Perhaps use the next few weeks to set a little time aside each day to stop and be still. To calmly reflect on life and offer yourself some self-care. The chaplaincy centre is open to everyone with or without a faith. If you’re looking for a quiet spot, please do pop in and have a moment of calm.

Uniting communities through music and helping every child reach their full potential.

Our charity is founded on a simple belief: music has the power to bring people together, inspire young minds, and uplift entire communities. Through our festivals, we raise vital funds that give local children aged 7 to 11 the chance to discover the joy of music—opportunities many would not otherwise have. With the passion of our volunteers and supporters, we nurture creativity, build confidence, and spark a lifelong love of music in every child we reach.

What do we do?

We organise music festivals across North Hampshire to fund musical education in primary schools, working closely with Hampshire Music Services. To date, the Winchfield Festival has supported more than 7,500 children—but there is so much more we can do.

Based in the village of Winchfield near Hook, our festivals are about more than music. They bring people together to enjoy great performances, delicious food, and fun activities for all ages. In June 2026, we’ll host ten days of music in many styles, creating wonderful summer evenings for the whole community.

The Winchfield Festival is about having fun while doing good. Join us and help transform young lives through music.

& New York

Hands‑On Learning Shines at Frithville & New York Primary

It’s been a busy and exciting term at Frithville & New York Primary Schools, with children getting stuck into a whole range of creative, practical and curiosity‑fuelled learning experiences.

The School Council and Ambassadors have been working closely with the fantastic PTA to bring some brilliant new playground equipment to the school. Our School Ambassadors have now stepped into the role of Playground Leaders, helping other children play, share and make the most of the new resources every breaktime. Their leadership and enthusiasm have already made playtimes even more fun and inclusive.

Class 3 also had an incredible week celebrating British Science Week. They joined a live Horrible Science lesson on the BBC, learning about space and even helping to create a short film about different planets alongside other schools across the country.

The theme of this year’s Science Week was curiosity, and the children certainly embraced it—conducting a delicious experiment to investigate whether food tastes different depending on its appearance. There was lots of tasting, comparing and discussing… and plenty of smiles!

These activities are a brilliant snapshot of the hands‑on, holistic approach to learning across Frithville & New York Primary Schools—where curiosity, confidence and creativity are encouraged every single day.

“We believe that every student whatever their background has the right to flourish, to achieve and to succeed and everything undertaken by Horncastle Education Trust should have this ambition at its heart.”

Banovallum Forces Champions

Local Station Honors Resilience of Service Children at Banovallum School with Special “Heroes’ Lunch.

In recognition of the unique challenges faced by students with parents serving in the Armed Forces, Banovallum School, in partnership with the local station, hosted a special celebratory lunch to honour the resilience and strength of its “Forces Champions”.

QEGS Students Lifting Their Community

QEGS students have been busy spreading kindness this term, taking on a range of fantastic charity projects across the school.

Sixth Formers had thier annual Charity Week, turning lunchtime into a buzzing mini‑fair with a bake sale, chocolate tombola, raffle and games. With support from Tesco and The Bullring Barbers, they raised an amazing £1,500 (with more still coming in!) for the Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance. Year 12 and 13 also added sponsored fitness challenges to boost the total even further.

A group of Year 12s also launched a brilliant book‑donation drive for Horncastle Primary School. After collecting lots of much‑loved primary‑age reading books, they delivered them in person—earning lovely praise from staff, who said the students were “a real credit to your school.

Not to be outdone, Year 9 hosted their own charity day on Wednesday 28 January, raising money for Elliott’s Arc, a children’s cancer charity. Their stalls included a cake sale, chocolate tombola, name‑the‑teddy, staff baby photos and more. They raised just under £500—a fantastic achievement for a great cause.

Recognizing that having a parent deployed can be an incredibly unsettling and emotional time, the initiative sought to provide a moment of joy and community for these students. To ensure the event felt supportive rather than isolating, each student was invited to bring along a friend of their choice to share the experience, acknowledging the vital role peer support plays during difficult periods.

QualityServices

Across all year groups, QEGS students have shown huge generosity, energy and community spirit. We couldn’t be prouder of everything they’ve done to support others this term.

ALI SQUADRON ACHIEVE SPECIAL OPERATIONS VALIDATION ON EXERCISE HYPERION STORM

In January, RAF Regiment personnel from the Air Land Integration (ALI) Squadron played a vital role on Ex HYPERION STORM.

This exercise was the final phase of preparation for Operation GRAYBACK where the UK will lead the NATO Allied Reaction Force (ARF) Special Operation Component.

The Special Operations Component Command is made up of force elements from the Army Special Operations Brigade (ASOB), UK Commando Force, Support Helicopter Force and RAF Regiment to form a HQ and three Special Operations Task Groups (SOTGs). On HYPERION STORM these Task Groups were assessed by NATO evaluators during a series of mission rehearsals which took place across the North of England. The ALI Squadron, who’s personnel are embedded in two of the SOTGs and the SOCC HQ, are now validated to

provide Special Operations Air Land Integration for the ARF.

Within the SOCC HQ, an ALI Squadron Liaison Officer provided specialist air to advise on the employment of air power and support the planning and execution of special operations. This role also involved liaising with NATO HQ’s across Europe.

Within the Special Operations Land Task Group (SOLTG) an RAF Regiment TACP and JTACs were responsible for integrating air power with land manoeuvre. Working with B Company, 4 Ranger of the ASOB, they planned the integration of aviation and artillery to conduct a range of special reconnaissance and direct-action missions. As Air and Joint Fires experts they were critical in enabling

multi-domain effects in support of the task group.

Within the air domain, the Special Operations Air Task Group (SOATG) saw an ALI Squadron TACP working closely with 27 Squadron Support Helicopter Force and II Squadron RAF Regiment. Their efforts enabled Close Air Support, Temporary Landing Zones, Helicopter Landing Sites, and Forward Refuelling Points. The Air Task Group successfully met over 850 performance measures, demonstrating a broad range of air operations that ensure that they can operate independently or in support of other Task Groups.

Highlights from the exercise included the coordination of RAF Chinooks for the insertion of the Land Task Group during the final assault and the

culmination of the two-week exercise on Otterburn Ranges. Notably, an RAF Regiment JTAC was the first person to fastrope from the helicopter onto the objective.

The UK will assume responsibility for the ARF’s Special Operations Component from July 2026 to June 2027.

The ARF is NATO’s highreadiness, multinational force designed to deploy at very short notice across a wide range of scenarios, including collective defence, crisis response and hybrid threats.

The ALI Squadron will continue to hone their skills through a variety of further training events in the coming months, including courses on advanced urban combat and exercises delivering close air support with a variety of NATO air assets.

50 YEARS OF THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN MEMORIAL FLIGHT IN LINCOLNSHIRE

RAF CONINGSBY AND THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN MEMORIAL FLIGHT (BBMF) RECENTLY CELEBRATED A MILESTONE; 50 YEARS SINCE BBMF ARRIVED AT THE LINCOLNSHIRE BASE ON 1ST MARCH 1976.

The occasion is being marked with a formal ceremony to unveil the newly refurbished BBMF Visitor Centre, a joint facility operated in partnership with Lincolnshire County Council.

The refurbished Visitor Centre will offer visitors an enhanced experience, showcasing the history and heritage of the BBMF — often described as the 'jewel in the crown' of the Royal Air Force — and the iconic aircraft it maintains and flies in honour of those who served.

The ceremony was attended by Group Captain Andy Hampshire, Station Commander of RAF Coningsby, alongside Squadron Leader Paul Wise, Officer Commanding the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, and Leader of Lincolnshire County

Council, Cllr Sean Matthews, and Executive Councillor for Culture, Cllr Natalie Oliver.

Group Captain Hampshire said:

"RAF Coningsby is proud to have been home to the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight for 50 remarkable years. This base has provided the foundation that has enabled BBMF to fulfil its vital commemorative mission for half a century. The refurbishment of the Visitor Centre is a wonderful milestone, and I want to pay particular tribute to Lincolnshire County Council for their generous and sustained support. This partnership reflects everything that is best about the relationship between the RAF and the communities in which we are privileged to serve."

Cllr Natalie Oliver, Executive Councillor for Culture at Lincolnshire County Council, said: “It is an absolute privilege to host the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight in Lincolnshire, honouring the brave men and women who defended our skies and fought for our freedom.

“Through this investment in our Visitor Centre, we are protecting and promoting our county’s proud aviation heritage, ensuring the

sacrifices of our veterans are never forgotten.

“As we celebrate this monumental milestone, I’d like to say a special thank you to our Royal Air Force colleagues, and to our incredible volunteer tour guides, who keep our veterans’ stories alive with tremendous passion and dedication.”

Squadron Leader Wise said:

"To be marking 50 years at RAF Coningsby is a genuinely special moment, and I could not be more proud of everything the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight represents. We exist to keep alive the memory of those who sacrificed so much, and in turn, to inspire the next generation. It is a privilege and a

responsibility we carry with great pride. None of what we do would be possible without the support we receive from the station, and I also want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Lincolnshire County Council, whose partnership has made the Visitor Centre the remarkable facility it is. Finally, the people of Lincolnshire — a county with such a deep and proud connection to RAF heritage — the warmth and enthusiasm you show for BBMF is always hugely appreciated."

3(F) SQUADRON

As the dust settled on 2025 deployments, 3(F) Squadron began the year in the relative calm of home base - well, as calm as a fighter squadron ever gets. While the aircraft enjoyed a breather, the people decided they better hadn’t - instead filling the calendar with enough ‘extra-curricular’ activity to make even the keenest PTI raise an eyebrow.

Leading the charge was Flt Lt Gunn, who masterminded a Force Development excursion to London with all the efficiency of a man who definitely did not Google the itinerary the night before.

Highlights included paying homage to the Squadron’s 1912 origins at the Imperial War Museum London, lunching in MOD Main Building, and a visit to the United States Embassy London—where USN exchange officer Lt Winders was approximately as excited as a child on Christmas morning. A tour of the Tower of London rounded things off, with the entire party returning home without anyone being detained, questioned, or politely asked to leave. A win by any metric.

Not to be outdone, the Squadron’s sporting elite set their sights on Hyrox –apparently following last year’s

CO’s Cup triumph it was the next logical challenge. Six gym-obsessed warriors (plus two very committed superfans)

deployed to Turin, returning gloriously adorned in medals and protein-shake-fuelled self-belief.

Back at home, the Squadron focused on bringing new blood up to speed. A warm welcome to Flt Lts Parke and Burke, who have already flown more hours in a month than they saw on the OCU - proof, if ever needed, that 3(F) wastes no time, and the champion Typhoon engineering team keep leading the way in aircraft serviceability! Meanwhile, the JPs demonstrated admirable radar-evading skills by scattering globally: some to Nellis for Red Flag, another to Saudi for Spears of Victory, and all of them comfortably out of reach when jobs needed doing.

February brought a muchneeded get-together in the traditional form of a Dining-In Night - a collective opportunity to undo the good work of dry January. We bid farewell to Lt Will Ried – off to become a QWI legend - and SENGO Sqn Ldr Harrison-Jones, whose ‘five-minute’ speech heroically ensured nobody reached the bar before closing.

All told, an energetic start to what promises to be a very busy year ahead.

We are a small village primary school which is friendly and welcoming. We aim to provide a learning experience that your child will enjoy and remember.
