Why buying new could be the smartest move for your future For many buyers, finding the right home is no longer just about location or layout. It’s about long-term value, efficiency and peace of mind.

As the cost of living continues to shape buying decisions, more people are turning to new-build homes as a smart, future-focused investment. Combining modern construction standards with energy efficient features and lower maintenance requirements, new homes are designed to support both your lifestyle and your finances from day one.

At Chestnut Homes, we’re seeing increasing interest from buyers who want more certainty and control over their monthly outgoings, alongside a home that’s ready to move into without the need for costly upgrades or renovations.

One of the biggest advantages of buying a new-build home is the potential for significantly lower running costs. Built to meet the latest energy efficiency standards, modern homes are designed to retain heat more effectively and reduce energy waste. This can make a noticeable difference to monthly bills, helping to reduce monthly household bills and provide greater financial stability.

According to industry research from the Home Builders Federation, buyers of new-build homes could save thousands each year on energy bills compared to those living in older properties. With energy prices continuing to fluctuate, this added efficiency offers valuable reassurance and longer-term savings.

Beyond immediate cost benefits, new homes are also built with the future in mind. Older properties often require upgrades to meet modern efficiency standards, whether that’s improving insulation, replacing windows or updating heating systems. These works can be both disruptive and expensive, particularly for buyers who want to settle in quickly.

By contrast, a new-build home is ready from the outset. From high-performance insulation to efficient heating systems and modern construction methods, everything is designed to meet current regulations, reducing the likelihood of additional investment in the near future. For buyers, this means fewer unexpected costs and a smoother transition into their new home.

Another key factor driving demand is the long-term value of energy efficient properties. As sustainability becomes an increasingly important consideration for buyers, homes with stronger energy performance are likely to remain attractive in the market, helping to protect your investment over time.

Improved energy efficiency also means a lower environmental impact, allowing homeowners to reduce their carbon footprint without compromising on comfort or design.

Practical benefits also play a significant role. New-build homes typically require far less maintenance than older properties, where hidden issues can quickly turn into costly repairs. With everything brand new, from the roof and windows to the boiler and appliances, buyers can move in with confidence, knowing that their home is built for modern living.

For added peace of mind, new homes also come with a 10-year structural warranty, helping to protect against unexpected issues and providing reassurance during the early years of ownership.

The buying process itself can also be simpler and more efficient. With a brand-new property, there is no onward chain involved, helping to reduce delays and uncertainty. This can be particularly beneficial for buyers who are relocating or working to a specific timeframe, allowing for a smoother and often quicker move.

For members of the RAF and their families, this added certainty can be especially valuable. Whether you’re looking for a long-term family home, relocating for work or searching for a property that better suits your next chapter, a new-build home can offer flexibility, comfort and reassurance from the moment you move in.

For those who reserve early in the build process, there may also be opportunities to personalise aspects of the home. From kitchen finishes and worktops to tiling and décor choices, buyers can often tailor their property to suit their style, creating a home that feels uniquely theirs from the moment they move in.

We’re continuing to build communities across Lincolnshire with a focus on quality, efficiency and thoughtful design. Each home is carefully crafted to meet the needs of modern living, offering flexible layouts, high specifications and a strong emphasis on long-term performance.

Whether you’re stepping onto the property ladder, relocating for work or simply looking for a home that offers greater efficiency and lower outgoing costs, buying new presents a compelling option.

With a combination of reduced bills, minimal maintenance, future-ready design and lasting value, a new-build home is not just a place to live, it’s an investment in your future.

Stn Cdr’s Foreword Gp Capt Hampshire

Welcome to the summer edition of the station magazine.

s I reflect on our station’s recent endeavours and accomplishments, it is clear to me that RAF Coningsby continues to strive for excellence through our activities and high operational tempo.

Our unfaltering Whole Force dedication in support of operations and exercises, both at home and abroad, remains integral in protecting our national security and interests overseas.

Ex Agile Warrior was a key exercise for our development, both here at RAF Coningsby and across the wider RAF, testing our resilience and ability to support and continue operations whilst under threat from a potential enemy. It was fantastic to see the whole station engaging with the exercise and adapting to all the scenarios that arose.

The amount of planning that had gone into creating the exercise was clear to see and thanks to the high dedication from everyone involved, we have furthered our efforts to strive to be the best we can in a constantly changing world.

Operational taskings abroad have also continued with 3(F) Squadron deploying as part of NATO’s Eastern Air Policing

mission, working with our allies to secure international borders from overseas threats. Back at home, it was fantastic to see the Typhoon Display Team being awarded Public Display Authority for the summer months ahead.

My huge congratulations to the whole display team who have worked tirelessly to make this happen, allowing us to showcase our ability and resources to the public eye.

Whilst focusing on the present, we must always remember to honour the past and pay tribute to those who sacrificed their lives to secure our freedoms.

12 Squadron’s trip to Belgium to pay respect to fallen soldiers in WW2 is a poignant reminder of their bravery and why it is our duty to uphold their memories through our dedication and service.

Moving ahead, we have a great many summer events to look forward to including the summer balls and garden parties, which I hope many of you will endeavour to attend and, most importantly, enjoy.

My sincere thanks go out to all of you for your enduring professionalism and dedication, and I look forward to seeing some of you around the unit in the coming months.

Handover Flypast

major moment during the deployment was the change of command from Wg Cdr Sonny Roe to Wg Cdr David Giffiths, who passed the torch of commanding the UK’s premier fighter squadron, whilst under the Romanian sun.

Immense thanks go to Wg Cdr Roe for his superb leadership of the eminent squadron, and a very warm welcome to Wg Cdr Griffiths - who has previously served on 3(F) and returns, this time, to take the helm.

The NATO deployment sees the team working tirelessly to maintain a high operational tempo, delivering assurance to our allies and, just occasionally, reminding certain uninvited aircraft that international borders are, in fact, not suggestions. Operating Quick Reaction Alert alongside Romanian F-16s proves both professionally rewarding and a good test of one’s ability to pronounce Romanian airfields without disappointing the linguists. The squadron took

over from colleagues in the Luftwaffe, marking the handover with a spectacular three-ship formation flypast featuring aircraft from all three nations. Upon completion, the RAF will be handing over air policing responsibility to the Ejército del Aire y del Espacio – a truly collaborative ongoing operation.

Back on home turf, the remaining UK-based team has also been keeping busy, gamely covering QRA duties whilst many other squadrons are deployed abroad. Their efforts have ensured that the nation’s airspace remains well protected - and that nobody forgets just how loud a Typhoon scramble can be at 3AM… Socially, due to deployment, summer has been relatively dry (meteorologically and otherwise), with one glorious exception: the 3(F) Sqn Association Dinner at the Woodhall Spa Golf Hotel. This annual gathering once again brought together current members and legendary

veterans of the squadron, providing an excellent evening of camaraderie, storytelling, and gentle exaggeration about “how things used to be…” The squadron is looking forward to having a get-together and some late summer BBQs once the deployment is competed.

For now, that is 3(F)…

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.”

LINCS TATCC FD DAY THE POWER OF INVITATION On Friday 1 May 2026, personnel from Lincolnshire Terminal Air Traffic Control Centre (Lincs TATCC) undertook an FD staff ride to the International Bomber Command Centre (IBCC) in Lincoln, aptly named Ex Lincoln Typhoon.

T

his day occurred on a rare regional no fly day which were introduced to help personnel decompress from work and to facilitate events such as this. The aim of the day was to develop cohesion in the TATCC through collective education and remembrance whilst also being a platform for discussions on the optimisation of the TATCC. The day started with a whole unit photograph outside the TATCC before changing into civilian attire and boarding a coach bound for the IBCC. The weather was glorious with suncream being applied generously and a variety of sunglasses sported. When we arrived at the IBCC a small forum was held in the wellmanicured grounds behind the centre by the TATCC Cdr: Sqn Ldr Jackson; giving an opportunity for people to contribute ideas on how to improve TATCC life and processes alike. This was then followed by a guided tour of the grounds by one of the expert volunteers at the IBCC. This included the iconic memorial overlooking Lincoln which fun fact… the taller half of the memorial is the same length as a Lancaster Bomber’s wingspan!

This was followed by a period of individual reflection time for people to use how they saw fit. Many chose to find their surname among the many names of fallen aviators and ponder on questions of what if?

The day rounded to a close with a final address from the TATCC Cdr followed by lunch at the IBCC and a frantic scrambling in the gift shop to buy souvenirs for family members before departing back to RAF Coningsby via coach.

Overall, this was a hugely important and memorable day for the TATCC with personnel already looking forward to the next TATCC FD day in the calendar!

One of the great privileges of being a Padre at Coningsby is seeing the breadth of life on the station.

F

rom quiet offices to noisy hangars and workshops, we gain an insight into the numerous roles people play and into the lives they lead. I enjoy seeing each Squadron and section’s distinct identity, each with their own history and stories to share.

Yet, with all the people and activity, so much can be missed. I sometimes hear people say, "That happens at Coningsby?" or "When was that?". Almost every noticeboard on the station is full of invitations, and there is a steady stream of notices posted on Teams, yet they can get lost in the crowd. So, there is no shortage of invites, but I wonder: when was the last time you personally invited

someone to see where you work, what your section does, or to your club or event?

It’s not always possible, but a personal invitation can make all the difference.

When Jesus called his first disciples, it was not at a massive gathering; he personally walked up to Simon and Andrew and said, "Come, follow me."

Station life is busy, but if you are starting a club, hosting an event, and you can think of someone who may be interested, invite them along. Also, consider this your invitation to see us at the Chaplaincy during the week. We are here on Sunday mornings at 10:00, and you are always welcome.

12 SQUADRON COMMEMORATES

FALLEN AIRMEN IN BELGIUM

Personnel from 12 Squadron recently travelled to Belgium to honour the sacrifice and legacy of those who gave their lives during the Second World War, with particular focus on the actions surrounding the destruction of the Albert Canal bridges in May 1940.

he visit formed part of the Squadron’s ongoing commitment to preserving the history, heritage, and traditions of the Royal Air Force, whilst ensuring the courage and sacrifice of previous generations continue to be remembered by those serving today.

the bridge attack carried out by 12 Squadron in May 1940, showing how low to the bridge the 12 Squadron Fairey Battles had to fly to ensure that the destruction was accomplished.

It was this low flying which put them in direct anti-air fire from the Germans, which ultimately resulted in 2 Fairey Battles crashing.

Central to the commemoration were Flying Officer (F/O) Garland VC, Sergeant (Sgt) Gray VC and Leading Aircraftsman (LAC) Reynolds, whose actions, during the attack on the strategically vital bridges, became one of the most celebrated acts of gallantry in the early stages of the war.

Post ceremony, 12 Squadron personnel visited Heverlee War Cemetery, to pay respects to allied forces who perished during WW2. Personnel were able to visit the gravesites of F/O Garland VC, Sgt Gray VC & LAC Reynolds, whilst reflecting on the extraordinary courage displayed by the young men during the opening days of the WW2.

During the visit, members of the Squadron attended memorial sites and paid tribute at locations connected to the operation and the sacrifice of the aircrew.

The first ceremony, on Monday 11th May, was in Vroenhoven.

Personnel from the Belgian Air Force, the RAF and the Belgian Living History Association (BLHA) attended to pay respects. During the ceremony, the Belgian Air Force reenacted

On Tuesday 12th May, Squadron personnel took part in a wreath laying ceremony, at the locations of the 2 Fairey Battle crash sites in Veldwezelt. These crash sites are pertinent to 12 Squadron history, as these are the crash sites of F/O Garland, Sgt Gray, Sgt Marland, Sgt Footner & LAC Perrin. These crash sites have had memorial plaques erected to commemorate the

12 Sqn personnel in front of Vroenhoven memorial. bravery and sacrifice of the 12 Squadron Airman killed during their attack on the Albert Canal Bridges. These commemoration plaques are maintained by the locals & the BLHA, showing their respect and thankfulness to the courageous acts of 12 Squadron. During these wreath laying ceremonies, the BLHA, Flt Lt Tarr and Locals spoke words on the bravery, sacrifice and how these actions secured the freedom we have today.

The commemoration also provided an important opportunity for serving personnel to strengthen their understanding of Squadron history and the enduring values of service, courage, and sacrifice that continue to define the Royal Air Force

today. By visiting the sites where these events unfolded, personnel gained a deeper appreciation of the realities faced by wartime aircrew and the significance of preserving their legacy for future generations.

As 12 Squadron continues to operate at the forefront of modern air power, the legacy of the aircrew who sadly lost their lives during the Albert Canal attacks, and all those who served before remains a source of pride and inspiration. Their courage, professionalism, and selfless commitment to duty continue to embody the highest standards of the Royal Air Force and will not be forgotten.

FRITHVILLE PRIMARY SCHOOL www.frithville.lincs.sch.uk

At both Frithville and New York Primary Schools we know that children learn best when they are happy and secure. We work hard to create a safe, caring and nurturing environment which encourages the children, but also the staff and to thrive as a community.

In December 2018 both Primary Schools converted to academies and became part of the Horncastle Education Trust, along with Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School and Banovallum School, and then in December 2022, Huttoft Primary School joined our family of schools . We have a Local Governing Body over the two schools comprising of local authority representatives, teaching staff, parents and community governors from both schools. Both schools are improving schools and were graded as “Good” in our last Ofsted inspections in February and March 2017.

We believe that every child has an entitlement to a broad and balanced education. We are inclusive schools, which means that we receive children from all cultures and faiths and with a wide range of abilities and disabilities. We are committed to enabling all our children to achieve high standards of attainment and to reach their potential whatever their abilities.

The aim is to make the curriculum as child centred as possible, making learning stimulating and fun. We understand that all children are different and we try to find out how each child learns best. We believe the quality of learning is a direct result of the quality of teaching and constantly strive to improve. We have a commitment to working in partnership with parents, families and carers, and the collaborative schools in our cluster. Ours is a community school and we are developing a network of support for our families based here at the school.

We are mindful of the future and aim to prepare our children for the challenges of life yet to come. As well as equipping them with basic skills, we endeavour to develop in their personal qualities such as creativity, resourcefulness, independence and adaptability to enable them to become happy, successful and self-sufficient citizens of the 21st Century.

Proud members of Horncastle Education trust.

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.

“We invite you to visit our school and see firsthand what makes it special—exceptional students, committed staff, and a broad, engaging curriculum designed to support and inspire every learner.”

his milestone signals the green light for the 2026 display season and marks the culmination of months of rigorous preparation behind the scenes.

This year, Flight Lieutenant Tom Nation will deliver an impressive schedule of 32 displays across the UK and Europe. With international appearances in Sweden and Denmark, the team will showcase the superb capability of the RAF Typhoon to audiences both at home and abroad. This year’s workup has not been without its challenges. Persistent poor weather conditions threatened to disrupt training, but the determination of the team has ensured they achieved PDA on schedule.

Supporting the display pilot is not only the core TDT management team, but a highly skilled team drawn from 29 Sqn, comprising of 7 Engineering Officers and 15 aircraft engineers. Split into three teams—Gina, Blackjack and Moggy—these specialists ensure the aircraft is maintained to the highest standard. 6 Cyberspace Communication Specialists will deploy in pairs with the engineering team, allowing them to operate away from

the home location. The team is further made up by 21 Public Relations representatives from across RAF Coningsby. Their varied roles bring a wealth of experience and breadth, helping to engage with audiences and promote the RAF at every event.

As final preparations are completed, excitement is building for what promises to be a standout summer. We hope to see you at one of our displays this season!
