BRITISH REVIEWI start this month with the sad news of the loss of five men when their Lynx AH.9A helicopter crashed in Kandahar Province,Afghanistan on 26th April 2014. Four of the personnel were based at Odiham with 657 Sqn; the fifth was a member of the ArmyReserve. My condolences go to all the family of those people that were lost.The temporary grounding of the Air Cadet Glider fleet took place just before the Easter break. This was due an error in the paperworkfor the aircraft which was found during the auditing process and nothing to do with the aircraft themselves.It has been confirmed that Waddington runways will close mid September 2014 and will not reopen until November 2015....Mick Boulanger (Military movements is history, now and for our future)
