	CHECKSIX / Reports: RAF Chinook Display
		The airfield that became RAF Odiham opened in 1925 with a grass strip and was used by the Army Cooperation aircraft from April to September.
		The RAF are in the process of reorganising their squadrons and stations and the future for Odiham is unclear as Joint Helicopter Command considers a relocation and amalgamation of its units to RAF Lyneham.
		Although the RAF had a replacement back at RIAT before the Saturday display due to some confusion the display team were not allocated a display slot so had to sit out the first day of the biggest military air show in the world.

	Martin B-26 Marauder
		Removal of the white segments of the invasion stripes on the upper surfaces (exposing the dull primer) was adopted by some American crews in the interests of camouflage from enemy fighter attention.
		14 (Bomber) Squadron was the first in the RAF to receive the aircraft, this example (FK375, named Dominion Revenge) being taken on charge at Fayid in August 1942 and flown on operations from LG 224.
		However, the RAF repeated the criticisms voiced elsewhere, and these were confirmed by trials with an aircraft in the United Kingdom, with the result that deliveries to the Middle East were stockpiled at Maintenance Units and No. 14 Squadron for many months remained the only RAF Marauder-equipped squadron, persevering with their aircraft until September 1944.
