No 606 (Chiltern) Squadron was formed as a Royal Auxiliary Air Force helicopter support squadron in 1996 at RAF Benson and gaining its official number three years later on 1 October 1999.[1] It provides personnel for the RAF tactical support helicopter fleet and does not operate any aircraft itself.[2]

History

The squadron code ‘BG’ was allocated to No 606 Squadron RAuxAF in 1939, but it was never activated during the Second World War.[3]

Since its reformation in 1996, personnel from the squadron have deployed on Operations across the globe including Afghanistan, the Falkland Islands, Cyprus and Iraq.[4]

No. 606 was deployed to Brunei, to assist No. 1563 Flight RAF in their move from temporary home base in Rimba Air Force Base to Medicina Lines.[5]

Blackcurrant production in the United States

Agricultural production Blackcurrant fruit Blackcurrant production in the United States is relatively limited. The blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum) was introduced by English settlers at the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1629 and was cultivated on some scale, particularly in New York. The plant acts as a host for the white pine blister rust that threatened the timber industry. In 1911, the federal government banned the cultivation, sale, and transport of blackcurrants to protect the white pine. Gover...
