Welcome to RAF Shawbury

RAF Shawbury in Shropshire trains around 1,000 students a year from across the UK Armed Services and international partners to be robust, resilient military personnel, technically second to none.

The Defence Helicopter Flying School trains aircrew for the Royal Navy, British Army and the Royal Air Force. The Central Flying School (Helicopter) delivers the next generation of helicopter instructors. 

The Defence College of Air and Space Operations (DCASO), recently formed on 1 Jan 2019, bringing together the School of Aerospace Battle Management (SABM) at RAF Boulmer and the School of Air Operations Control (SAOC) at RAF Shawbury. The College trains the next generation of air traffic controllers, Air and Space Operations personnel and is a worldwide centre of excellence on leading-edge battlespace management training and education. In addition, it delivers pre-deployment training to those about to deploy on operations as well as training selected personnel as instructors.

There are approximately 1,200 personnel working at RAF Shawbury, around 500 Service personnel supported by MOD civilian and contractor colleagues.

On 21 Dec 18, Group Capt Mullen assumed Command of RAF Shawbury, where he is also the Commandant of the tri-Service Defence Helicopter Flying School and Commandant Defence College of Air and Space Operations. 

A liaison officer from RAF Shawbury usually attends every meeting of the parish council. Any news regarding the RAF will appear in our Minutes and on this website.

The Parish Council also has a representative on the Helicopter Noise Liaison Group, which meets every few months.  

So if you have any questions or matters to raise, do come along to a parish council meeting, or contact the Clerk who will pass on your comments.
