Royal Air Force Staff College Bracknell
The Royal Air Force Staff College Bracknell was a Bracknell , Berkshire- based training center for Royal Air Force executives .
history
The training facility existed from 1945 to 1997. In 1945, parts of an older training facility in Ramslade House were merged to form the Royal Air Force College. The subordination changed several times, first from the Reserve Command to the Home Command and 1968 to the Training Command, in 1973 finally to the RAF Support Command, whereby the area of responsibility did not change. In 1994 the command was reassigned one last time, this time to the Personnel and Training Command, before it was dissolved on January 1, 1997 and its training content was transferred to the Joint Services Command and Staff College .
In the years that followed, the building was used as the location for the police station for the television series Inspector Barnaby (Midsomer Murders).
task
The main subjects of the training were the training of staff officers in the field of political aspects and administrative aspects in the management of large formations tailored to the needs of the British Air Force. The training at the college is comparable to the general staff training of the German armed forces at the command academy of the Bundeswehr in Hamburg . There were regular exchanges with other air forces, and German general staff officers also took part in the training in Bracknell.
