GENERATION
One
THOMAS COVINGTON (2504). Born:
about 1773 in Hampshire. Father: not known (0). Mother: not known (0). Mar: 28
Aug 1797 in
Alverstoke,
Hampshire to Jessop, Ann (4184). Alverstoke is a small settlement which forms
part of the borough of Gosport, on the south
coast of
Hampshire, England. It stretches east–west from Fort Blockhouse, Haslar to
Browndown Battery, and is centred 0.5 miles east of
the shore
of Stokes Bay and near the head of a creek which extends a mile westward from
Portsmouth Harbour.
“Alverstoke”
is a corruption of the name Alvara, a former Lady of the Manor, and Stoke a
settlement on the area known as the Marsh
Ground. St.
Mary’s Church is not mentioned in the Domesday Book. The first known reference
to its existence is dated 1122. There is
slender
evidence to support the belief that there was a Saxon church at Alverstoke and
that this was succeeded by a Norman church entirely
rebuilt in 1625. In 1724 the roof was raised
and in about 1737 a gallery was built at the West end. (Last updated: 20/03/2022

(4272). Mar:
12 Sep 1865 in Wimborne, Dorset to Cross, George Isaac (). Died: 25 Apr 1926 in
Wimborne, Dorset aged 83. Had 8
children
with George Isaac Cross. His father was Joseph Cross & his mother was named
Elvia. He was christened 6 Sep 1844 in
Wimborne.
It would
appear that this was the beginning of the Covington-Cross lineage in that their
first born child is shown in birth records as Emma
Coventon
Cross. Although all subsequent children are recorded simply as Cross, their son
George Edward (ref 3780) began using the
name
Covington-Cross and his wife, Lottie Violet (nee Borley) is shown as having
that surname when she died in 1978..
For the
purposes of this project & to provide other Covington-Cross members with
their family tree info, I have recorded all of Sarah &
George's
children as being named Covington-Cross, although some may not have used this
name.
In 1851
when aged 8 she lodged at the home of Ann Dibben, who was the mother-in-law of
her mother's sister, Jane Lock. In 1861 she was
a servant in
West Street, Wimborne. (info from Kim Tilsed Aug 2009 e.mail kimtilsed

The Joint
Force Harrier Concept - Cdre Bill Covington: "Bill Covington began flying
in 1975, first on the Gannet and then the Sea Harrier
(including
a tour on AV-8s with the USMC). He has commanded Nos 801 and 899 NASs, served
as Cdr(Air) at Portland and aboard HMS
Illustrious
and flown combat missions in the South Atlantic. Following a variety of staff
appointments and command of Yeovilton he became
Commodore
JF2000 and Senior Naval Officer at HQ STC in 2003.
"The
birthplace of the Joint Force Harrier concept was within the 1998 Strategic
Defence Review. The Review stressed the importance of
joint
operations in the delivery of warfighting capabilities and included within it
the announcement of the creation of Joint Force 2000. This
force was
to be based on a single, common aircraft type which was to be equally capable
of operating from land and sea. It was recognised
that such a capability would not be fully
achieved until the introduction into service of the Joint Combat Aircraft (JCA)
and new larger aircraft
carriers post-2012. Prior to that the JF2000
concept would be taken forward in the form of Joint Force Harrier (JFH).
I note, for
posterity, that it was so named, rather than the easier-to-say Joint Harrier
Force, to avoid possible confusion with the abbreviation
for the
Joint Helicopter Command (JHC) and the sometimes-used JHF for Joint Helicopter
Force. Joint Force Harrier is the pilot scheme for
the JCA/CVF era and the JF2000 study left an
imprint that guided our initial thinking. JF2000 sought a balanced and joint
JCA force,
organised
as four front line squadrons, two light blue heavy, in manning terms, and two
dark blue heavy. They would be brigaded, with a
RAF and a
RN squadron operating together as a ‘wing’. This was to encourage convergence
of best practice for land and sea operations
whilst
anchoring that vital fighting ethos within squadron badges for each colour of uniform.
I should
add that, within the concept of being ‘equally’ capable of operation from land
and sea the term, ‘equally’ was more to provide a
sense of
equality in capability and similarity in operations if not actually identical
in every way. It certainly provided the impetus behind the
adaptation
of today’s Invincible-class aircraft carriers for Harrier operations.
Initially,
Joint Force
Harrier was based on a multi-role capability provided by utilising the legacy
platforms in their core roles of offensive support for
the Harrier
GR7 and air defence for the Sea Harrier FA2. You have heard from Gp Capt
Golledge of the successful employment of CVS-
based RAF
Harriers operating over Iraq and Sierra Leone. The latter was a particularly
good example of JFH elements: No 3 Sqn and No
801 NAS,
working together in an extremely successful operation where the desired effect
was produced by noise and the mere ‘presence’
of air
power, plus the limited but, as it happened, critical recce capability
represented by the Sea Harrier’s side-facing F95 camera.
Unfortunately,
one drawback of a force with two aircraft types to provide one combined
capability is that it doubles the cost if both platforms
require the
same upgrade. Faced with a shortfall in funding for the GR9 programme, and a
reduced air defence requirement in the present
decade,
this doubling of cost was particularly significant in the context of the
Harrier ‘big engine’ debate. For carrier operations in the hot
temperatures
of the post-Cold War ‘arc of crisis’, both aircraft required the Pegasus 11-61
engine and its extra 1,500 to 2,500 lb of installed
thrust. But, and many would say regrettably,
there was only sufficient money for one, and that, quite clearly, had to be
spent on the more
relevant
offensive capability, and the newer airframe, of the GR7. I believe that the
decision to pay off the FA2 early was both bold and
imaginative.
With some
potential risk to one layer of maritime air defence it meant that JFH could
fund the GR9 programme and match that capability
with the
CVS. It also, and more importantly, reflected the latest thinking in terms of
the UK’s air power requirements in that it afforded priority
to offensive support over air defence. One
must also remember that without the 11-61 engine the FA2, in my opinion,
represented a
somewhat
hollow capability because of the constraints imposed on deck operations by high
ambient temperatures.
The result
was a ‘balance of investment’ decision that the pragmatic way ahead was to
invest in just one mark of Harrier, the RAF GR7, and
to upgrade
it to the GR9 standard. The three RAF squadrons would also be reorganised to
create four squadrons of nine aircraft each,
brigaded in
pairs, in accord with future plans for JCA. The need for four squadrons is
based on deployability. Post-Sea Harrier, the GR9 will
have to sustain sea-based training and
detachments in addition to land-based activities.
This results
in some twenty-one weeks of sea time per year vice the present six. It also
creates a slightly enhanced manpower requirement
in order to
underpin the annual exercise programme and ensure that operations are
achievable within the harmony guidelines for RN and
RAF
personnel. It is believed that four deployable units will provide the best
baseline structure for this, and this format and its adaptability in
terms of
scaling detachment sizes and shapes for operations will be tested before JFH
makes way for JCA.
The concept
is for a RAF and a RN squadron to work together when at RAF Cottesmore, the
main JFH operating base. When deployed,
the
principle will be for the RAF squadrons to lead on landbased operations and for
the RN squadrons to lead when embarked. As with
most plans,
this is merely an assumption and the final execution will depend on
availability and which squadron is best suited to deal with a
particular
event.
However, we
do wish to maximise the opportunities for cross-pollination of core experience
and best practice in both environments. For
example, No
4 Sqn found going to sea last September that much easier for having RN
personnel within its ranks and, likewise, RN
personnel,
now in Afghanistan,
The first
GR9 trials aircraft – note the figure 9 on the starboard wing.
Have
learned new skills from their RAF colleagues. Pairing of the squadrons and
maintaining an option for personnel of each Service to
serve with
the other colour of squadron will also maximise interaction without upsetting
single-Service ethos and the morale of our people.
This we
must never forget.
The last
Sea Harrier unit, No 801 NAS, will be decommissioned in March 2006. At the same
time No 3 Sqn will hand over their Harrier
baton to No
800 NAS before going on to become the first operational Typhoon squadron. The
four-squadron organisation will stand to in the
following October so the next eighteen months
are going to be very busy for JFH personnel.
Let me now
turn to the equipment programme for Joint Force Harrier. The Pegasus 11-61
engine programme is already being
implemented,
refitted airframes being designated as GR7A or GR9A. It will, of course, be no
surprise if I point out that the extra thrust
makes the
re-engined Harrier the aircraft of choice, not only for embarked operations but
also for hot and high airfields – like Kandahar in
Afghanistan
– and for any form of tactical flying. It is already a great success. Next up
will be the GR9 conversion programme which is
proceeding
on schedule; the first two aircraft are currently awaiting clearance to start
flying with the Operational Evaluation Unit.
The GR9
overcomes obsolescence and provides new avionics and open architecture software
to support the next generation of weapons.
The
aircraft will be cleared for the new precision guided bomb, Brimstone, legacy
weapons, secure comms and an enhanced recce
capability
with the Joint Recce Pod. In all, a potent punch that will sustain the Harrier
well into the next decade when it is to be replaced by
the Joint
Combat Aircraft.
This
audience will be familiar with recent developments in the application of air
power and flying from Deployed Operating Bases (DOB).
Gp Capt Golledge has previously
highlighted some facets of this in the specific context of the Harrier. Let me,
therefore, concentrate on the
development
of the CVS to support Harrier operations. There have been many changes to the
CVS since the GR7 first went to sea. The
Sea Dart
missile system has been removed to improve air munition magazine space and to
extend the flight deck. This makes operating
fourteen or
fifteen aircraft comfortable with an overload capacity of up to eighteen if
required.
Most
significantly the satellite communications bandwidth has been increased to
improve connectivity – particularly for mission planning,
aircrew video
conferencing for COMAO planning, and reachback for the handling of recce
products. Deck lighting is now NVG-compatible
and a TACAN
will become standard fit with PAR/ILS to come. Inside the ships, the aircrew
briefing facilities have been upgraded and
workshop
and store rooms have been reconfigured to support the Harrier in a flexible
manner, making best use of the supply chain whilst
providing a
robust ability to sustain operations while at sea.
The key
message is that this is not a re-birth of a naval-only aviation component but
the development of a, truly joint, fast jet capability that
will be
available to a Joint Force Air Component Commander (JFACC) and represent the
most efficient expression of British air power. The
operational concept for JFH is fairly
straightforward. The training programme is written to sustain all elements of
the squadron,
HMS
Illustrious with ten assorted RN and RAF Harriers ranged. Exercising both
deployed operating base and carrier teams, to provide
flexible
options to the military planners. Dependant upon political assessments and
objectives, the geography of a crisis area, and the
availability
of access, basing and overflight for the deployment phase, JFH can deploy as
required.
This may be
direct to a DOB, self-ferried or with in-flight refuelling. Or it could equally
be to a CVS at Portsmouth or to a deployment point
overseas.
If range or persistence requires extension, a Forward Arm and Refuel Point
(FARP) could be involved to exploit the potential
represented
by the CVS or DOB, although the full details of this concept are still being
refined.
I emphasise
the notion of flexibility. To the taskers in a Joint Force HQ, or to a target
set, or to the army for CAS, it is largely immaterial
whether the
Harriers have come from an airfield or an aircraft carrier. There are benefits
to both and it will be a political/military decision as
to which is
the best way to deploy. Once in theatre the aircraft can move between sites if
necessary. The limiting factor being airlift and
transport
between the sites. All these options have been trialled recently and will
continue to be tested.
The
objective is not only to exploit the unique capabilities of today’s Harriers
but also to pave the way for the introduction of the STOVL JCA.
In conclusion, whilst there are still a number
of convergence issues to overcome, and the GR9 and personnel migration
programmes are
still in
their infancy, Joint Force Harrier is well on its way to delivering a truly
joint, global and flexible capability that harnesses the best of the
RAF’s and
the RN’s unique operating patterns with seamless connection to air command and
control and the application of air power. To
take the
strap lines of the two Services: JFH has every intention of ensuring that ‘The
Team Works’ to ‘Rise Above the Rest’.
AFTERNOON
DISCUSSION
Peter
Symes. I have two questions. Passing reference has been made to ‘viffing’ and I
wonder if someone could elaborate on that.
Secondly, I
have read of a blue-on-blue incident where coloured identification markings
displayed on the ground were not recognised
because
cockpit displays are in black-and-white. Is there, therefore, a need for colour
imaging?
Cdre Bill
Covington. Taking the second point first, camouflage and ground colours are an
interesting area. It is often the case that blackand-
white
provides the best results when showing up irregularities in shape and form to
reveal hidden items. Work is going on in the field of
colour
displays and the associated technology is improving but I am not in a position
say exactly how much progress has been made or
what the
pros and cons are. It could be that, as with some infra red systems, which
allow you to select black-on-white or white-on-black,
depending
on what you’re looking for, the ultimate answer may be to include colour
options with the ability to select the one best suited to
the
particular circumstances.
Sir Patrick
Hine. Could anyone comment on how the risk of blueon-blue engagements was
minimised during Gulf War II?
Gp Capt
Andy Golledge. I would offer the observation that our current targeting pod,
the TIALD pod, does have some limitations in that its
discrimination
is not really adequate from 20,000 feet, which was the kind of altitudes at
which many sorties were flown. For the future, for

in Alverstoke,
Hampshire to Covington, John (3113). Dear Mr Covington,
I see from
your website you have a Tauranac in your genealogy. Tauranac is a very unusual
name , all those in the world having descended
from Jean-
Louis Bacoue, Sieur de la Salle who for reasons yet to be explained adopted the
name of his brother's estate (Isaac was Sieur
de Tauranac
) when as a Hugenot he fled France in 1685.
I am the
convenor of a Bacoue /Tauranac family reunion to be held at the Bacoue/Tauranac
ancestral home, the Chateau Malvirade , near
Casteljaloux,
Lot et Garonne, on 8 July, 2005. If any of your Tauranac/Covington descendants
would like to attend, they are cordially invited.
We take the
Tauranac / Bacoue line back to 1523 in France (as part of the nobility of
course!). Professor Stehen Gersh who is also
following
the line takes associated families back to the 1200s. If any Tauranac/Covington
descendants would like details, please ask them
to contact
me. I leave Australia on 22 June.
Best
wishes, Stephen Sharpe (E-Mail 2005 de_tauranac@bigpond.com) (Last updated:
