In this issue Chairman’s Introduction Page 2 Wings and Wheels 2014 Page 3 Engineering Report Page 9 General Aviation – the future Page 12 Visitors to XM655 Page 13 Vulcan Identification Page 15 Notice of Annual General Meeting Page 18 Around the World in 19 Days Page 18 Picture credits Page 23 The Chairman’s Introduction Charles Brimson As we approach the end of 2014 it is with a sense of quiet pride that all of us who are the custodians of XM655 can reflect on the success of the two notable celebrations that we have marked during the year. We started in February with the 30th anniversary of the Vulcan arriving at Wellesbourne in 1984, the start of ‘655’s second career when the aircraft was bought by businessman Roy Jacobsen with his ambitious plans for the Vulcan to fly on the British and American air show circuits based at Wellesbourne and captained by Joe L’Estrange. Alas, the plans never came to pass, but Roy’s loss was MaPS’ (and therefore all military aircraft enthusiasts’) gain as for 30 years we have been the proud custodians of the world’s only Olympus 301-powered Vulcan able to move (on the ground at least) under its own power. In November, we will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the ‘birth’ of XM655 at the Avro works in Woodford and Chadderton back in November 1964. Our Vulcan was the third last of 136 manufactured by Avro and for the last thirty years has been the youngest surviving example, although at the ripe old age of 50 ‘young’ is perhaps a relative description.

  • Scholarships and Bursaries to Meet One Another
    The Air League Newsletter Issue 4: July/August 2015 REMEMBERING THE FEW he summer air show season is with us again and with it comes the annual opportunity for the public at large to see close up the equipment and personnel who continue to provide our air defences. The biggest gathering as usual will be at Tthe Royal International Air Tattoo being held at RAF Fairford from July 17-19 which will see international participants from air forces and army and naval air squadrons from all over the world, and also a nostalgic pageant of vintage and classic warbirds representing a century of military aviation. Other air displays will take place in many locations around Great Britain, from Prestwick to Bournemouth as well as at such well-known airfields as Duxford and Old Warden, where newly restored veteran aircraft demonstrate the ongoing enthusiasm and dedication that keeps alive interest in aviation history for the benefit of future generations. The shrinking size of the UK’s own air power is very noticeable at RIAT, where once dozens of operational units proudly displayed their squadron colours to the public. Although this reflects the reality of lost capabilities and depleted numbers, the ethos and professionalism of today’s Few will still feature strongly, thanks to the appearances of the Red Arrows and the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, and various individual aircraft displays. To commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain a Typhoon of No 29 Squadron has been repainted in the 1940 wartime colour scheme with the identification code of the aircraft flown by Flt Lt James Brindley Nicholson, the only Fighter Command pilot awarded the Victoria Cross during the battle.

Willbanks, Committee Member ____________________________ Dr. Robert F. Baumann, Committee Member ____________________________ Dr. Maria Carlson, Committee Member ____________________________ Dr. Jacob W. Kipp, Committee Member Date approved: April 27, 2009 ii PREFACE Generals have often been reproached with preparing for the last war instead of for the next–an easy gibe when their fellow-countrymen and their political leaders, too frequently, have prepared for no war at all. Preparation for war is an expensive, burdensome business, yet there is one important part of it that costs little–study. However changed and strange the new conditions of war may be, not only generals, but politicians and ordinary citizens, may find there is much to be learned from the past that can be applied to the future and, in their search for it, that some campaigns have more than others foreshadowed the coming pattern of modern war.1 — Field Marshall Viscount William Slim.

  • Urban Air Quality Plans in Europe: a Review on Applied Methodologies
    Air Pollution XXII 315 Urban air quality plans in Europe: a review on applied methodologies A. I. Miranda1, C. Silveira1, J. Ferreira1, A. Monteiro1, D. Lopes1, H. Relvas1, P. Roebeling1, C. Borrego1, E. Turrini2 & M. Volta2 1CESAM and Department of Environment and Planning, University of Aveiro, Portugal 2Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, University of Brescia, Italy Abstract Air pollution is seen as one of the most pressing problems in many urban areas with serious implications on the environment and human health. Focusing on this critical issue, the 2008 European Air Quality Directive (2008/50/EC) requires European Member States to design appropriate Air Quality Plans (AQP) for zones and agglomerations where the air quality does not comply with the limit/target values. A review of assessment capabilities and modelling tools used to evaluate the effects of emission abatement measures on the air quality and health has been performed based on a compilation of regional and local AQP. In general, models are applied to estimate emissions and to assess the current air quality and the impact of emission abatement scenarios. Some studies, however, still consider the monitoring network as spatially representative of the study domain and do not include the use of air quality models (e.g. Lisbon Region, Riga, Malta). At this regional/local scale it is not a common practice to apply a more integrated air quality and health approach based on Integrated Assessment Methodologies (IAM). Notwithstanding, there are some exceptions, such as the AQP of Stockholm, Antwerp, Athens, London and several regions of Italy and Denmark, which integrate the assessment of how reductions in emissions improve air quality, reduce human exposure and protect human health.
