The Visions Realised 65 Appendix 67 FOREWORD Air Marshal Sir Frederick Sowrey KCB CBE AFC This is a story of determination and endeavour in the face of many difficulties — the site, finance and "the authorities" — which had to be overcome in the significant achievement of the world's first circular airport terminal building . A concept which seems commonplace now was very revolutionary fifty years ago, and it was the foresight of those who achieved so much which springs from the pages of John King's fascinating narrative. Although a building is the central character, the story rightly involves people because it was they who had to agonise over the decisions which were necessary to achieve anything. They had the vision, but they had to convince others : they had to raise the cash, to generate the publicity, to supervise the work — often in the face of opposition to Gatwick as a commercial airfield.

  • Wings Over Nazeing. Chapter 1
    This advert from “Flight” magazine, dated September 9th, 1926, makes the price of an aeroplane appear cheap, but with wages then around £3 per week —if you were lucky ! £795 at that rate represents 265 working weeks. Today even at a modest wage of £260 it would amount to over £66,000. I In the nineteen twenties and thirties, the choice of standard wheels and tyres available to aircraft designers and aircraft owners was wide, as shown this advert in a 1926 “Flight” magazine. II WINGS OVER NAZEING The Author, Broxbourne, September 1950 An Illustrated History and Reminiscences of BROXBOURNE AERODROME and the HERTS AND ESSEX AERO CLUB Broxbourne Aerodrome, Nazeing, Essex from 1929 to end of World War Two in 1945 by Leslie A. Kimm III Foreword Leslie Kimm has produced a wonderfully researched and detailed account of the history and development of the Herts and Essex Aero Club, recounting many of the fascinating and extraordinary experiences of club members and of others connected with Broxbourne Aerodrome. Much of the contents feature my parents, family members and friends, who initiated the idea of a local flying club, and so successfully brought it to fruition. The writings were originally intended to be a personal record of Les’s own experiences with the club, but my mother, Hetty Frogley, on hearing of this, suggested and encouraged him to write down a more detailed history of the club itself. I am sure that she would have been so pleased with what Les has achieved. In many ways the pre-war years were a period of great freedom and adventure, prior to the dark clouds of war gathering.

  • Amy Johnson – Flying from Kingsbury Amy Johnson Was Born in Hull, in East Yorkshire, on 1 July 1903, the Eldest Daughter of a Fish Merchant
    Amy Johnson – Flying from Kingsbury Amy Johnson was born in Hull, in East Yorkshire, on 1 July 1903, the eldest daughter of a fish merchant. Her home town rightly celebrates a young woman who became a famous pilot, but it was the time she spent living and working in what is now the London Borough of Brent which paved the way for her flying career. Recent research has identified the house in Kingsbury where Amy Johnson lived, and this article will give readers a taste of her story, including her local connections. A postcard picture of Amy Johnson in 1930. [Image from the internet] After school in Hull, Amy went to Sheffield University, thinking that she would probably become a teacher. She graduated in 1925, with an ordinary degree in French, Latin and Economics, but then spent the summer at a secretarial college, and took a job as a short-hand typist at a Hull accountancy firm. In early 1927, she moved to London, first working in a shop for a couple of weeks, before getting a position in April as a secretary in a City law firm. A year later, a bus ride to explore the surrounding countryside brought her to Stag Lane Aerodrome, on the border between Kingsbury and Edgware. She sat down and watched the planes for several hours, and went back to her rented room knowing that she wanted to fly. An aerial view of Stag Lane Aerodrome in 1926. [Source: Brent Archives - online image 582] Amy found out that the De Havilland School of Flying charged £5 for a one hour flying lesson (more than her weekly wages!), but that if she joined the London Aeroplane Club, also based at Stag Lane, for three guineas, lessons cost “only” thirty shillings.

  • Percival D-2 Gull
    Le Percival D.2 Gull Par Jean-Louis BLENEAU Le Percival Gull fut construit avant tout pour participer à la King’s Cup, célèbre course de vitesse à handicap organisé en Grande-Bretagne. Le prototype G-ABUR y participa à deux reprises, en 1933 et 1934. Pour cette seconde participation, arborant le numéro de course ‘40’, il avait reçu un nouveau moteur et la verrière du cockpit avait été redessinée (Photo Hunting Percival) Tout passager aérien passant par l’aéroport international d’Auckland ne peut manquer de remarquer, accroché au plafond de la galerie commerciale, le petit monomoteur avec lequel l’aviatrice Néo- Zélandaise Jean Batten réalisa la première liaison aérienne en solitaire entre la Grande-Bretagne et la Nouvelle Zélande. Plus proche de nous, dans le Parc du Cinquantenaire, le Musée de l’Air et de l’Espace de Bruxelles nous propose un appareil du même type remarquablement restauré. Ces deux avions sont des Percival Gull. Leur nom est associé à quelques exploits sportifs remarquables marqués, durant les années 1930, par la rivalité entre deux constructeurs britanniques, Percival Aircraft Company et Miles Aircraft Limited. Du pilote militaire au pilote d’essais : Comme souvent durant la première moitié du XXe Siècle, l’histoire de la firme Percival fut d’abord celle d’un homme, et en particulier d’un pilote de talent. Edgar Wikner Percival naquit le 23 février 1898 à Albury, en Nouvelles Galles du Sud, à la limite de l’état de Victoria. Australien de naissance, il avait des origines suédoises : Son grand-père maternel, Edgar Magnus Wikner, était le frère du philosophe suédois Pontus Wikner.

  • Amy Johnson – from Kingsbury to Australia
    AMY JOHNSON - From Kingsbury to Australia An illustrated talk by Philip Grant of Wembley History Society Amy Johnson was born in Hull, on 1 July 1903. Her father ran a fish merchants business, and she had a comfortable, middle-class upbringing and a good education. Unlike many girls at that time, Amy went to university. She studied Economics, French and Latin, gaining a degree at Sheffield University in 1925. She was meant to go on to be a teacher. Instead, she trained to be a secretary, working first in Hull, then moving to London in 1927. While exploring the London area in the Spring of 1928, a bus ride brought her to Stag Lane Aerodrome. She sat down to watch the planes, and went home knowing that she wanted to fly! Amy started flying lessons at Stag Lane in September 1928, made her first solo flight in June 1929, and passed the test to get her private pilot’s licence the following month. By September 1929 she had given up her secretarial job in the City, and moved to Roe Green, where she rented a room in the Evans family’s home. “Oldways”, at 10 Elmwood Crescent, was similar to this house (No. 12, photographed in 1964). “Johnnie” worked unpaid at Stag Lane, so she could learn about aeroplanes and get her Ground Engineer’s Licence. It was cold, hard work in the maintenance hangars, and Amy was grateful for comforts sent from Hull by her mother. In the same letter, Amy tries to reassure her mother, who has a very nervous disposition, that she will always be careful when flying:- ‘… you may be sure I shall not take any unnecessary risks.’ Amy wanted flying to be her career.

Brushless motors rely on the feedback of the individual motor to know when to commutate the windings, thus the independence. Construction This is not a simple project, but the construction techniques individually are simple. The fuselage is built very light but strong, somewhat like a large stick&tissue model, but with 1/64 ply instead of tissue paper. Balsawood, basswood, 1/64 3-lam plywood, 1/8” liteply, and aluminum are the basic materials. Flying surfaces are covered in Sig Koverall Dacron fabric attached with butyrate dope. Struts are K&S streamlined aluminum 0.5” tubing with hardwood end plugs. Finishing was accomplished with Lusterkote butyrate spray, first several coats of white primer, then dark red for the fuselage and aluminum for the flying surfaces. A clear lacquer sealer was used over all after the decals were attached.

Sharf Collection Friends of Dana-Farber Art Program Fred Sharf (1934-2017), businessman, philanthropist, scholar and collector of forgotten treasures, channeled his love of history into collecting. Intellectually curious, he pursued his interests with enthusiasm and vigor. His collections included Spanish-American War illustrations, architectural drawings, automotive design drawings, Japanese Meiji period woodblock prints, fashion illustrations, transportation models, and more. Through his scholarship and initiative, he elevated collectibles into museum-worthy objects. He researched and organized exhibitions from his collections, wrote or edited more than 40 books and donated collections to museums, most notably the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. On view at Dana-Farber Chestnut Hill are models and works on paper from the Jean S. and Frederic A. Sharf Aerospace Collection.
