    The Eastern Mediterranean and the Projection of Air Power

Box 40758, 6307 Larnaca, Cyprus Tel.: + 357 24 658380, Fax: +357-24-654 972 E-mail: [email protected] www.erpic.org REPORT Andrew Lambert 2009-07-24 Air Commodore, Royal Air Force (Retired) THE EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN AND THE PROJECTION OF AIR POWER INTRODUCTION 1. Though now much forgotten, the Mediterranean has been a cauldron of Air Power experimentation, notching up a number of “firsts” in air warfare. It was the location for the first Strategic Bombing campaign (Capronis in 1915 v Austria). It provided the site where Air Power’s domination of ground forces was demonstrated for the first time (Wadi el Fara). It was the place where, again for the first time, and under wartime conditions, a battle fleet was destroyed from the air (Taranto). And it was the place where an entire country was saved from almost certain destruction, by the rapid resupply of war materiel by air (Yom Kippur) 1. 2. The good weather in the region has been an important factor in Air Power’s successes, helping Air Power to demonstrate its ability to yield both tactical and strategic results. Not only at Wadi el Fara, but during the North African Campaign in 1942/3, and at the Mitla Pass (1967), Air Power achieved psychological and physical effects that were truly decisive. 3. This paper, considering the history and importance of Air Power in the Eastern Mediterranean, will concentrate largely on Britain and the RAF’s operations in the region. This is not to minimise such events as the ’67 Arab Israeli War where Air Power destroyed the Egyptian Air Force on the first day, the Yom Kippur War mentioned above, or even the effectiveness of Operations PROVIDE COMFORT and NORTHERN WATCH, both mounted from Turkey, but simply to focus attention on Cyprus and its role in the Eastern Mediterranean.

  • Flying Officer David Elwyn Walters Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve

    Flying Officer David Elwyn Walters Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve

    Flying Officer David Elwyn Walters Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve 1940-46 Preface This is an attempt to tell as much as possible of the story of my father’s service in the Royal Air Force between 1940 when he enlisted and the date of his discharge after the Second World War in 1946; his journey through the ranks from enlisted man to commissioned officer and from “Blighty” to Africa, the Middle and Far East and back again. While it tries to tell of a more memorable time in his life, rather than the story of his whole life, it’s fair to say that the period of his service during the war and after was probably the most important part. Many of the details of everyday life are now forgotten, gone to the grave with those who lived through those momentous events but some of the tales are retold here, albeit with some minor unintentional changes, omissions or even additions; that all depends upon my own memory and how much of the stories my father chose to remember and some of the letters that were somehow saved. He was just an ordinary bloke from an ordinary background who found himself taking part in some of the most extraordinary times in history. He didn’t do anything to mark him out from the rest, just an ordinary bloke doing what had to be done as his part to end the madness of war and he survived. If I have to dedicate this small work to anyone then obviously it has to be first to my father and mother and then to the 125,000 other ordinary blokes, brave men every last one who answered the call and nightly flew against the Nazi evil as “The Bomber Boys”; the men of RAF Bomber Command and the 55,573 who failed to return.

    African Butterfly News (2019-5) Includes a Brief Report of an Aberrant Lepidochrysops Plebeia That Was Found in That Period—A Singular Christmas Gift

    NOVEMBER 2019 EDITION: AFRICAN ABN 2019 - 6 (SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER 2019) BUTTERFLY THE LEPIDOPTERISTS’ SOCIETY OF AFRICA NEWS LATEST NEWS Welcome to November’s newsletter! Spring has been and gone and, on the Highveld at least, we’ve had a better season than we’ve had for several years. There haven’t been any remarkable records, but off hand, I can’t think of any “missing” spring butterflies. Unfortunately, with persistently hot, dry weather, things are tailing off a bit now. A final reminder that our annual Conference starts on Saturday 16 Oct; the venue is the Knysna Hollow Conference Centre, Webedacht Road, Knysna. Registration starts at 7h30. I’ve attached a link to the conference program below: 2019 LepSoc Africa Annual Conference Further phosphor frolics (Mark Liptrot) Mark Liptrot recently found the Southern Forest Opal (Chrysoritis phosphor phosphor) at Hogsback. As far as I’m aware, these are the first photographs ever taken of this taxon in the wild It was a sheer fluke that I was in the right place at the right time to see this one. We’d just arrived in Hogsback at the Air B&B Bramber Cottage at mid-afternoon on 4th October, and settled down to have coffee at the outside table. I noticed a lot of insect activity on the adjacent Mexican Orange (Choisya ternata), an exotic aromatic shrub. This attracted plenty of honey bees and a Bradypodion ventrale, the eastern Cape dwarf chameleon (see photo). My wife Cecily and I were lamenting the fact that the Hogsback gardens were full of exotics (Azaleas in particular), and that the Chrysoritis phosphor phosphor (Mark Liptrot) surrounding plantations (mainly pine and wattle) were infesting the gardens and the Afromontane forests.

    JULY 2019 EDITION: ABN 2019 - 4 AFRICAN (MAY AND JUNE 2019) THE LEPIDOPTERISTS’ BUTTERFLY SOCIETY OF AFRICA NEWS LATEST NEWS Welcome to July’s newsletter! Winter has arrived on the Highveld and not much is flying at the moment. This may be a positive development, as last season there appeared to be little variation in butterfly numbers between the winter and summer months. KwaZulu-Natal was good in May, but numbers seem to be tailing off now. A reminder that this year’s LepSoc Africa Conference will be held in Knysna on Sat 16 and Sun 17 November. Please contact Dave Edge ([email protected]) to confirm your attendance. In addition to the Conference, Mon 18 Nov has been set aside as a public day, where we intend to search for the Brenton Blue (Orachrysops niobe); the Brenton Blue Trust have put up a R20 000 reward, payable to the first person who rediscovers this critically endangered butterfly. Orachrysops niobe Subject to demand, LSA intend to host a two-day field trip to the Steve Woodhall Kammannassie, camping at Mannetjiesberg on the night of Fri 15 November.
