The Council has adapted surprisingly well and this has given us the ability to keep the Club working despite the restrictions we are all now accepting as part of everyday life. I'm pleased to say many of the RAeC member associations are working on Zoom so it’s very much business as usual through all of our membership. You may not be aware but this is an election year for FAI and elections due next month at the planned electronic General Conference (GC) over Zoom (should be interesting for the 100 plus attendees on the same screen).

    BNAPS News May 2019 BNAPS News Vol 9 Iss 3 – May 2019 Wing Lift on 23 May 2019 Marks a Major Milestone for the Restoration of Islander G-AVCN Thanks to a great team effort and support from our workshop neighbour, Ian Hallett, together with the loan of adjustable wing trestles by B-N, arranged by B-N workshop manager Pete Dowers, on 23 May, 2019, the wing of Islander G-AVCN was successfully lifted from the vertical stands and positioned on the horizontal wing trestles. Work will now get under way to move the fuselage to enable the wing and fuselage to be joined. Left: First the fork lift had to be driven into the workshop and positioned for the lift. Right: Lift is complete with the wing supported on the adjustable wing trestles, now mounted on wheeled bases. Left: Group photo of the BNAPS Team members involved in the lift with Ian Hallett, who kindly provided and operated the fork lift that made the whole wing lift possible. Thanks go to all who contributed to making the wing lift a great success. For more about the wing lift see the March 2019 – May 2019 VCN Progress Report on Pages 4 -12.

  • BNAPS News July 2020 BNAPS News Vol 10 Iss 4 – July 2020
    May 2019 Wing lift BNAPS News July 2020 BNAPS News Vol 10 Iss 4 – July 2020 BNAPS Restoration Workshop is Re-opened - Plan for the Future of Islander G-AVCN in 2021 BNAPS Trustees have devised a working regime, in consultation with the restoration team, and taking account of the emergency restrictions in place at the time, that allowed restoration work to be resumed from 16 July 2020. BNAPS Restoration Team meeting at the restoration workshop, 9 July 2020 The aim is to complete all essential restoration work items by the end of September 2020 and then to dismantle the aircraft and prepare it for transport to temporary storage. The main work items include completion of fuselage lining and detail decals, fabrication and installation of internal fuselage and door trim panels, installation of the propellers and spinners, installation of an alternator for the starboard engine and painting the engine cowlings. This work will be progressed during the coming months, although installation of the propellers and spinners and the alternator require sourcing of essential missing parts. However, where work is not completed by the end of September it is feasible to delay some of the work and finish it off when the aircraft is in storage or include it as part of the process of preparation for re-assembly of the aircraft when suitable display space is accessible. At this stage BNAPS Trustees are in discussion with an established museum located on the Isle of Wight and full details will be revealed in due course when agreements are in place. During the past few months it has become apparent that a move into storage was best undertaken sooner rather than later, partly because of the financial burden if the occupation of the Brickfields workshop was extended into 2021 and the fact that, if necessary, any remaining work items can be undertaken with the fuselage and wing as separate parts at a later stage and in another location.

  • Westland and the Attack Helicopter – from Lynx to Apache
    Journal of Aeronautical History Paper 2020/05 Westland and the Attack Helicopter – from Lynx to Apache Dr R V Smith, FRAeS; J P Graham, FRAeS ABSTRACT In July 1995, Britain selected the AH-64D Apache as the Attack Helicopter for the Army Air Corps. Prior to this, there had been sustained activity, involving Westland Helicopters Ltd (WHL), the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE)/Defence Experimental & Research Agency (DERA), Defence Science & Technology Laboratory (DSTL), Future Systems (Rotary Wing) (FS(RW)) and MoD Operational Requirements (OR) staff, to examine UK options for the provision of national and international collaborative attack helicopter solutions. Much of that work has never been reviewed publicly and, despite not resulting in a successful product, the solutions examined contained innovative technologies and design approaches. Some of these features are only now emerging in programmes elsewhere, such as the American Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA) programme. This paper examines these projects, from Armed Escort Lynx and P277 through to Westland WG.47, summarising their origins, requirements and underlying technologies, to record the efforts, mainly conducted by the Future Projects and Advanced Technology Departments within Westland Helicopters Ltd.
