  • Sac's Kissing Cousins
    Ground crewmen bring a British RAF Bomber Command Vulcan V-bomber to a high state of readiness. In case of nuclear war bombers of the British V-force would likely spearhead any retaliatory attack. Vuleans, the world's largest delta. wing bombers, carry either conventional or nuclear bombs internally and one Blue Steel standoff weapon externally. Although there are some misgivings about the future, today's British RAF Bomber Command is decidedly a viable force for the 1960s. Here is a report on the powerful capabilities of the United Kingdom's nuclear aerospace force . SAC'S KISSING COUSINS HE officer commanding, seated in the War Room of his operational control center, reached for the T red phone and spoke an order into it which ener- gized his widely dispersed command.

With machine precision, they raced By Richard Clayton Peet through prescribed checkout procedures, preparing their planes for flight. Jet engines began their roar. Seconds later, hundreds of aircraft were on the roll. In less than two minutes, a giant nuclear retaliatory armada was airborne.

  • Master Narrative Ours Is the Epic Story of the Royal Navy, Its Impact on Britain and the World from Its Origins in 625 A.D
    NMRN Master Narrative Ours is the epic story of the Royal Navy, its impact on Britain and the world from its origins in 625 A.D. to the present day. We will tell this emotionally-coloured and nuanced story, one of triumph and achievement as well as failure and muddle, through four key themes:- People. We tell the story of the Royal Navy’s people. We examine the qualities that distinguish people serving at sea: courage, loyalty and sacrifice but also incidents of ignorance, cruelty and cowardice. We trace the changes from the amateur ‘soldiers at sea’, through the professionalization of officers and then ships’ companies, onto the ‘citizen sailors’ who fought the World Wars and finally to today’s small, elite force of men and women. We highlight the change as people are rewarded in war with personal profit and prize money but then dispensed with in peace, to the different kind of recognition given to salaried public servants. Increasingly the people’s story becomes one of highly trained specialists, often serving in branches with strong corporate identities: the Royal Marines, the Submarine Service and the Fleet Air Arm. We will examine these identities and the Royal Navy’s unique camaraderie, characterised by simultaneous loyalties to ship, trade, branch, service and comrades. Purpose. We tell the story of the Royal Navy’s roles in the past, and explain its purpose today. Using examples of what the service did and continues to do, we show how for centuries it was the pre-eminent agent of first the British Crown and then of state policy throughout the world.

  • HANDLEY PAGE HAMPDEN BOMBER X3023 Templewood Is A
    HANDLEY PAGE HAMPDEN BOMBER X3023 Templewood is a grade II listed building located near Northrepps in Norfolk. It was built as a shooting box in 1938/39 for senior conservative politician Sir Samuel Hoare, Lord Templewood, who served in several cabinet posts including that of Secretary of State for Air in the 1920’s. The calm of the countryside was shattered when at 06.20hrs on the 20th November 1940 whilst still dark and in severe weather Hampden Bomber X3023 of No 44 Squadron based at RAF Waddington crashed about 200 yards from Templewood and caught fire. The aircraft was returning from a bombing mission in central Germany. Suffering severe damage and flying on one engine in atrocious weather, the pilot Sergeant Jack Ottaway displayed supreme airmanship in flying the aircraft over the North Sea and reaching the coast. However he finally lost control and crashed in a wooded area and was killed along with the navigator Pilot Officer Archie Kerr and wireless operator/air gunner Sergeant Stanley Elliott. A further air gunner Sergeant Stanley Hird survived the crash and served to the end of the war as a Flying Officer having been awarded the DFC. The Memorial Following a well researched paper on the detail of the crash written by James Mindham a local historian who had discovered the site of the crash and evidence from the aircraft wreckage, the current owner of Templewood, Eddie Anderson a Film Producer, decided to erect on the spot a memorial to X3023 and its crew in the form of a tree stump and commemorative plate.

    Monday 9th March 2015. SQUADRON LEADER CHRIS FORD MBE BECOMES MASTER OF THE HONOURABLE COMPANY OF AIR PILOTS • Former C-130 captain with 18,500 flying hours and 39 years of continuous RAF flying. • 27-year association with C-130 Hercules, principally special forces operations. • “Every pilot, military or civilian, should know that he or she has a place in the Company. The greater our numbers, the greater our ability to influence the direction of all aviation”. Squadron Leader Chris Ford MBE has been invested as Master of the Honourable Company of Air Pilots, one of the world’s longest-established independent pilots’ organisations. A member of the Company since 1979, Chris combines flying experience gained in some of the most demanding conditions around the world with a commitment to continuing the Air Pilots influence within the aviation fraternity, offering independent expert knowledge, experience and opinion, to enhance the skills of all. “The Air Pilots is properly balanced between past and future. Whilst preserving everything good and great about the traditions of a Livery Company in the City of London, our job is to look ahead and try to ensure that we, along with all the regulators and all the bureaucracies, move with the times.” “It is the greatest honour and privilege to be the Master of a City of London Livery Company, but it is not the Master’s Company – the Master is just the figurehead, elected by the members to be the representative and the ambassador in the aviation world for one year. I see the Master’s role as promoting the good name and status of the Company within the aviation industry and the City.
