Not so the airfield of the Swiss capital. Beme's attitude to aviation has always been rather conservative, balanced between foresight and prudence. The first balloon ascents of the brothers Montgolfier caught the imagination of the Swiss, and in 1784, 30 unmanned flights took place in Switzerland. Not all were successful. The first one to rise in Berne was a failure and caused much ridicule. The Berne bur- ghers and councillors immediately decreed hot-air balloons illegal. After the decline of the Old Berne, the cartwright and artillery man Samuel Johann Pauli (1766-1820) started on a project The Key Swiss bank for investment management, current and deposit accounts, currency, travellers cheques and the sale of gold coins. sjlSwiss Bank Corporation Schweizerischer Bankverein iöäwSlSociété de Banque Suisse ^ Società di Banca Svizzera (A company limited by shares, incorporated in Switzerland) City Office West End Branch Representative Office for Scotland 99 GRESHAM STREET, SWISS CENTRE, 66 HANOVER STREET, P.O.

Berne and its Beundenfeld achieved a certain aeronautical importance by the historic alpine, and other, flights by Oscar Bider, and also as the station of the newly formed Swiss Air Force in 1914. Aviation made great strides after the First World War, and by 1925 eight air connections with airports abroad were established. The federal capital, however, had no proper landing ground. A Berne travel office organised flights to Basle in open Caudrons whence - by changing in Paris - a passenger with a small suitcase was able to reach London the same day. A commission in Berne was given leave to study the possibility of an airfield, but years went by before the Belpmoos was ready. 19 Dan-Airs PRO, George Gesman (right), with journalists at Berne Airport be/ore returning to Gatujic/c on the /i'rst commercial jet /light to the Swiss capital From Page 19 combined under British Aero- space, which launched the BAe Gatwick airport.

  • The History of Lasham Airfield
    GLIDING HERITAGE CENTRE A HISTORY OF LASHAM AIRFIELD Author Glyn Bradney Description Lasham airfield in WW2 and how it became a major gliding centre Date 28th April 2015, version 1.) INTRODUCTION The articles I’ve written for the Gliding Heritage Centre website to-date have been intended to fulfil the educational remit that the GHC has through being a registered charity. Given that the GHC is based at Lasham, which is one of the very largest gliding organisations in the world, it seems appropriate that I should write something on the history of Lasham itself. However, I’m not going to go into huge detail in covering every single one of the airfield’s many facets, there are other sources which I will reference should the reader really wish to “dig deep” into its evolution and past in particular areas. ("Lasham Airfield" by fr:Utilisateur:Steff - Personal picture ex Wikipedia, taken during a London Stansted-Dinard flight, May 2006, looking SE. Lasham village is at “3 o’clock”, the ATC maintenance facility at “5 o’clock”.) Lasham airfield, pronounced as “Lash-am” throughout the gliding world, was built by McAlpines in 1941/1942 using Irish labourers and Italian prisoners of war. The usual airfield naming convention was used, namely that of the nearest significant habitation, in this case Lasham village. The history of Lasham village itself goes back a long way. It’s recorded in the Doomsday All rights Reserved | The Gliding Heritage Centre, Lasham Airfield, Alton, Hampshire, GU34 5SS| GLIDING HERITAGE CENTRE book of 1086 as being of “2 ½ hides”, at that time called “”Esseham”.
