We could show you the latest developments in casting tech- nique—the amazing complexity of the designs now in production—the ever-closer dimensional accuracy of our “ near-finished” components. We could also tell you about the wide range of alloys available—the freedom from porosity and the searching tests and high standards demanded by war service conditions. The advance in technique now being achieved will eventually become available for post-war production. In this way castings of greater accu­ racy, high strength properties and minimum machining requirements will be offered to all industries as an economic possibility. oAs g o o d as g o o d s o u n d c a s t i n g s c a n p o ssib ly be THE BIRMINGHAM ALUMINIUM CASTING (1903) CO.

  • 85-AF-68 Kawasaki Ki-100
    A/C SERIAL NO.BAPC.83 SECTION 2B INDIVIDUAL HISTORY KAWASAKI Ki-100-1b BAPC.83/8476M MUSEUM ACCESSION NUMBER 85/AF/68 1945 Assembled at Kawasaki’s’ Kagamigahara factory in the last week of June 1945 as a KI-100 Otsu; production for the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force ceased in August 1945, totalling some 390 aircraft. Constructors’ number 16336. Other than having an all-round vision canopy, the -1b airframe was identical to the Kawasaki Ki-61-11 Hien (Tony) with a Mitsubishi 1,500 h.p.14 cylinder radial engine replacing the Kawasaki liquid cooled in-line engine, of which there was a shortage. Most of the 118 Ki100-1b aircraft completed were assigned to the defence of the Japanese home islands. Giuseppe Picarella’s research suggests the aircraft when new was initially sent to the Kagamigahara Army Depot and accepted into the IJAAF during the first two weeks of July 1945. Aug 45 Originally thought to have been captured by American forces occupying Japan from 28th August - the origin and early history of the Museum’s aircraft was unclear for many years, although the US military authorities did allocate a number of aircraft surrendered in Japan for RAF use in Oct/Nov 45. However, research by Giuseppe Picarella (Aeroplane February 2006 pp.70 – 75) seems to have confirmed this airframe’s origins. It appears to have been one of the 24 aircraft found at Tan Son Nhut (Saigon) airfield in what was then French Indo-China, and was in serviceable condition. Japanese ferry pilot Sergeant Y.

  • IAF Equipment and Force Structure Requirements to Meet External Threats, 2032
    IAF Equipment and Force Structure Requirements to Meet External Threats, 2032 Vivek Kapur* In keeping with the theme ‘IAF Deep Multidimensional Change 2032: Imperatives and a Roadmap’, this article focuses on the responses to the external threat challenges that are likely to be face by IAF in 2032. These external challenges have been identified to be the individual Chinese and Pakistani threats as well as a combined Sino-Pak threat. The article confines itself to developing a possible force structure only in terms of numbers of combat and support aircraft of various types for 2032. It contains an examination of the currently planned IAF structure for the year 2022 and beyond, against the war-gamed force requirement for winning wars along our borders while retaining capability to project force in areas of national interest beyond our borders. The article underscores the fact that the current plan for the force structure requires to be enhanced to meet the challenges successfully. INTRODUCTION This article follows ‘Challenges for the Indian Air Force: 2032’ (Vol. 7, No. 1, January-March 2013), dealing with the main challenges Indian Air Force (IAF) is likely to face in 2032, when it completes a century. Here, I assess possible responses to the external challenges posed by the Peoples Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) and Pakistan Air Force (PAF). I do so separately in a single-front war scenario against either one and follow it up with a worst case scenario of a simultaneous war against both. I begin * The author was a Research Fellow with the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, New Delhi.

  • A Re-Write of the World War Two Roll of Honour I Spent Much of the Lockdown Last Year Researching and Re-Writing the World War Two Roll of Honour
    A Re-write of the World War Two Roll of Honour I spent much of the lockdown last year researching and re-writing the World War Two Roll of Honour. The reason for a revision 55 years after the original publication is that the Roll of Honour published in 1965, although a wonderful document which paints an affectionate picture of those 161 boys who gave their lived in the Second World War, is sadly short of specific detail of where they served and how they came to lose their lives, although this is not surprising given the shortage of such information at that time. I have updated and extended this moving record, using the extensive information now available on the internet, but also with the assistance of several distinguished and able helpers. The task is complete and the results will, I hope, be available for publication in 2021. There are now 163 names as I have discovered the deaths of Edward Crosse and Cecil Thomas and added their names to the Roll of Honour. All former day boys who joined before 1936 are described as Home Boarders because that name was used until Stanley Powell’s gift of his house to the College. Finally, the fact that the number of names on the Roll of Honour is less than in the First World War cannot pass unnoticed. Perhaps there is significance in the fact that, of all OEs killed in the 1939-45 war, nearly forty per cent were aircrew. Certain it is that our record in the air, for all its grievous cost, gives much cause for pride in the eminence attained and the awards gained by Old Eastbournians.
