  • The Royal Aeronautical Society the Southampton Branch – a Brief History the 60Th Anniversary of the Southampton Branch Foreword
    The Royal Aeronautical Society The Southampton Branch – A Brief History The 60th Anniversary of the Southampton Branch Foreword The Southampton Branch of the Royal Aeronautical Society has a distinguished history covering 60 years of aviatio n in this region of Hampshire that has seen so much of the changing fortunes of aeronautical development and manufacture in this country. This book, prepared by David Baxter and myself, pays tribute to the many members of this branch of our Society, who fr om its earliest of days, freely gave of their time and expertise to ensure that the knowledge, skills and advances in aviation and more recently in the field of aerospace, could be communicated to as wide a public audience as possible. We also remember tho se stalwarts of the aviation world whose careers and companies were centred here in Southampton and whose support made an important contribution to our ability to organise lectures, conferences and symposia on the major issues in aviation of the day. We d edicate this book to R J Mitchell, FRAeS, the designer of many aircraft including the world famous Supermarine S6B and the Spitfire, whose lifetime commitment to aviation development in this country and the world was spent here in Southampton . Geoffrey Lilley President of the Southampton Branch of the Royal Aeronautical Society. Beginnings The Royal Aeronautical Society was founded in 1866, the first ae ronautical body in the world, 47 years before the Wright Brothers first flight. Following the success of the Wright Brothers, interest in aviation grew rapidly, and one centre of aviation was in the Southampton area.
