  • Government and British Civil Aerospace 1945-64.Pdf
    Journal of Aeronautical History Paper No. 2018/04 Government and British Civil Aerospace 1945-64 Professor Keith Hayward Preface This paper is something of a trip down an academic memory lane. My first book, published in the early 1980s, carried a similar title, albeit with a longer time span. While it had the irreplaceable benefit of some first hand memories of the period, the official record was closed. A later history of the UK aircraft industry did refer in part to such material dating from the 1940s, but access to the ‘secret’ historical material of the 1950s and beyond was still blocked by the then “Thirty Year” rule. By the time the restrictions were relaxed to a “Twenty Year” rule or even more by the liberality offered by “Freedom of Information” legislation, I had moved on to the more pressing demands of analysing the world aerospace industry for the SBAC. 1 My years at the Royal Aeronautical Society afforded a bit more scope. Discovery of an archive on the formation of the British Aircraft Corporation, and published by the Royal Aeronautical Society’s Journal of Aeronautical History 2, stimulated a hankering to open more musty files on the 1950s. This led to a series of articles published in the Aviation Historian. However much this satisfied an initial hankering to look back to a critical period in UK aerospace, there were gaps to be filled in the narrative and the analysis. With the encouragement of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Aeronautical History, I have endeavoured to provide a more coherent overview of government policy towards the civil sector.

  • =British Airways Plc (BA) Is the Flag Carrier Airline of the United
    =British Airways plc (BA) is the flag carrier airline of the United Kingdom which is based and headquartered in Waterside, near its main hub at London Heathrow Airport. British Airways operates a second hub at Gatwick Airport and a third hub, served through its fully owned subsidiary, BA CityFlyer, at London City Airport. British Airways is the largest airline in the UK based on fleet size, international flights and international destinations. BA's UK passengers originating at non-London airports must connect via London after British Airways discontinued all direct overseas flights from UK airports outside London following the sale of BA Connect to British regional carrier Flybe in 2007. The British Airways Board was established in 1971 to control the two nationalised airline corporations, BOAC and BEA, and two much smaller regional airlines, Cambrian Airways from Cardiff and Northeast Airlines from Newcastle upon Tyne. On 31 March 1974 all four companies were dissolved to form British Airways (BA). After almost 13 years as a nationalised company, British Airways was privatised in February 1987 as part of the privatisation plan by the Conservative Government of the time. The carrier soon expanded with the acquisition of British Caledonian (BCAL) in 1987 and Gatwick-based carrier Dan-Air in 1992. Despite being a longtime Boeing customer, British Airways placed a major order for Airbus aircraft in August 1998 with the purchase of 59 Airbus A320 family aircraft. In 2007, the carrier placed its next major order, marking the start of its long-haul fleet replacement, ordering 12 Airbus A380s and 24 Boeing 787s.

The question of how to meet our military obligations at home and abroad is necessarily answered from many viewpoints: tactical, technical, and financial. As the Navy faces serious cutbacks in its budget, the financial aspect increases in importance disproportionately over the other factors. Nevertheless, in an attempt to maximize the dollar without sacrificing efficiency, a review of alternative systems is now needed.

  • New Revelations, Achievement and Innovations
    NEW REVELATIONS, ACHIEVEMENT AND INNOVATIONS SUMMARY The first 50 years of the Bristol Aeroplane Company have been well recorded by John Burleigh. Here some comparable history of the second fifty years of design and manufacture is recorded, based on my Australian lecture given to celebrate BAC100. It reveals many things not generally known: in particular how the Aircraft Company was saved from bankruptcy in the 1960s, the origin of a World Changing technology at Bristol, and measures to free British manufacturing industry from Third World price competition. The exhibitions at the new Bristol Aerospace Centre must adequately reflect these innovations and their legacy. David Farrar June 2015 THE SECOND FIFTY YEARS OF DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE AT BRISTOL AIRCRAFT THE 1950 SITUATION The Bristol Aircraft company was engaged on the Bristol Freighter design and manufacture, which would keep the company solvent for years ahead, and the Brabazon non stop transatlantic civil aircraft. Transatlantic range was achieved by two innovations: 1. Advanced structural design methods which I devised in collaboration with the Royal Aeronautical Society staff. Considerable weight saving was based on simultaneous structural failure under load in all possible modes. 2. Active gust relief by power controlled aileron movement, as used today on one airliner. At the time it was opposed by R.A.E. Farnborough. The aircraft company had also commenced a guided weapons project, in collaboration with Ferranti Ltd., to defend the British nuclear deterrent. It was top Priority nationally. Helicopters, Bristol Cars and plastics fabrication were also under development, making Bristol the largest aircraft site in the U.K.
