  • Finding XH 903 – 33 Squadron's Gloster Javelin at the Jet Age Museum
    Finding XH 903 – 33 Squadron’s Gloster Javelin at the Jet Age Museum Gloucestershire Airport, Saturday 4 August 2018 On a very hot Saturday afternoon last weekend, thus the relaxed but appropriate ‘Hart’s Head’ attire worn in some of the following photographs, I paid a visit to the excellent and informative Jet Age Museum at Gloucestershire Airport to investigate the story of the Gloster Javelin bearing 33 Squadron colours that appeared in the recent ‘Loyalty’ newsletter. Accompanied by close friend George Philp, a retired Squadron Leader, my Crewman Leader in Germany while I was on the other squadron, keen aviation buff and a member of the Jet Age Museum, we received a very friendly welcome from the staff at the front desk and all of the guides in the Display Hall, especially as the reason for the visit became apparent. 33 Squadron flew the two seat Javelin, Britain’s first delta wing all-weather fighter, in the Cold War-era between July 1958 and November 1962. The Javelin was equipped with interception radar, had an operational ceiling of 52 000 feet (almost 16 000 metres) and a speed of more than 700 mph (1 130 km/h). Armed with four 30mm cannons and, later, four Firestreak missiles it was built to intercept Russian bombers. Javelin first flew on 26 November 1951 and Gloster and its sister company, Armstrong Whitworth, would go on to build 435 aircraft for the RAF. Unfortunately, the Javelin was the last aircraft type that Gloster would produce and in 1963 the Gloster name disappeared completely from the list of British aircraft manufacturers as a result of the 1957 White Paper on Defence produced by Minister of Defence Duncan Sandys, in which, to counter the growing Soviet ballistic missile threat, he proposed a radical shift away from manned fighter aircraft in favour of missile technology, along with a rationalisation of the British military aircraft and engine industry.

  • Vulcans for WIAS
    VULCANS AT BITTESWELL This paper briefly explores the design and development of the Avro Vulcan Bomber aircraft and their subsequent servicing maintenance and repair in the 1960s -1980s at Hawker Siddeley Aviation Limited (HSA), situated at Bitteswell Airfield, in Leicestershire. Part of the paper will be based on the author’s recollections of Bitteswell during that period. The Avro Vulcan aeroplane has in recent years gained a reputation with the general public bordering on iconic status, probably due in no small part to its total disappearance from the skies; the last flight of the remaining airworthy example XH 558 being made in October 2015. Designed to be an integral part of the V - Bomber Force comprising the Valiant, Vulcan and Victor, the triumvirate forming Britain’s Nuclear Deterrent, the Vulcan was a large and impressive delta-winged aeroplane with an outstanding performance. Unfortunately, the Vulcan’s two stablemates both had shortcomings and the Valiant and Victor were somewhat prematurely removed from the nuclear deterrent role, leaving the Vulcan to shoulder that operational burden alone. Project design work on the Avro 698 aircraft began at Chadderton, Manchester, in January 1947 under the control of Chief Designer Stuart Davies and Technical Director Roy Chadwick. The small design team worked on schemes based on earlier German research into tailless aircraft designs promulgated notably by Walter and Reimar Horten and Dr Alexander Lippisch. Towards the end of the Second World War the Horten brothers produced the experimental Ho. IX turbojet powered all wing fighter- bomber and Lippisch the phenomenal rocket propelled Me.163 interceptor fighter, the latter aircraft seeing limited operational service at the end of that conflict.
