All renewals can be made direct to the MAR address above and we accept cheques payable to “MAP”or payments by Visa/Mastercard Credit and Debit Cards. Alternatively, you can subscribe on line at “www.mar.co.uk” and use the Pay Pal facility which accepts virtually any card you can think of (Please when paying via the Web Site click on to the Pay Pal Payment button - DO NOT USE the credit account facility). When filling in your email address on the renewal form please write it as it appears using capital letters only if capital letters are actually part of the address and clearly showing “.”/”-” and “_” as these are the biggest problem when hand written. As I said last month, the 2013 rates for the MAR PDF version, @MAR and the UK paper MAR are all the same as for 2012, however, we have had to increase the rates for the paper version of MAR to Europe and to Elsewhere in the World due to the big increases made by the Royal Mail in April 2012. I do recommend that you consider going over to the PDF version downloaded from the MAR web site as it is considerably cheaper, you will receive it up to 2 weeks quicker and it contains more photo pages! Finally, an apology for not publishing movements for a number of the US airfields in Europe for the last two months - eg Lajes, Aviano, Spangdahlem, Rota, Moron and Sigonella - we should be catching up with them in the October issue of MAR!

These same qualities that made The Westland Wessex is a British-built turbine-powered the Wessex well-suited to the anti-submarine role also development of the Sikorsky H-34, it was developed lent themselves to the search and rescue (SAR) mission, and produced under license by Westland Aircraft (later which the type would become heavily used for.[1] Westland Helicopters). One of the main changes from Sikorsky’s H-34 was the replacement of the piston-engine powerplant with a turboshaft engine; the Wessex was the first helicopter in the world to be produced in large num- bers that made use of a gas turbine propulsion system.[1] Early models were powered by a single Napier Gazelle engine, later builds used a pair of Rolls-Royce Gnome engines. The Wessex was initially produced for the Royal Navy (RN) and later for the Royal Air Force (RAF); a limited number of civilian aircraft were also produced, as well as some export sales. The Wessex operated as an anti- submarine warfare and utility helicopter; it is perhaps best recognised for its use as a search and rescue (SAR) he- licopter.

  • Aerobatic Teams of the World
    AIRFORCES MONTHLY 16-pAGE SUPPLEMENT JUNE 2013 Military DisplayEdited by Mark Broadbent Teamsof the World 2013 IR FORCES operate display teams Ato showcase the raw skills of airmanship, precision and teamwork that underpin military flying and to promote awareness and recruitment. They also have an ambassadorial role, promoting an air force and country overseas. Many covered in this supplement display overseas each year and, in some cases, frequently undertake international tours. Teams are also used to promote a country’s aerospace industry, playing informal roles in sales campaigns. As financial constraints continue to affect air force budgets globally, it will be interesting to see if aerobatic teams can maintain their military, political and industrial value.

  • The Public Face of the Royal Canadian Air Force: the Importance of Air Shows and Demonstration Teams to the R.C.A.F
    The Public Face of the Royal Canadian Air Force: The Importance of Air Shows and Demonstration Teams to the R.C.A.F. For History 394 A02 Dr. Timothy Balzer An Essay by Luke F. Kowalski V00738361 April 1st, 2013 1 For almost as long as Canada has had an air force, it has had demonstration flyers displaying the skill and daring required to be a pilot. From the first formation flight in 1919 on, demonstration teams have played an important role in keeping the Royal Canadian Air Force engaged and interacting with the Canadian public.1 Examining the history of R.C.A.F. air show participation and demonstration flying reveals that Canadian demonstration teams regularly faced adversity and criticisms, such as being too expensive or having ulterior motives, despite the fact that they have provided many important services and benefits to the R.C.A.F. This paper will argue that R.C.A.F. participation at air shows is not only an important way to demonstrate the skill and professionalism of the force, but also a significant part of public relations and a vital recruiting tool. For these reasons, today’s 431 Squadron Snowbirds are an integral part of the Canadian Forces. Rather than relying on secondary sources, this paper’s argument will primarily be supported by the information drawn from three oral history interviews conducted by the author of this paper. This is because reliable sources on the topic of Canadian air shows and demonstration flying is limited, and, as military historian Edward M. Coffman points out, if you want information “you must seek it among the impressions which can be obtained only from those who have lived a life amid particular surroundings.”2 The three interviewees are Major General Scott Eichel (Ret’d), former base commander and Chief Air Doctrine officer;3 Lieutenant 1 Dan Dempsey, A Tradition of Excellence: Canada's Air Show Team Heritage, (Victoria, B.C.

  • CASM-Canadair-CL-13B-Sabre-F-86
    CANADA AVIATION AND SPACE MUSEUM AIRCRAFT CANADAIR CL-13B / F-86 SABRE MK 6 RCAF GOLDEN HAWKS SERIAL 23651 Introduction In August 1949, Canadair Limited, located at the Cartierville Airport facilities near Montreal, and the Department of National Defence (DND) signed a contract for the manufacture under license of 100 of the most advanced swept-wing day fighter aircraft of the time, the North American Aviation (NAA) F-86 Sabre. Assigned the Canadair model number CL-13, this order led to the largest aircraft production run in Canadair’s history. From 1949 to October 1958, Canadair Limited went on to produce some 1,815 examples of the famed fighter, in models ranging from the Sabre Mark (Mk) 1 up to the ultimate Sabre Mk 6 series, with a few special experimental models emanating from the production batches. The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) was the prime customer for the majority of these aircraft, but the power and reputation of the Canadian-built examples had other nations sit up and take notice, eventually culminating in numerous orders to North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and non-NATO countries. Canadair delivered versions of the CL-13 Sabre to the United States, Britain, Greece, Turkey, Italy, Yugoslavia, Germany, Columbia, and South Africa. RCAF variants served domestically training pilots and crews, and performed an important role in the Canadian commitment to provide a European air contingent for NATO operations. Some of the Canadian-based RCAF units wished to proudly show off their shiny new jet mounts to the general public, seeing as they were paying for them in one way or another, and permission was eventually granted for limited public expositions.

  • A History of the Peterborough Airport
    DOUG ROBERTSON & TIGER MOTHS 55 YEARS APART PETERBOROUGH AIRPORT TODAY 1 2 PETERBOROUGH AVIATION HISTORY 1946 to 1980 3 DOUG ROBERTSON MAY 2008 4 By Doug Robertson After World War II in 1946, ex-RCAF pilots, Harvey Strub, Eldon Purves, Ed Brown, and several other RCAF types moved to Peterborough. They started building an airport called Skyboro and a flying service out of the field on the Chemong highway near the Lindsay turnoff. They operated two fleet Cunucks and a Globe Swift doing sightseeing trips and charter flights. The following year they ran into some bad luck and all work on the airport stopped. Several attempts were made to get it up and running again. The only flying that went on around Peterborough for many years was float equipped Cubs and Aeroncas. The only fuel that was available came by 45 gal. drum from Imperial Oil in Cobourg Ont. We all kept our own supplies. I contacted the Dept. of Transport in 1952 about getting the old Skyboro strip licensed. They visited Peterborough and gave me a list of work that had to be done to get the strip licensed. The east-west runway was only usable during dry weather conditions and several local people and a few tourists used the strip. Because of its poor condition, several aircraft were damaged over the years until the strip was improved. In 1953, along with a friend, Ken Colmer, we bought a DH Tiger Moth for $300. We painted and rejuvenated the Moth and eventually applied for a ferry permit to take it to the old Barker Airport on Dufferin Street in Toronto to Jim Leggett for its Certificate of Airworthiness.
