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.

  • Master Narrative Ours Is the Epic Story of the Royal Navy, Its Impact on Britain and the World from Its Origins in 625 A.D
    NMRN Master Narrative Ours is the epic story of the Royal Navy, its impact on Britain and the world from its origins in 625 A.D. to the present day. We will tell this emotionally-coloured and nuanced story, one of triumph and achievement as well as failure and muddle, through four key themes:- People. We tell the story of the Royal Navy’s people. We examine the qualities that distinguish people serving at sea: courage, loyalty and sacrifice but also incidents of ignorance, cruelty and cowardice. We trace the changes from the amateur ‘soldiers at sea’, through the professionalization of officers and then ships’ companies, onto the ‘citizen sailors’ who fought the World Wars and finally to today’s small, elite force of men and women. We highlight the change as people are rewarded in war with personal profit and prize money but then dispensed with in peace, to the different kind of recognition given to salaried public servants. Increasingly the people’s story becomes one of highly trained specialists, often serving in branches with strong corporate identities: the Royal Marines, the Submarine Service and the Fleet Air Arm. We will examine these identities and the Royal Navy’s unique camaraderie, characterised by simultaneous loyalties to ship, trade, branch, service and comrades. Purpose. We tell the story of the Royal Navy’s roles in the past, and explain its purpose today. Using examples of what the service did and continues to do, we show how for centuries it was the pre-eminent agent of first the British Crown and then of state policy throughout the world.

  • FROM CRADLE to GRAVE? the Place of the Aircraft
    FROM CRADLE TO GRAVE? The Place of the Aircraft Carrier in Australia's post-war Defence Force Subthesis submitted for the degree of MASTER OF DEFENCE STUDIES at the University College The University of New South Wales Australian Defence Force Academy 1996 by ALLAN DU TOIT ACADEMY LIBRARy UNSW AT ADFA 437104 HMAS Melbourne, 1973. Trackers are parked to port and Skyhawks to starboard Declaration by Candidate I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, it contains no material previously published or written by another person nor material which to a substantial extent has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma of a university or other institute of higher learning, except where due acknowledgment is made in the text of the thesis. Allan du Toit Canberra, October 1996 Ill Abstract This subthesis sets out to study the place of the aircraft carrier in Australia's post-war defence force. Few changes in naval warfare have been as all embracing as the role played by the aircraft carrier, which is, without doubt, the most impressive, and at the same time the most controversial, manifestation of sea power. From 1948 until 1983 the aircraft carrier formed a significant component of the Australian Defence Force and the place of an aircraft carrier in defence strategy and the force structure seemed relatively secure. Although cost, especially in comparison to, and in competition with, other major defence projects, was probably the major issue in the demise of the aircraft carrier and an organic fixed-wing naval air capability in the Australian Defence Force, cost alone can obscure the ftindamental reordering of Australia's defence posture and strategic thinking, which significantly contributed to the decision not to replace HMAS Melbourne.

    May 2019 Wing lift BNAPS News May 2020 BNAPS News Vol 10 Iss 3 – May 2020 BNAPS Workshop Shutdown and Reflections on Islander G-AVCN in 1967 At present there is no real indication of when we can re-start the work of completing the final assembly of G-AVCN. This period of inactivity is somewhat in contrast to what was happening at Bembridge Airport just over 53 years ago. Islander c/n 3 G-AVCN had made its first flight on 24 April and was soon being prepared to attend the Paris Air Show in June 1967. Parts for the first 30 production Islanders to be built solely by Britten-norman had been ordered. Islander G-AVCN at Le Bourget in June 1967 for the Paris Air Show (Interair Press/Denis Calvert). Such was the sales demand for the Islander that the arrangements for its production had to be completely revised. The new Britten-Norman assembly building was gearing up to a production rate of something like 10 Islanders/month as the wings and fuselages were delivered from the production lines established at the Falcon Works, East Cowes under a major sub-contract with the British Hovercraft Corporation. The “Islander Saga” feature article in this issue of BNAPS News gives an impression of the high level of B-N’s operations and activities at Bembridge and something of the challenges faced in getting the Islander into production and to market in the late 1960s.

Journalists wrote about it at the time, many people who were involved wrote about it in the immediate years that followed, and historians have tried to put it all together. The issues of foreign policy at the strategic level and the military operations that took place in this period have been especially well covered. However, the question of military strategic alternatives in this important era of British foreign policy has been less studied.

  • Dave Gibbings Finale Into History
    Into History It came as a surprise to me that my first dealings with the Lynx were in 1967, 50 years where did it all go? The operation of helicopters from small ships was viewed by the Royal Navy as an important feature, a series of trials were carried out by the Saunders Roe Company using the P531 during which a range of undercarriage configurations and deck securing systems were assessed. And it was a direct result of these trials led to the production of the Wasp The early 1960s were stirring times, the Royal Navy using the Wasp had confirmed that a small ships helicopter was a force multiplier, all three services had identified the need for helicopters on the battlefield, industry responding to the proliferation of project studies identified three categories of aircraft and predicted a need for some 250 helicopters for the UK alone There were at the time four major aircraft companies involved in rotorcraft; namely Bristol Helicopters, Fairey Aviation, Saunders Roe and Westland Aircraft, these were brought together form Westland Helicopters. Some 20 widely different project studies led to the aircraft that was chosen to meet the Royal Navy’s and Army requirement. These were the times of ‘Britenter’ which resulted in the Anglo-French package deal to produce three aircraft thought necessary for the future. Lynx or WG 13 was then known was for a helicopter to operate from small ships and Utility helicopter for the Army. The magic words, ‘Intention to Proceed’ came in 1967 by which time Westland Helicopters were Britain’s sole helicopter company.
