Our friendly LAW team of experts randomly chose to answer the following: My husband and I are both in our 80s and are worried we might start to struggle when it comes to making decisions in a few years. We have three LET US children and would like them to be able to help us make decisions. I’ve SOLVE read about Powers of Attorney but am not really sure what these are or the YOUR different types, can you help? We would certainly recommend that you consider creating a Lasting Power of LEGAL Attorney (“LPA”) which is a legal document that lets you appoint one or more PROBLEMS people (known as ‘attorneys’) to help you make decisions, or make decisions on your behalf. You and your husband will each need to create your own LPA but can both appoint your children if you trust them and believe that they have the appropriate skills to make the proposed decisions on your behalf. You can choose to appoint them on a joint or joint and several basis and can also include certain restrictions or guidance within your LPA if you so wish. There are two types of power and you can opt to make either, or both, of them: The Property and Financial Affairs LPA gives your attorney(s) authority to deal with your property and finances, for example managing bank accounts, dealing with utility providers, paying bills, or dealing with your property. The power can be used or restricted as you specify. A Health and Welfare LPA gives your attorney(s) power to make decisions about things like your daily routine (eg washing, dressing, eating), medical care, or moving into a care home. This authority can be extended, if you so choose, so that your attorney(s) have power to give or refuse consent to the continuation of life-sustaining treatment. The LPA must be signed by you and your chosen attorney(s), and certified by an independent person confirming that you understand the nature and scope of the LPA and have not been unduly pressured into making the power. The power must also be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) before it can be used.

  • Andover Business Park - Public Art Commission Call for Expressions of Interest
    Project Brief: TVPA001 ANDOVER BUSINESS PARK - PUBLIC ART COMMISSION CALL FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST ‘FLIGHT AND NAVIGATION’ ARTIST BRIEF VISION TVBC in partnership with Goodman wish to commission a work of public art for the new Andover Business Park. It is envisaged that this piece will provide a landmark for the site, marking the entrance to Andover, and will make reference to the history of the site as Andover Airfield. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To commission a work of art that will celebrate the regeneration of Andover Business Park whilst encapsulating the history of the site as RAF Andover. To produce an artwork of sufficient scale and impact to create a landmark that appeals to a broad audience and inspires comment beyond its immediate locality. to engage with users of the site and other communities living close to the site BACKGROUND Andover Business Park has a rich history as RAF Andover. In the early twentieth century it was known as ‘No. 2 School of Navigation and Bomb Dropping’. Several experimental military aircraft made their first flights from the airfield. Amongst them were: the Westland Yeovil; the Westland Witch; the Westland F.7/30; and all of the Westland-Hill Pterodactyl series of experimental flying wing aircraft. RAF Andover has a unique place in British history, as the first British military unit to be equipped with helicopters. The Helicopter Training School, was formed in January 1945 at RAF Andover. Post-war, RAF Andover continued to be used for helicopter flying training and operational research. The station's association with aviation research continued, and some of the trials of experimental vertical take-off aircraft took place on the station, including some of the trials for the Hawker Siddeley Andover which was named after the station.

  • Police Aviation News
    Police Aviation—History INTRODUCTION As far as I am aware, this history of the varied methods by which the law enforcement forces of the world arrived in a position whereby, by the late 1990s, most of them have been able to under- take air patrols is the first attempted. The content is exhaustive as possible in the face of a de- gree of secrecy and a certain lack of inertia. The meaning of the word “police” is, I recall from my training days over thirty years ago, the means by which governments endeavor to keep the peace. Although still valid in many parts of the world, this statement to fledgling British police was probably never intended to encompass the sheer diversity of modern law enforcement. Written in the days of Victoria, it was inward look- ing and took no account of the extensive para-military activity that now typifies policing across the world. For this reason the researching and compilation of this book has been complicated by the requirement to make arbitrary decisions about just which law enforcement bodies to include in the survey. Instances of this can be clearly seen from the coverage of the United States of America [USA], the country where the ground swell of law enforcement aviation was, and is, most clearly to be seen. In the USA there are thousands of law enforcement units across the length and breadth of this massive country, some use aircraft. In addition to the hundreds of police, marshall and sheriff units, each thrusting forward, individually and mutually, in the battle against law breakers, there are the large Federal organizations, most of which give the impression of having other, more pressing, duties to perform than law enforcement.

  • List of Royal Canadian Air Force Stations - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Page 1 of 16
    List of Royal Canadian Air Force stations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 16 List of Royal Canadian Air Force stations From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This is a list of stations operated by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), or stations where RCAF units existed, from 1924 until unification into the Canadian Forces on February 1, 1968. Some of the RCAF stations listed in this article link to facility descriptions containing the prefix "CFB" (Canadian Forces Base) or "CFS" (Canadian Forces Station). These facilities were at one time RCAF stations, but changed to CFBs or CFSs following unification of the Canadian Armed Forces in 1968. Most former RCAF stations still in use by the Canadian Forces are now operated by Air Command (AIRCOM). During the 1990s, most AIRCOM squadrons on Canadian Forces Bases were reorganized into "wings" as the primary lodger unit. Consequently, many Canadian Forces Bases used as air force bases are frequently referred to without the prefix CFB, e.g., "CFB Shearwater" is also referred to as "12 Wing Shearwater", with 12 Wing being the primary lodger unit at CFB Shearwater. All RCAF facilities followed the naming tradition of the Royal Air Force, whereby the prefix RCAF (vs. RAF) was affixed.

  • Two Hampshire Airfields, Worthy Down and Chilbolton
    15 College Mill, Winchester Martin Gregory The path of the river Itchen through Winchester was reorganised by the Romans to provide sites for grist mills. Thus mediaeval Winchester had many small mills using the river Itchen as their power supply. They were grouped on several branches of the river, one of which served Abbey Mill and then Floodstock Mill which was on College Street. Floodstock Mill is described as ‘entirely ruinous’ in 1419 and never again produces any revenue 1. However, its tailrace ran through the Warden’s garden in Winchester College. Embanking this tailrace created a fall further down the river, which was used to drive College Mill a century later. Winchester College was founded by William of Wykeham, then Bishop of Winchester, in 1382 to educate 70 scholars. He endowed it with various lands and property to carry out its mission. This endowment included several corn or grist mills including, for instance, the tide mill at Eling, Hants. In 1534, King Henry VIII broke with the Pope in Rome and deprived the Roman church of its annates (annual taxes). Winchester College was included in the list of church benefices which Henry appropriated. However, in 1535, an Act specifically excluded the Colleges of Winchester and Eton and the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, from payment of these taxes. Having survived, the College obtained a licence, dated April 14th 1539, from Bishop Gardiner (of Winchester) to Warden More (of the College) ‘to build and maintain a mill for grinding their corn at a suitable spot … on the stream that runs from St.

These daily THUM flights involved taking readings at altitudes up to 30,000 feet and reporting on clouds, ice formation, contrails, turbulence, haze, visibility and prevailing weather conditions, with the readings being passed to the Meteorological Office. On one occasion whilst being flown by the THUM Flight leader, John Formby, the pilot noticed signs of over-speeding of the propeller and low oil pressure whilst at less than 1000feet. The symptoms worsened and he made an emergency landing at the disused airfield at Calveley, Cheshire.

  • Issue 109 – June 2021
    The Magazine of the Manchester Aviation MAVAS Art Society Issue 109 – June 2021 “Into the Night” The original painting by Chris Stone Oils on 26” x 16” stretched linen canvas EDITORIAL The front cover image is a detail from an oil painting entitled “Into the Night" by member across the pond, Chris Stone. It is an excellent portrayal of a Lightning F.2A code “J” of 19 Sqn piloted by the owner of the picture - Air Chief Marshal (retired) Sir William Wratten – who served on that squadron as a young flight lieutenant at RAF Gutersloh in Germany during the latter half of the 1960s. In order to fit the format of the magazine cover, Chris kindly allowed me to crop the horizontal, and extend the vertical dimensions of his painting (full painting shown above). Of necessity this has an impact on the composition of the original picture, which has the aircraft entering the picture from ‘stage right’’ with a good part of the sky brightening in the sunset towards the west and an occasional star showing through. Nevertheless, the image still conveys pleasing reflections and shadows on the fuselage, and the phenomenal power of the twin Rolls Royce Avon engines as they propel the Lightning on its take-off run into the night. On a more general topic, your Editor thanks those members – and personal friends – who have provided material for the magazine bank. We simply could not continue without these regular inputs Keep up the good work Peter Published on the 1st Thursday in March, June, September and December P.2 CONTENTS Front Cover – Bae Lightning F.2A by C.

    600 Praeter Sescentos “THE RIGHT OF THE LINE” 600 (City of London) Squadron RAuxAF Association Newsletter Patron: The Viscount Trenchard of Wolfeton December 2010 Editorial Welcome to another 600 Sqn Association Newsletter albeit this time from a new Editor. I have taken over from Robin Van Geene who stepped down as Editor and would like to thank Robin for all his superb efforts to date. So, as Robin reported in his first newsletter, this is also my first attempt at putting together a newsletter. I have tried to jazz things up a bit, so if things are not as you like them, please do let me know – but please do also tell me if you dont like it! The aim is to pass on all our news and details of our events in a way, which is easy to digest, informative, fun, and most importantly interesting to read. If I miss the plot occasionally, do tell me so I can correct it for next time. First, a little about me so those of you who have not met me know who I am. I joined the RAuxAF in 1997 as a raw recruit following some time in the late 70’s with 86 (Heston & Isleworth) Squadron, Air Training Corps and then the Royal Engineers in the early 80’s. I joined 1 MHU as an AC under the then OC Edna Partridge before we were “Rebadged” as 600 Sqn. I reached the lofty heights of Corporal before personal matters prompted me to “retire” early in 2002. In 2007, I assumed the role of Association Standard bearer and late 2008 was appointed committee member.
