Arado Ar 234 This production list is presented to you by the editorial team of "Soviet Transports" - current to the beginning of January 2021. Additions and corrections are welcome at [email protected] Arado Ar 234 "Blitz" in Soviet service Soviet troops captured one example of the world's first jet bomber in northern Germany in spring 1945 (Russian sources state that it was found at Pütnitz in March, but Pütnitz was occupied by the Red Army only on 2 May). The aircraft underwent short trials at Rechlin in early 1946, but suffered from repeated engine problems. As the Soviet specialists involved in the trials were not impressed by the "Blitz" they refrained from sending it to the Soviet Union. It is probable that further Ar 234s (especially of the Ar 234C-3 version) fell into Soviet hands when the Red Army captured the Arado factory at Alt-Lönnewitz (Brandenburg) on 24 April 1945. One Russian source states that one Ar 234B and one Ar 234C were despatched to the Soviet Union where they underwent comprehensive study - in particular, one of the aircraft was thoroughly examined by BNT, the Bureau of New Technology. One of the captured Ar 234s was restored to airworthy condition in 1946 and used by the LII for testing brake parachutes. 140355 no code Ar 234B-2 Soviet Air Force f/f 30nov44 previously opb KG 76 of the German Air Force; in dark green/brown purple camo c/s with light grey undersides, the last letter of the unit code may have been an 'F'; captured by Soviet troops in damaged condition (after a forced landing) reportedly at Pütnitz mar45, but that cannot be correct; the damaged landing gear, wing and parts of the fuselage were repaired by Walther-Bachmann-Flugzeugbau at Ribnitz; retained its German c/s, but the German crosses and swastikas were superimposed by Red Stars; slighty damaged during its first test flight from Pütnitz (a ferry flight to Rechlin ?) probably jun45 when one of the Jumo 004B-1 engines failed; repaired by a team from NII VVS; undertook 5 test flights from Rechlin jan46/feb46 (piloted by NII VVS test pilot Major Aleksei Kubyshkin), the left engine failed during climb-out 26jan46 and the right engine flamed out during the take-off run 26feb46, in both cases the engines caught fire; was neither ferried nor shipped to the Soviet Union, but abandoned at Rechlin Armstrong Whitworth "Albemarle" in Soviet service The twin-engined "Albemarle" was conceived as a reconnaissance bomber, but was mainly used as a special transport and a glider tug. When the Soviet Union appealed for supplies of transport aircraft (when their demands for Douglas C-47s could not be met), Britain offered 200 "Albemarles" 'extra to Protocol'. These were in principle accepted on 1 March 1943. For the preparation of the aircraft for delivery and the training of the Soviet crews, No. 305 Ferry Training unit was set up at Errol (Scotland). The first "Albemarle" destined for the Soviet Union, P1567, took off from Scotland for Moscow-Vnukovo on 3 March 1943, and another twelve were ferried by GVF crews in March and April 1943 (two of them disappeared without trace on their delivery flight to the Soviet Union). When the first aircraft were delivered, the Soviets were unhappy with them and complained about various undesirable features and quality problems. Because of the delays which ensued, the British reduced their commitment to 100 aircraft on 7 October 1943. Although further "Albemarles" were modified to meet the Soviet complaints, these were rejected by Soviet representatives in late December 1943, and no more were delivered. On 4 March 1944, the remaining 86 aircraft reserved for delivery to the Soviet Union were formally 're-appropriated' and issued to RAF units in the build-up to the D-Day invasion. One of the "Albemarles", P1477, underwent trials with the NII VVS, and afterwards the surviving 11 aircraft were given civil registrations and entered service with the GVF on transport duties. Later a total of seven "Albemarles" was transferred to the Soviet Navy. Four of them were operated by 65 apon (special purpose aviation regiment) at Moscow-Izmailovo, and the surviving two were transferred to the Higher Naval Aviation School at Bezenchuk in 1944 which also received three "Albemarles" from the GVF regiment at Vnukovo. These five aircraft were used for the training of navigators and relocated to Nikolayev together with the school. Two of the "Albemarles" were still charge of the school by 9 May 1945, but were withdrawn from use in autumn that year. Two more "Albemarles" were reportedly used by 25 zapasnoi polk (reserve regiment) in Azerbaijan which trained crews on imported aircraft. The type was often referred to as AL-1 in Soviet sources.

  • HANDLEY PAGE HAMPDEN BOMBER X3023 Templewood Is A
    HANDLEY PAGE HAMPDEN BOMBER X3023 Templewood is a grade II listed building located near Northrepps in Norfolk. It was built as a shooting box in 1938/39 for senior conservative politician Sir Samuel Hoare, Lord Templewood, who served in several cabinet posts including that of Secretary of State for Air in the 1920’s. The calm of the countryside was shattered when at 06.20hrs on the 20th November 1940 whilst still dark and in severe weather Hampden Bomber X3023 of No 44 Squadron based at RAF Waddington crashed about 200 yards from Templewood and caught fire. The aircraft was returning from a bombing mission in central Germany. Suffering severe damage and flying on one engine in atrocious weather, the pilot Sergeant Jack Ottaway displayed supreme airmanship in flying the aircraft over the North Sea and reaching the coast. However he finally lost control and crashed in a wooded area and was killed along with the navigator Pilot Officer Archie Kerr and wireless operator/air gunner Sergeant Stanley Elliott. A further air gunner Sergeant Stanley Hird survived the crash and served to the end of the war as a Flying Officer having been awarded the DFC. The Memorial Following a well researched paper on the detail of the crash written by James Mindham a local historian who had discovered the site of the crash and evidence from the aircraft wreckage, the current owner of Templewood, Eddie Anderson a Film Producer, decided to erect on the spot a memorial to X3023 and its crew in the form of a tree stump and commemorative plate.

  • Military Aviation Safety
    Order Code RL31571 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Military Aviation Safety Updated November 25, 2003 /name redacted/ Specialist in National Defense Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Military Aviation Safety Summary Military aviation safety is a concern to policy makers in both the Department of Defense (DoD) and Congress. DoD is concerned about improving safety because aviation accidents erode DoD’s war fighting capabilities in many tangible and intangible ways. DoD aviation accidents are classified by the severity of injury or property damage. Class A accidents are the most severe events and the rate at which these accidents occur is the most frequently used yardstick for measuring aviation safety. The Office of the Secretary of Defense, and the military Services (including the Coast Guard) have different roles and responsibilities in military aviation safety promotion and mishap investigations. Generally speaking, the Services have the most active and involved role in promoting aviation safety. The Services conduct two types of mishap investigations, generally referred to as safety investigations and legal investigations. In the commercial and civil sector, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) conducts a single investigation. The status of military aviation safety depends heavily on one’s viewpoint. There is no consensus on how well the Services are doing in promoting and improving aviation safety. Some believe that the current mishap rate is acceptable. Others believe that it is unacceptable and can be improved. Others believe that DoD should strive for, and achieve, a “zero mishap rate.” Over the past 50 years, data show that the total annual number of accidents and the rate at which they occur have significantly decreased.
