    Issue 01 – 2012 ACI World AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT NEWS A service provided by ACI World in cooperation with Momberger Airport Information www.mombergerairport.info Editor & Publisher: Martin Lamprecht [email protected] / Founding Editor & Publisher: Manfred Momberger EUROPE Great Britain: Plymouth Airport could become a GBP 25 million to 30 million ‘world-class international gateway’ under plans being worked on by a group of business people campaigning to save it. On 23 December 2011, the Viable group unveiled a vision for the Derriford site which would see the runway extended, a new terminal built, and land turned over for lucrative commercial use. Viable will discuss the plans with Plymouth City Council. The Sutton Harbour Group (SHG), which operates Plymouth on a 150-year-lease from Plymouth City Council, closed the airport on 23 December 2011 saying it is not economically sustainable. But Viable, which opposed the closure, disagrees with the suggestion that Plymouth cannot support a top-class aerodrome. Basing its design on London City Airport, Viable envisages a facility that could eventually handle up to 1 million passengers a year. The phased project would take up to ten years to fully realize, initially seeing the reopening of the airport with restricted operations and limited services. But the group said that after about three years, the operation could be expanded dramatically. Its vision is for the runway to be extended from 1160 m to its maximum 1390 m, so larger aircraft can be welcomed. A runway loop would mean aircraft can wait for take-off slots, diminishing delays. But ahead of this, a simple initial resurfacing of the runway would only cost GBP 500 000, Viable said, a quarter of the expected cost.

Downloaded from http://hdl.handle.net/10072/375758 Griffith Research Online https://research-repository.griffith.edu.au The Flying Boat Era: Its Role as a Catalyst in the Development of Aviation and Social History in Australia Phillip Martin Madden Bachelor of Aviation with Distinction School of Humanities, Languages and Social Science Arts Education and Law Group Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the Degree of Master of Arts Research March 2018 Abstract This thesis analyses the significance of the flying boat to modes of imperial British connectedness through aviation, with a specific focus on interwar Australia. The thesis demonstrates the evolution of the flying boats' contribution to Australia’s development through their position at the crucial intersection of the nation’s economic development and military defence. It argues that the flying boats provide a unique lens through which to explore Australia’s changing sense of national and global connectedness in a period of rapid technological change. The significance of flying boats to the commercial and social life of Australia should not be understated. However, recognition of their significance has been diminished by a tendency to focus exclusively on their role during World War II. The result has been to disassociate and understate the salience of the flying boat era as a whole.
