FALL 2016 | ISSUE #27 IN THIS ISSUE UPDATE: 75th Commemoration Events AEROLOGICAL TOWER restored READ THE 2015 ANNUAL REPORT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT December evokes many special sounds, sights, and memories all around. The month is doubly auspicious, as it includes honoring my wife and mother on their birthdays, and of course, the celebration of Christmas. It also marks our Museum’s anniversary, coinciding with the season when thousands arrive in Hawaii to escape the winter cold. This December, however, is even more special. It’s the 75th Commemoration of the 1941 attack that prompted the United States to enter the battle for freedom. We are deeply engaged to mark the 75th anniversary. Our December 3rd Saturday night gala in Hangar 79 will kick off more than a week of activities and events. And it’s the Museum’s 10th anniversary as well! Our historic Hangar 79, which survived the 1941 attack, houses a collection of remarkable vintage aircraft flown by combat heroes. Last year, the Japanese Nakajima B5N2 Type 97 Torpedo Bomber “Kate” and the OH-58E Kiowa arrived, and this year, the F-16A Fighting Falcon and the AT-6/SNJ Texan joined our ranks. Ken DeHoff During our gala, the Boeing B-17E Flying Fortress and Kate will be on display in our Lt. Executive Director of Operations Ted Shealy Restoration Shop as in-progress exhibits. We take the opportunity to share the importance of these war-birds and the ongoing work on each. We present the Museum as a living and exciting place to visit and work.

West Essex Aviation Crashes and Mishaps
North Weald Airfield Museum Archives 1 Crashes and Mishaps 3 WEST ESSEX AVIATION CRASHES & MISHAPS WORLD WAR 2 North Weald Airfield Museum Archives 2 Crashes and Mishaps 3 WEST ESSEX AVIATION CRASHES & MISHAPS EXPANSION AND WAR 1939 - 1940 As the Royal Air Force and other military arms rapidly expanded in the late 1930s, the numbers of reported crashes rose rapidly. February 4, 1939. The prototype of the monoplane Bristol Bombay bomber-transport, the Bristol 130, K3583, forced landed at Chigwell according to those historical documents that bother to mention the incident at all. Such forced landings were not an unfamiliar occurrence up until the end of the 1939-45 war, the performance of the machines and the lay of the land still allowed for safe landings and take-off to be performed. The Bristol 130, constructors number 7809, first flew from the company airfield at Filton, Bristol on June 23, 1935. With a wing span of 96 feet it was the largest aircraft the com- pany had built to date, but not, by far the largest type then flying in the world. Its size did however preclude landings in some fields that might offer themselves in an emergency. On this occasion in early 1939 the 27 seat 130 was able to land safely in a field presently bordered by Forest Road, Roebuck Road and Fowler Road, Redbridge. The description given in the history books - of Chigwell - is incorrect by a matter of a few dozen yards. Having landed, without further damage, repaired the fault, and prepared to return to the air, it was sheer bad luck that followed.
