However, we do have ing ten new members.

Full details of additional Air-Britain books and more detailed descriptions are shown online AUSTER – the Company and the Aircraft Tom Wenham, Rod Simpson & Malcolm Fillmore NEW Auster Aircraft has a long and distinguished history, starting with its formation as British Taylorcraft in 1938 and end - ing with its absorption into Beagle Aircraft in 1960.The Auster was not, strictly, a new design since it had its origins in the American Taylorcraft two seater. However, World War II gave it a welcome momentum which led to more than 1,600 artillery spotter Austers being built for the British and other air forces. The Rearsby factory was at maximum production during the war - but, as with all other aircraft manufacturing plants, it found a sudden collapse in military orders when peace came. However, there were returning flyers keen to keep their skills alive and the Autocrat and its successors were successful, not only in the UK but also across the world. Using the same basic airframe, the Auster constantly changed its shape and the 180hp Husky of 1960 was a very different animal from the original 55hp Taylorcraft Model C. Austers were sold all over the world and were used for many tasks including crop spraying, aerial advertising and joyriding. The company also developed new models including the very successful AOP.9, and the less successful Agricola, Atlantic and Avis. -
BMFA Scale Technical Committee Newsletter - December 2013 Editorial: Andy Sephton
BMFA Scale Technical Committee Newsletter - December 2013 Editorial: Andy Sephton The main news for this issue is Scale Helicopters will be joining BMFA Scale from the R/C Power Technical Committee with effect from the 2014 season. The 2014 Rule Book will incorporate the Helicopter Scale Rules and we will be co-opting a Scale Helicopter flyer onto the Scale Technical Committee. I didn’t get the chance to see them at this year’s Nationals, but I’m looking forward to witnessing their models next year. I’m sure you’ll join me in giving them a warm welcome into our group. For Scale Indoor Flyers, please note that the next Scale Indoor Nationals will be my last as organiser. We need a successor, please contact me for more information. I was asked by more than one modeller if static judging could be brought into the flying only schedule for Scale Indoor Free Flight and RC so that more complex models with less than ideal flying characteristics would not be disadvantaged. The very reason that flying only was introduced was to give the less complex models a chance in Scale competition. It also allows models with less than complete documentation to be constructed and demonstrated in competition. The best place to compete complex models is the Nationals, Flying Only is for flying models and there is no mark given for complexity. There will be a number of rule changes for 2014 in the January 2014 issue of the BMFA Scale Rule Book. See later in this Newsletter for a summary Results: to save space, result tables for those competitions that have their results promulgated on the Scale BMFA website have not been included in the Newsletter. -

We have seen the provisional end of year results which are now being audited and put in to the usual annual report. While an overall loss is indicated there have been a number of high expenditure items this year but that sets us up for the next 10+ years. I will make further comment when the full report is out. The club is still in a healthy position and keeps it’s good name out there as was evidenced by the complimentary comments from recent air show participants. -

The Bristol M.1 Monoplane
20 THE BRISTOL M.1 MONOPLANE By Colin Owers The introduction of the synchronised machine gun by the Germans saw the Allies without any aircraft capable of matching the new German scouts. The Royal Aircraft Factory had already produced a single-seat version of the B.E.2c under the designation B.E.12. This aircraft had such a disastrous combat career that in June 1916 Sir Douglas Haig condemned its further use on the Western Front. On the 14th of the following month a remarkable little monoplane was flown for the first time. Its performance was such that its failure to be ordered for the Western Front has remained one of the unresolved questions of the Great War. This monoplane was designed for the Bristol company by Captain Frank Barnwell who had returned in August 1915 as Chief Designer "on indefinite leave without pay" from the RFC. Barnwell had tested spinners on the Bristol Scout, and comparison between Scout 5555 with a hemispherical spinner and Scout 5556 with a pointed spinner revealed that the latter was prone to vibration and structurally unstable while the domed spinner gave no trouble. Barnwell had then designed his new monoplane around the 110 hp Clerget 9Z rotary engine in a similar cowling fitted with a hemispherical spinner. Designated M.lA the new Bristol design was one of the cleanest aircraft of its time, Gone were the multitude of drag-inducing struts and wires. Two landing wires supported each wing from a curved cabane which was mounted over the cockpit so that it also functioned as roll-over protection for the pilot. -
