Simon Thomson Simon Thomson Precisely on time at 1418 and 50 years on from the prototype Simon Islander’s first flight, those present witnessed a flypast by three BN-2 aircraft courtesy of B- N Group. This was followed by a re -enactment of the first flight by George Cormack in his Islander G -BUBP that he had brought down from his base at Cumbernauld in Scotland especially for “Islander 50”. Thanks George for this and all you have done for BNAPS. The re-enactment flight was superb finishing with the high speed downwind pass that captured all the sights and sound of the BN-2 Islander’s “magic” – an unforgettable experience.

  • Historic Environment Action Plan Brading Haven and Bembridge Isle
    Directorate of Community Services Director Sarah Mitchell Historic Environment Action Plan Brading Haven and Bembridge Isle Isle of Wight County Archaeology and Historic Environment Service October 2008 01983 823810 archaeology @iow.gov.uk Iwight.com HEAP for Brading Haven and Bembridge Isle INTRODUCTION The Brading Haven and Bembridge Isle HEAP Area comprises land surrounding the former Brading Haven together with the reclaimed land of the haven itself. It includes the settlement of Brading in the west of the Area, St Helens and Nettlestone in the north, Bembridge in the east and Yaverland in the south. Part of this Area, including Bembridge and Yaverland, was for much of its history an island in its own right, cut off from the Wight mainland by arms of the sea at high tide and muddy gulfs at low tide, hence its former name of ‘Bembridge Isle’. A wide area of sea flowed up between Bembridge and St. Helens, past Brading and Yaverland and then joined up with another branch of sea that entered through a gap between Yaverland and Sandown where the boating lake is today. The area between Yaverland and Sandown became known as the ‘Sandown Level’ after it had been drained. A further branch struck off west towards Alverstone. These tidal inlets effectively cut Bembridge Isle off from the rest of the Island until the construction of a causeway at Yar Bridge in the Middle Ages. However, Brading Haven remained as a wide tidal inlet at the mouth of the Eastern Yar River, extending as far inland as Brading, until it was drained between 1878 and 1880, leaving the much smaller area of Bembridge Harbour (Martin 2004a).

  • The Isle of Wight in the English Landscape
    THE ISLE OF WIGHT IN THE ENGLISH LANDSCAPE: MEDIEVAL AND POST-MEDIEVAL RURAL SETTLEMENT AND LAND USE ON THE ISLE OF WIGHT HELEN VICTORIA BASFORD A study in two volumes Volume 1: Text and References Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Bournemouth University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2013 2 Copyright Statement This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and due acknowledgement must always be made of the use of any material contained in, or derived from, this thesis. 3 4 Helen Victoria Basford The Isle of Wight in the English Landscape: Medieval and Post-Medieval Rural Settlement and Land Use Abstract The thesis is a local-scale study which aims to place the Isle of Wight in the English landscape. It examines the much discussed but problematic concept of ‘islandness’, identifying distinctive insular characteristics and determining their significance but also investigating internal landscape diversity. This is the first detailed academic study of Isle of Wight land use and settlement from the early medieval period to the nineteenth century and is fully referenced to national frameworks. The thesis utilises documentary, cartographic and archaeological evidence. It employs the techniques of historic landscape characterisation (HLC), using synoptic maps created by the author and others as tools of graphic analysis. An analysis of the Isle of Wight’s physical character and cultural roots is followed by an investigation of problems and questions associated with models of settlement and land use at various scales.
