  • Harrier Park Set for Take-Off As Access Road Opens
    News 30.04.18 Harrier Park set for take-off as access road opens A “transformational” industrial development at a strategic site in the East Midlands is expected to pick up speed after the completion of a major road which opens up access for business. Harrier Park at Hucknall is expected to support up to 1500 new jobs and attract a new generation of businesses on a site which extends to 70 acres. A long-term project led by Muse Developments, it will see up to 90,000 square metres of employment space and hundreds of new homes built on surplus land alongside the Rolls-Royce Aerospace supply chain plant off atnallW Road. Whilst residential development is already underway, large-scale industrial development hinges on new roads which will enable vehicle access to and from the site on to the Hucknall by-pass through a new access road which has been jointly funded by a £7m investment by Nottinghamshire County Council and Rolls-Royce. Councillor Kay Cutts, leader of Nottinghamshire County Council, was among those present at the formal opening of the new road which leads into the site from the junction. She said that accelerating the growth of the county economy by supporting new development was a top priority. “This is an important milestone for a development that has the potential to make a real difference to the Nottinghamshire economy and we have been delighted to play a significant part in its progress,” she commented “We want to support not only world-leading businesses like Rolls-Royce but also provide opportunities for other businesses in the county to expand and for companies from outside the area to enjoy the benefits which come from investing in Nottinghamshire.” David Hughes, the Council’s newly-appointed director for Growth and Investment, added: “We need to create new opportunities for our people and show that Nottinghamshire is a great place to invest in and do business.

  • Nottinghamshire Aviation Memorials
    Nottinghamshire Aviation Memorials Aviation | Aviation Memorials in Nottinghamshire We love to commemorate our aviation heritage. In Nottinghamshire We Love To Commemorate Our Aviation Heritage The diversity of aviation memorial locations across the county is impressive. These memorials are not just at airfield sites, but they can also be found in churches, village halls, on city streets and at remote countryside locations. Some memorials are relatively new, whilst others can trace their origins back Nottinghamshire decades. These memorials, some of them raised through public subscription, reflect the lives of national figures like Albert Ball VC; whilst others are simpler marks of respect that have been erected thanks to the efforts of small groups of individuals. There are even sculptures and pub signs that highlight the county’s contribution to the development of significant aviation technologies. Collectively they play a part in helping to commemorate the county’s aviation heritage. Many individuals had travelled from around the world to air bases in Aviation Memorials Aviation | Nottinghamshire to train as World War II bomber crews. A common bond that joins most of these memorials together is that they commemorate the lives of brave individuals who were lost whilst learning these new skills; often in difficult weather conditions, a long way from home and in a relatively congested airspace, caused by having a lot of airfields so close together. For each of the memorials listed we have provided some background information about the crews involved and the circumstances of the crash; this is merely a snapshot of incidents that are recorded in more detail in books and on websites and we would encourage you to investigate them further.

  • 180313 Rolls Royce Engines.Pages
    13 March 2018 Rolls Royce Aircraft Engines – A Broad Heritage and an Exciting Future Prof Rick Parker, CEng, FREng, FRAeS (Ex Director of Research and Technology, Rolls Royce) The 4th Elfyn Richards Prestige Lecture It is rare for the branch to re-invite a speaker. His presentation of the 1st Elvyn Richards lecture when he was Director of Research and Technology at Rolls Royce, addressed the latest aero-engine challenges, and on having recently retired he returned with a much broader perspective, addressing people, places, events and aero-engines overall that have impacted the technical evolution of aero- engine technology throughout more than 100 years. His presentation was focussed on facts and included some personal details on leading individuals. It was largely centred on Rolls Royce, but equivalently acknowledged other UK companies products, and their equivalent contributions to British aero-engine innovation. The starting point was the success of the Wright brothers in 1903 when they pioneered man- powered flight: ruefully he reflected that slightly over a decade previously a leading academic had propounded that “manned flight would never happen.” The Wrights’ engine was as crucial to their success as their aerodynamic and structural knowledge, and was innovative: especially citing how an aluminium alloy engine block was used to minimise weight. Three years later was when the Hon Charles Rolls and Henry Royce registered the name Rolls Royce. They were engineers with premises in Manchester, and involved with motor vehicles such as the Phantom, Nevertheless, Charles Rolls had been captured by the lure of Hon Charles Rolls aviation and acquired a license-built Wright aircraft, and in setting up the company, usually attributed to producing high- quality cars only, the deeds declared the firm as specialists in engines for “land, sea and air.” More spacious facilities were needed and an offer with a 5-years’ free land lease from the city of Derby led to a move from their plant in Lancashire to the midlands.
