  • 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.

  • Catalina News 83
    ISSUE No 83 - SUMMER 2015 Thirty years ago this year, Plane Sailing Air Displays Ltd started operations with its first Catalina. Here she is over the Kent coast on February 20th 1985 at the end of the ferry flight from South Africa and inbound to RAF Manston. Soon afterwards she had been repainted in RAF colours and was flying all over Europe (see inside front cover) Arthur Gibson £1.75 (free to members) PHOTOPAGE Plane Sailing Air Displays Ltd operated its Wright Cyclone-powered 'Super Cat' between 1985 and 1998. This photograph was taken by a Royal Navy photographer in the vicinity of RNAS Portland in Dorset during an event there and before the aircraft had blister turrets placed back on the rear hull. It was painted to represent the RAF Catalina JV928/Y of 210 Squadron as flown by Flt Lt John Cruickshank when he was awarded the Victoria Cross. Later, it was repainted in RCAF colours as 9754/P to represent the other Catalina VC holder David Hornell, its Captain.

  • Air Transport
    The History of Air Transport KOSTAS IATROU Dedicated to my wife Evgenia and my sons George and Yianni Copyright © 2020: Kostas Iatrou First Edition: July 2020 Published by: Hermes – Air Transport Organisation Graphic Design – Layout: Sophia Darviris Material (either in whole or in part) from this publication may not be published, photocopied, rewritten, transferred through any electronical or other means, without prior permission by the publisher. Preface ommercial aviation recently celebrated its first centennial. Over the more than 100 years since the first Ctake off, aviation has witnessed challenges and changes that have made it a critical component of mod- ern societies. Most importantly, air transport brings humans closer together, promoting peace and harmo- ny through connectivity and social exchange. A key role for Hermes Air Transport Organisation is to contribute to the development, progress and promo- tion of air transport at the global level. This would not be possible without knowing the history and evolu- tion of the industry. Once a luxury service, affordable to only a few, aviation has evolved to become accessible to billions of peo- ple. But how did this evolution occur? This book provides an updated timeline of the key moments of air transport. It is based on the first aviation history book Hermes published in 2014 in partnership with ICAO, ACI, CANSO & IATA. I would like to express my appreciation to Professor Martin Dresner, Chair of the Hermes Report Committee, for his important role in editing the contents of the book. I would also like to thank Hermes members and partners who have helped to make Hermes a key organisa- tion in the air transport field.

  • The Aircraft Flown by 24 Squadron
    The Aircraft Flown by 24 Squadron 24 Squadron RAF is currently the Operational Training Squadron for the Lockheed C130J Hercules, based at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire. Apart from a short period as a cadre in 1919, they have been continuously operating for the RFC & RAF since 1915. They started off as a Scout (Fighter) Squadron, developed into a ground attack unit, became a communications specialist with a subsidiary training role, and in 1940 became a transport squadron. I have discovered records of 100 different types being allocated or used by the Squadron, some were trial aircraft used for a few days and others served for several years, and in the case of the Lockheed Hercules decades! In addition many different marks of the same type were operated, these include; 5 Marks of the Avro 504 1 civil and 4 Military marks of the Douglas DC3/ Dakota All 7 marks of the Lockheed Hudson used by the RAF 4 marks of the Lockheed Hercules 5 marks of the Bristol F2B fighter 3 Marks of the Vickers Wellington XXIV Squadron has operated aircraft designed by 39 separate concerns, built in Britain, Belgium, France, Germany, Holland, and the USA. The largest numbers from one maker/ designer are the Airco and De Havilland DH series totalling 22 types or marks, followed by 12 types or marks from Lockheed, and 11 from Avro. The total number of aircraft operated if split down into different marks comes to 137no from the Airspeed “Envoy” to the Wicko “Warferry” Earliest Days 24 Squadron was formed at Hounslow as an offshoot of 17 Squadron on the 1st September 1915 initially under the command of Capt A G Moore.
