  • We Envy No Man on Earth Because We Fly. the Australian Fleet Air
    We Envy No Man On Earth Because We Fly. The Australian Fleet Air Arm: A Comparative Operational Study. This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Murdoch University 2016 Sharron Lee Spargo BA (Hons) Murdoch University I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. …………………………………………………………………………….. Abstract This thesis examines a small component of the Australian Navy, the Fleet Air Arm. Naval aviators have been contributing to Australian military history since 1914 but they remain relatively unheard of in the wider community and in some instances, in Australian military circles. Aviation within the maritime environment was, and remains, a versatile weapon in any modern navy but the struggle to initiate an aviation branch within the Royal Australian Navy was a protracted one. Finally coming into existence in 1947, the Australian Fleet Air Arm operated from the largest of all naval vessels in the post battle ship era; aircraft carriers. HMAS Albatross, Sydney, Vengeance and Melbourne carried, operated and fully maintained various fixed-wing aircraft and the naval personnel needed for operational deployments until 1982. These deployments included contributions to national and multinational combat, peacekeeping and humanitarian operations. With the Australian government’s decision not to replace the last of the aging aircraft carriers, HMAS Melbourne, in 1982, the survival of the Australian Fleet Air Arm, and its highly trained personnel, was in grave doubt. This was a major turning point for Australian Naval Aviation; these versatile flyers and the maintenance and technical crews who supported them retrained on rotary aircraft, or helicopters, and adapted to flight operations utilising small compact ships.

  • The Log of Lt Cdr E C Roden
    THE LOG OF LIEUTENANT COMMANDER E C RODEN RNR HMS Caronia 3 August 1914 - 15 May 1915 Edited by E J Scaplehorn Published by kind permission of Victoria and Fred Silvester © Liverpool Nautical Research Society 2020 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The Liverpool Nautical Research Society wishes to thank Victoria and Fred Silvester for allowing us to publish Lieutenant Commander Roden’s Log, and for their encouragement and support in enabling this important memoir of the Great War at sea to reach a wider audience. We are particularly indebted to Fred Silvester for producing the first typed transcript, which made subsequent editing far less difficult than it would otherwise have been. We would also like to thank the Liverpool RNR Officers’ Club (‘Sea Urchins’) and especially Lieutenant Commander John Glover RD RNR for highlighting the existence of the Log, and for help with editing. The biographical introduction below is largely derived from a ‘Sea Urchins’ publication commemorating their centenary. We are fortunate that the transcribed deck log of HMS Caronia is available online at http://www.naval-history.net/OWShips-WW1-08-HMS_Caronia.htm. This has been invaluable in setting Lieutenant Commander Roden’s private log within its historical context. The appearance of Lieutenant Commander Roden’s initials throughout the deck log confers an immediacy which enhances both documents. We acknowledge with gratitude the contribution of Naval-History.Net in developing this article. 1 EDITOR’S NOTE The original log, in the possession of Victoria Silvester, is handwritten in a foolscap-sized notebook with board covers. It was passed down to Victoria from her mother, Mary Lloyd-Davies, daughter of Lt Cdr Roden.
