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).

  • Welcome to the Isle of Wight
    UK SECTION MEETING ISLE OF WIGHT 28TH JUNE - 1ST JULY 2019 3 NIGHTS WELCOME TO THE ISLE OF WIGHT Originally called VECTIS by the Romans. It is in the English Channel approx. 2 miles (3.2 km) off the coast of Hampshire, separated by the Solent. The Island has been a holiday destination since Victorian times and is known for it’s mild climate, coastal scenery and beautiful landscapes of fields, downs and chines (ravines) The Island has been home to the poet’s Swinburne and Tennyson. Queen Victoria & Prince Albert built their much loved Summer Residence, Osborne House, on the Island which became her final home. It has a Maritime and Industrial background, including traditions of boat building, sail making, flying-boat manufacturing. The hovercraft and ‘The Black Knight’ space rocket, were all developed, tested and manufactured on the Island, all world leaders in there time. The Black Knight launched a satellite into space in the 1950’s, although still working, it is not used today. Unbelievably, after the successful launch in Australia the UK government decided there was no future for satellites and scrapped the program! It is also the former home of Saunders-Roe, a famous world leading Aviation Company. The Island has played an important part in the defence of Southampton & Portsmouth. It has been in the front-line of conflicts through the ages, including the Spanish Armada and the Battle of Britain. Also home to world famous Cowes Week, which is held the 1st week in August….. ON THE ISLE OF WIGHT A chine ( /ˈtʃaɪn/) is a steep-sided coastal river valley where the river flows to the sea through, typically, soft eroding cliffs of sandstone or clays.

The club was formed in 1974 and now has access to 15+ flying sites on the Island catering for all levels of skill. We have quiet, un-crowded sites, ideal for low airtime pilots and some of the inland sites have ‘local’ cross country potential. Whatever your skill level, we hope you will enjoy flying on the Island. The Isle of Wight has sites covering most wind directions, but please be aware that some sites are not suitable for low airtime pilots & others are not always open throughout the year. Many sites are on land owned by the National Trust - we are able to use these sites only under the terms of our agreement with them. Please observe the flying instructions listed for each site, do your bit to help protect wildlife and help us to keep all of the Island sites flyable. Please observe the rules set out in this guide. If in doubt contact a Committee member. The Club cannot be held responsible for errors or omissions from this sites guide. It is not a definitive publication. The Clubs relationship with site owners is dynamic and constantly changing. It is, therefore, the responsibility of the individual pilot to check and double check all details before taking to the air.
