Weltkulturerbe CW (Update zu DXMB 1809): Am 12. Dezember 2012 hat das Bundeskabinett den Beitritt Deutschlands zum UNESCO-Uebereinkommen zur Erhaltung des immateriellen Kulturerbes beschlossen. Der DARC wird die vom AKWM vorbereiteten Unterlagen im Maerz einreichen. Polen und Italien haben bereits die von der IARU verteilten Unterlagen eingereicht. Die nationalen UNESCO-Bueros fuehren eine Vorpruefung der eingegangenen Antraege (Stichtag 31. Maerz) durch. Danach werden die Antraege an die UNESCO in Paris file:///Z|/DOKUMENTATION-BULLETINS/DARC-DXMB/2013/Textfassung/dxmb2013/dxmb1813.txt[07.01.2014 21:43:59] weitergeleitet. CW koennte dann im November 2014 von der UNESCO in die Liste der immateriellen Kulturgueter der Menschheit aufgenommen werden. Danach darf sich jeder CWist als Bewahrer eines Weltkulturgutes fuehlen. Es wird nun aber auch Zeit, dass man sich darauf vorbereitet, die Meldung im November 2014 medial fuer den Amateurfunk zu nutzen. Wer dabei nur an Sonderrufzeichen, SDOK und Diplomprogramm oder duerre Pressemeldungen denkt, geht in die Irre. Es darf nichts von Funkamateuren fuer Funkamateure werden, von denen die Aussenwelt nichts erfaehrt sondern es werden Aktionen noetig, mit denen der Amateurfunk wieder ins Bewusstsein der Bevoelkerung rueckt. Erst dann kann man wieder auf steigende Zahlen von Neulizenzen hoffen. (Man kann sich nur fuer Sachen interessieren, die man kennt!).

    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.

Whether they mounted their attacks from the north or the south, when Norman barons invaded Wales after the Norman Conquest of 1066, they almost invariably ended up in West Wales and consolidated their position by building fortresses. Initially, these were simple “motte and bailey” constructions, typically built on a mound with ditches and/or wooden barricades for protection.

It came into being purely as a result of the decision to locate a naval dockyard on land owned by the Meyrick family of Bush. Shipwrights and carpenters, blacksmiths and riggers flocked to the new yard from villages on the Haven and from other dockyard towns, notably Plymouth. They and their families needed to be housed, and Pembroke Dock rapidly grew in classic grid-iron style, the pattern of streets still very much apparent today. Royal Naval Dockyard (SM 961037): Protected by high walls and gun towers, the Naval Dockyard occupied an 80-acre site. Work on building the dockyard began in 1814 and by 1890 some 2,000 men were employed constructing ships for the Royal Navy.

    THE NORTH WESSEX DOWNS AREA OF OUTSTANDING NATURAL BEAUTY Promotional Toolkit Issue 1 Photograph: Gary Prictor Fast and free access to the promotional resources you need to help boost visitor numbers Overview of The North Wessex Downs Photograph: North Wessex Downs The North Wessex Downs is a tranquil yet stunning landscape of rolling chalk downlands, forests, woods and dales. Beech woodland crowns the tops of many of the downs providing wonderful panoramic views for miles around. Thinly populated, the downs project a feeling of remoteness and timelessness. In the vast skies above, skylarks, lapwings and majestic birds of prey can be seen. The world famous Uffington White Horse and Avebury Stone circle are located on the Ridgeway path running across the north of the region along with many other ancient barrows and hill forts. Close to major conurbations, the Downs is the ideal place to get away from it all and enjoy the freedom of the countryside while respecting the environment. There are many footpaths, horse riding trails and cycle paths criss-crossing the landscape and taking in many of the best views and ancient monuments. If you prefer to travel by water you can hire a canal boat or go Photograph: North Wessex Downs Photograph: Anne Seth canoeing along the Kennet and Avon Canal. The North Wessex Downs has a great industrial heritage. At the Crofton Pumping Station on the Kennet and Avon Canal, you can see the world’s oldest steam engines or visit the only working windmill in Wessex at Wilton. There are also fine country houses.
