  • The Bristol M.1 Monoplane
    20 THE BRISTOL M.1 MONOPLANE By Colin Owers The introduction of the synchronised machine gun by the Germans saw the Allies without any aircraft capable of matching the new German scouts. The Royal Aircraft Factory had already produced a single-seat version of the B.E.2c under the designation B.E.12. This aircraft had such a disastrous combat career that in June 1916 Sir Douglas Haig condemned its further use on the Western Front. On the 14th of the following month a remarkable little monoplane was flown for the first time. Its performance was such that its failure to be ordered for the Western Front has remained one of the unresolved questions of the Great War. This monoplane was designed for the Bristol company by Captain Frank Barnwell who had returned in August 1915 as Chief Designer "on indefinite leave without pay" from the RFC. Barnwell had tested spinners on the Bristol Scout, and comparison between Scout 5555 with a hemispherical spinner and Scout 5556 with a pointed spinner revealed that the latter was prone to vibration and structurally unstable while the domed spinner gave no trouble. Barnwell had then designed his new monoplane around the 110 hp Clerget 9Z rotary engine in a similar cowling fitted with a hemispherical spinner. Designated M.lA the new Bristol design was one of the cleanest aircraft of its time, Gone were the multitude of drag-inducing struts and wires. Two landing wires supported each wing from a curved cabane which was mounted over the cockpit so that it also functioned as roll-over protection for the pilot.

  • 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.

The study arises partly out of the discovery of aircraft parts and associated human remains as a result of marine aggregate dredging. The objectives of the Scoping Study are as follows: x to review existing literature relating to the archaeology of aircraft crash sites at sea, existing guidance, and the legislative context; x to clarify the range and archaeological potential of aircraft crash sites, by presenting examples of aircraft crash sites, which will include a range of site conditions and mechanisms affecting site survival, their management and investigation; x to establish the relationship, in terms of numbers and composition, between the National Monuments Record

    Number 7 SMITHSONIAN ANNALS OF FLIGHT SMITHSONIAN AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM & SERIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION The emphasis upon publications as a means of diffusing knowledge was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. In his formal plan for the Insti­ tution, Joseph Henry articulated a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This keynote of basic research has been adhered to over the years in the issuance of thousands of titles in serial publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com­ mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Annals of Flight Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes original articles and monographs dealing with the research and collections of its several museums and offices and of professional colleagues at other institutions of learning. These papers report newly acquired facts, synoptic interpretations of data, or original theory in specialized fields. These pub­ lications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, laboratories, and other interested institutions and specialists throughout the world.
