    CASTLE STUDIES: RECENT PUBLICATIONS – 29 (2016) By Dr Gillian Scott with the assistance of Dr John R. Kenyon Introduction Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the CSG annual bibliography, this year containing over 150 references to keep us all busy. I must apologise for the delay in getting the bibliography to members. This volume covers publications up to mid- August of this year and is for the most part written as if to be published last year. Next year’s bibliography (No.30 2017) is already up and running. I seem to have come across several papers this year that could be viewed as on the periphery of our area of interest. For example the papers in the latest Ulster Journal of Archaeology on the forts of the Nine Years War, the various papers in the special edition of Architectural Heritage and Eric Johnson’s paper on moated sites in Medieval Archaeology. I have listed most of these even if inclusion stretches the definition of ‘Castle’ somewhat. It’s a hard thing to define anyway and I’m sure most of you will be interested in these papers. I apologise if you find my decisions regarding inclusion and non-inclusion a bit haphazard, particularly when it comes to the 17th century and so-called ‘Palace’ and ‘Fort’ sites. If these are your particular area of interest you might think that I have missed some items. If so, do let me know. In a similar vein I was contacted this year by Bruce Coplestone-Crow regarding several of his papers over the last few years that haven’t been included in the bibliography.

    Norborne Berkeley's Politics.Indd 197 25/01/2012 09:55 198 William Evans

    Trans. Bristol & Gloucestershire Archaeological Society 129 (2011), 197–219 Norborne Berkeley’s Politics: Principle, Party or Pragmatism? By WILLIAM EVANS Introduction This paper examines an aspect of the political career of Norborne Berkeley, baron Botetourt, who lived 1717–1770. A south Gloucestershire landowner, mine owner and tory, he was elected MP for Gloucestershire in 1741 with support from the jacobite Beauforts, into whose family his sister married.1 Whatever may have been the terms of that support, Berkeley distanced himself from their jacobitism and, though remaining a tory (and therefore at first proscribed from office), he became a loyal supporter of the Hanoverians, generally aligning himself with, but not overtly joining, political groupings as inclination and principle suggested. After the broad-bottom administration relaxed the prohibitions against tories holding official posts, Berkeley achieved some, but never high, political office – a proposal that he be appointed secretary at war was blocked – but under Bute he obtained a place at the court of George III, and successfully claimed a dormant peerage. Fortuitously he moved the fateful resolution that precipitated the American revolution. When he encountered financial difficulties through investment in a manufacturing company, he was helped by appointment as governor of Virginia, where his loyalty to the king conflicted with his personal sympathy with the colonists. Most historians have ignored Berkeley. Those that have noticed him tend to disregard or dismiss his political

    Needs for Manston Airport Engineers Oral /Written Specific issue hearing 2 My name is I am a local small business owner . Much has been said by others about air cargo needs ,KNMA wish to make you aware of other UK needs namely Aircraft Engineers.. .The UK NEEDS Aircraft Engineers. Statistics - In the next 20 years, airlines will have to add 25,000 new aircraft to the current 17,000- strong commercial fleet - By 2026, we will need 480,000 new technicians to maintain these aircraft and over 350,000 pilots to fly them The underlying problem Simply stated, the demand for aviation professionals will exceed supply. Factors include: - wholesale retirements in the current generation of aviation professionals - aviation professions not attractive enough to potential candidates - competition with other industry sectors for skilled employees - training capacity insufficient to meet demand - learning methodologies not responsive to new evolving learning style - accessibility to affordable training - lack of harmonisation of competencies in some aviation disciplines, and - little awareness by the “next generation” of types of aviation professions available.
