THE AYIATIOI HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF AUSTRALIA JOUK^AL VOL, II Noc 6 JUHB 1961 WjKTHLY lUTES The four neT/ BuEIMG 707-138B's for Qantas Xsee page Hil) have been allotted the follo\'»-ing registrations and names s- VH-EBH City of Darwin, VH-EBI ¥finton, VH-EBJ Longreach, and Vli-EBE City of Hewcastle, The aircraft are scheduled to reach Sydney on 8th,, 24th,, and 28th, Angust and 4th, September respectiTely, The first one, VII-EBE, is also scheduled to operate the first "turbo-fan" commercial flight from Sydney to London via lew York commencing on 2nd, September, Recent tests by a U.S, operator^S^ shown that the service. .. performance with the turbo-fan engines is better than the estimates - fuel consumption is 15 per cent better than that with turbo-jet engines (the estimated figure was only 10 per cent) and the altitude range is now 34000 - 40000 feet. The flight times on Qantas BOEIHG senrices will be re-scheduled from 1st, October to take advantage of the higher speed, greater fuel econony and shorter take-off requirements of the turbo-fan aircraft and the flight time from Sydney to London via the Middle East will be reduced by two hours and the elapsed time by four and a half hours. The existing fleet of Qantas BOEING 707-138's (VH-EBA to EBG) will be sent to the U.S, progressively to be fitted with turbo-fan engines (see page 1,75) and the first aircraft, VE-EBA City of Melbourne, will departs on 31st, July, The last aircraft to be modified, VH-EBG, City of Hobart, is., scheduled to return to Sydney on 6th, January, 1962, To clear:.the way for the new BOEING 707-138B's, Qantas has changed the registrations of tvro of their DuUGLAS DC-4's: VH-EBE is now VH-EDA and TO-EBN. iB;:now'YH-EDB, In addition, the DuUGLAS DC-3C ':VH-CAE which Qantas recently purchased from the Department of Civil Aviation has been registered to the airline as VH-EDC, Qantas recently converted two of theii' IDCKPIEED SUPEE-CuNSTELLATIONS VH-EAA and EAB for operation as freighters but both aircraft have been temp­ orarily "put into mothballs" probably due to the slackening in the rate of grovrth of air traffic which has "been hampered by the political, economic and international situation". On 5,6,61, TAA carried their ten millionth passenger, this mark being reached in less than 15 years from the airline’s .first flight on Rth,.

  • BMFA Scale Technical Committee Newsletter - December 2013 Editorial: Andy Sephton
    BMFA Scale Technical Committee Newsletter - December 2013 Editorial: Andy Sephton The main news for this issue is Scale Helicopters will be joining BMFA Scale from the R/C Power Technical Committee with effect from the 2014 season. The 2014 Rule Book will incorporate the Helicopter Scale Rules and we will be co-opting a Scale Helicopter flyer onto the Scale Technical Committee. I didn’t get the chance to see them at this year’s Nationals, but I’m looking forward to witnessing their models next year. I’m sure you’ll join me in giving them a warm welcome into our group. For Scale Indoor Flyers, please note that the next Scale Indoor Nationals will be my last as organiser. We need a successor, please contact me for more information. I was asked by more than one modeller if static judging could be brought into the flying only schedule for Scale Indoor Free Flight and RC so that more complex models with less than ideal flying characteristics would not be disadvantaged. The very reason that flying only was introduced was to give the less complex models a chance in Scale competition. It also allows models with less than complete documentation to be constructed and demonstrated in competition. The best place to compete complex models is the Nationals, Flying Only is for flying models and there is no mark given for complexity. There will be a number of rule changes for 2014 in the January 2014 issue of the BMFA Scale Rule Book. See later in this Newsletter for a summary Results: to save space, result tables for those competitions that have their results promulgated on the Scale BMFA website have not been included in the Newsletter.

    NINETY-NINE News MY GOD! IT'S A WOMAN, a book review. Magazine of the Women In Aviation, The 2nd Conference ‘y-g ljO jP II-e International Organization of Maureen Ramsay, Another Dynamic 99 Women Pilots, Dorothy Gillis and Warbird Women The Ninety-Nines Inc. Your Candidates for International Director > May 1991 j GENERAL COUNSEL________ by Sylvia L. Paoli Minutes are the record of all the proceedings of a deliberative assembly. Their purpose is to show a record of what was DONE at the meeting, not what was SAID by the members. They should never reflect the secretary’s opinion, favorable or otherwise, on anything said or done. One of the most important require­ ments to accomplish this is the ability to distinguish fact from fiction— a skill incredibly lacking in most of us. We have little trouble telling natural color from a dye job, or real fur from imitation, or a “genuine” person from a “plastic” one, but when it comes to words, we fall dramatically short. An example are these two sentences: “A. Susie Smith reported on the survey taken to determine the feasibility of building a new City Hall. 75% approved, 25% disapproved. Proposed architects are Jones & Brown, and the construction firm is Brown & Jones.” “B. Susie Smith, the leading proponent of building a new City Hall, asserted that 75% of the constituency agreed with the need, desirability, and design of the proposed new City Hall and the outstanding qualifications of Jones & Brown, architects, and their related construction firm of Brown & Jones, with the minority citing only its wish not to spend any more money as the reason for its opposition.” Sentence “A” reflects a factual statement appropriate for minutes.
