And although interior green. The fuselage of the Hobby Boss Wildcats is divided into three parts, 4 with the usual left and right halves for most of the fuselage, while the lower portion of the forward fuselage that is under the wings and cockpit is molded as a separate piece. The kit’s instructions call for first attaching the completed cockpit to this separate lower tub, and then attaching the entire assembly to the rest of the fuselage. But I soon found that the joint between the rear portion of this lower tub and the remainder of the fuselage is one of the kit’s problem areas, and attaching the cockpit to it only exacerbates the problem. I discovered that it was easier to first glue the left and right fuselage halves together, and then insert the completed cockpit from the bottom and glue it to the inside of the fuselage. The bulkhead, two of the landing gear’s retraction struts, the oil reservoir and (sometimes!) the two intercoolers were all installed in the forward part of the tub as per kit instructions before attaching the tub to the remainder of the fuselage. I used super glue to attach the rear of the tub to the lower portion of the fuselage first, twisting and tugging as needed to get the entire seam between the two assemblies properly aligned. After this joint had solidly set up, I then super glued the joint on each side of the tub at the front of the fuselage, but without gluing together the top and bottom of the intervening wing root area at all. By not gluing this area together now, I had some latitude to later adjust the thickness of the wing root to make it match that of the wing. At this point the horizontal stabilizers can be attached so that they can serve as a reference line for getting the correct wing dihedral later. When gluing together the upper and lower wing halves, I recommend that you again avoid gluing the wing root area. Test fit the wings and if needed, trim or shim the wing roots on either the wing and/or the fuselage. On several of the ‘Cats that I built, the wing root on the fuselage seemed to be a bit thinner (top to bottom) than the corresponding root on the wings. I usually tried to correct this by trimming the wing’s ribs a bit to make the wing slightly thinner. There’s a good deal of “slop” in the wing joints, and again I’d recommend using super glue to attach the wings.

  • Thirty Years of Lockheed Vegas
    1 THIRTY YEARS OF LOCKHEED VEGAS by Chalmers A. Johnson AAHS Journal, Vol. 2, No. 1 - Spring 1957 Thirty years ago this year the first of a long line of superb aircraft bearing the Lockheed name made its debut in Los Angeles. This was the high-wing, strutless, monocoque-fuselage Vega. Developed from this aircraft was the mail-carrying Air Express, the streamlined Sirius and Altair and the hard-working passenger carrier, the Orion, The Vega was, however, the most famous of the wooden Lockheeds, It spread the name of what is today one of the giants of the American aircraft industry throughout the world. Mated with the famous Pratt and Whitney Wasp engine, the Lockheed Vega probably made more pioneering and historically important flights than any other single model of aircraft. This was due to its clear superiority of design and the craftsmanship incorporated into its construction. Today, there are about a half-dozen Vegas still in existence. They bear testimony to the ruggedness of this aircraft. The following report is concerned with a detailed history of the Lockheed Vega, It tells better than any description the fantastic history of one of America's most famous types of aircraft. It will be found that a large number of these aircraft found their way into our neighboring country, Mexico. In 1929, the American owned and founded Corporacion Aeronautica de Transportes (CAT) had the world's fastest airline. It was equipped with some of the first Wasp-Vegas, That they performed so well during the years of hangar-less life in the sun and dust of Torreon is a remarkable fact.

  • Defence Acquisition
    Defence acquisition Alex Wild and Elizabeth Oakes 17th May 2016 He efficient procurement of defence equipment has long been a challenge for British governments. It is an extremely complex process that is yet to be mastered with vast T sums of money invariably at stake – procurement and support of military equipment consumes around 40 per cent of annual defence cash expenditure1. In 2013-14 Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) spent £13.9bn buying and supporting military equipment2. With the House of Commons set to vote on the “Main Gate” decision to replace Trident in 2016, the government is set to embark on what will probably be the last major acquisition programme in the current round of the Royal Navy’s post-Cold War modernisation strategy. It’s crucial that the errors of the past are not repeated. Introduction There has been no shortage of reports from the likes of the National Audit Office and the Public Accounts Committee on the subject of defence acquisition. By 2010 a £38bn gap had opened up between the equipment programme and the defence budget. £1.5bn was being lost annually due to poor skills and management, the failure to make strategic investment decisions due to blurred roles and accountabilities and delays to projects3. In 2008, the then Secretary of State for Defence, John Hutton, commissioned Bernard Gray to produce a review of defence acquisition. The findings were published in October 2009. The following criticisms of the procurement process were made4: 1 http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20120913104443/http://www.mod.uk/NR/rdonlyres/78821960-14A0-429E- A90A-FA2A8C292C84/0/ReviewAcquisitionGrayreport.pdf 2 https://www.nao.org.uk/report/reforming-defence-acquisition-2015/ 3 https://www.nao.org.uk/report/reforming-defence-acquisition-2015/ 4 http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20120913104443/http://www.mod.uk/NR/rdonlyres/78821960-14A0-429E- A90A-FA2A8C292C84/0/ReviewAcquisitionGrayreport.pdf 1 [email protected] Too many types of equipment are ordered for too large a range of tasks at too high a specification.

Journalists wrote about it at the time, many people who were involved wrote about it in the immediate years that followed, and historians have tried to put it all together. The issues of foreign policy at the strategic level and the military operations that took place in this period have been especially well covered. However, the question of military strategic alternatives in this important era of British foreign policy has been less studied.
