December 2014 skydivethemag.com British Parachute Association skyDIVEthe mag INSIDE: NATIONALS 2014 NEW HEAD UP RECORD TEAM GB WINS THE ESL ECLIPSE ON THE SECRETS OF GREAT TEAMS NEW WOMEN’S WORLD RECORD BODYFLIGHT REVENGE MEET TRIBUTES TO DARE WILSON AND TIM MACE PLUS ALL THE LATEST NEWS, IDEAS AND EVENTS WELCOME What a Mag! It’s absolutely bursting at the seams with competitions, records and a bumper Club Zone. It’s also bursting due to remembering two very special people – Dare Wilson and Tim Mace. I really could fi ll the entire Mag with memories of just these two individuals. Dare Wilson was the second Chairman of the BPA and he started this very magazine back in 1964. Although we have focused on his life within parachuting, he also had signifi cant military achievements. Tim Mace was a test pilot and cosmonaut who competed in every single skydiving discipline at World level – what a legend. I’m really looking forward to Skydive the Expo in Nottingham on January 24 2015. It’s for absolutely everyone, whether you’ve been jumping for decades or have only just started (or haven’t yet started!). I still remember my fi rst AGM, as it was then called – Rick ‘Oracle’ Boardman made me go, and I’m very glad he did! It was great to meet so many like-minded people and to fi nd out so much about this new sport that I already loved. That was fourteen years ago and it’s still one of the highlights of my year.

In FS, the current World Record 400-way taking part in the Dubai International has stood since 2006 and new records have moved towards sequential (multi-point) in recent Parachuting Competition from Nov 26- years. It is a category that was not previously pursued as much as the ‘one point, as big as Dec 7.

    The History of Air Transport KOSTAS IATROU Dedicated to my wife Evgenia and my sons George and Yianni Copyright © 2020: Kostas Iatrou First Edition: July 2020 Published by: Hermes – Air Transport Organisation Graphic Design – Layout: Sophia Darviris Material (either in whole or in part) from this publication may not be published, photocopied, rewritten, transferred through any electronical or other means, without prior permission by the publisher. Preface ommercial aviation recently celebrated its first centennial. Over the more than 100 years since the first Ctake off, aviation has witnessed challenges and changes that have made it a critical component of mod- ern societies. Most importantly, air transport brings humans closer together, promoting peace and harmo- ny through connectivity and social exchange. A key role for Hermes Air Transport Organisation is to contribute to the development, progress and promo- tion of air transport at the global level. This would not be possible without knowing the history and evolu- tion of the industry. Once a luxury service, affordable to only a few, aviation has evolved to become accessible to billions of peo- ple. But how did this evolution occur? This book provides an updated timeline of the key moments of air transport. It is based on the first aviation history book Hermes published in 2014 in partnership with ICAO, ACI, CANSO & IATA. I would like to express my appreciation to Professor Martin Dresner, Chair of the Hermes Report Committee, for his important role in editing the contents of the book. I would also like to thank Hermes members and partners who have helped to make Hermes a key organisa- tion in the air transport field.
