EARLY BIRDS OVER YORKSHIRE © by Hilary Dyson
From Oak Leaves, Part 3, Summer 2002 - published by Oakwood and District Historical Society [ODHS] EARLY BIRDS OVER YORKSHIRE © By Hilary Dyson 'Entrance to Olympia Works in 1915' Very soon, in 2003, we will be celebrating 100 years of powered flight and many memories of previous flyers and their bravery in taking off into space will be recalled. The story of flying in Yorkshire might be said to have started back in the 18th century. A certain gentleman called George Cayley who lived near Scarborough took an interest in many things one of which was flying. Cayley (1773-1857) had a technical education in London and on his return to his Brompton home he set up a workshop in which he eventually produced a 5ft glider in 1804. He then spent some five years developing a prototype manual glider with 200 sq ft of wingspan. But it was to be many years later that he felt ready to test it out. The test flight didn't take place till 1848. Even then he did not risk his own life he persuaded a young boy, his name was not recorded, who was launched into the air in a series of hops over a few yards. Cayley was to be 80 years old when he tried again with the help this time of his coachman. The coachman called John Appleby was not keen to change his occupation. But Cayley was elated however when a very short flight of about 500 yards was achieved. The coachman, no doubt worried that he might be asked for a repeat performance, gave in his notice, saying that he had been hired to drive a coach not to be catapulted into the air. -

Canadian Airmen Lost in Wwii by Date 1943
CANADA'S AIR WAR 1945 updated 21/04/08 January 1945 424 Sqn. and 433 Sqn. begin to re-equip with Lancaster B.I & B.III aircraft (RCAF Sqns.). 443 Sqn. begins to re-equip with Spitfire XIV and XIVe aircraft (RCAF Sqns.). Helicopter Training School established in England on Sikorsky Hoverfly I helicopters. One of these aircraft is transferred to the RCAF. An additional 16 PLUTO fuel pipelines are laid under the English Channel to points in France (Oxford). Japanese airstrip at Sandakan, Borneo, is put out of action by Allied bombing. Built with forced labour by some 3,600 Indonesian civilians and 2,400 Australian and British PoWs captured at Singapore (of which only some 1,900 were still alive at this time). It is decided to abandon the airfield. Between January and March the prisoners are force marched in groups to a new location 160 miles away, but most cannot complete the journey due to disease and malnutrition, and are killed by their guards. Only 6 Australian servicemen are found alive from this group at the end of the war, having escaped from the column, and only 3 of these survived to testify against their guards. All the remaining enlisted RAF prisoners of 205 Sqn., captured at Singapore and Indonesia, died in these death marches (Jardine, wikipedia). On the Russian front Soviet and Allied air forces (French, Czechoslovakian, Polish, etc, units flying under Soviet command) on their front with Germany total over 16,000 fighters, bombers, dive bombers and ground attack aircraft (Passingham & Klepacki). During January #2 Flying Instructor School, Pearce, Alberta, closes (http://www.bombercrew.com/BCATP.htm). -

The Aerocomp News Volume 4 Issue 1 Spring/Summer 2000 Two Customers Finish New Comp Air 7’s CA 10XL on Floats Yahoo! - Finished. Finito. Done. Success. Mission Accomplished! here’s really nothing quite like the feeling of those first flights in your brand new, Tpersonally assembled, custom-built, airplane. Several Aerocomp customers have enjoyed that unique thrill recently. We’d like to introduce two that completed and flew their new Comp Air 7 turboprop airplanes this spring. Dr. Ray Ireland, Alabama “First Place Finish” goes to the first customer to finish and fly a Comp Air 7. This was accomplished by Dr. Ray Ireland, of Alabama. Just about the time the factory began working on the prototype Walter 601-powered Comp Air 7, Dr. Ireland ordered a Comp Air 6 kit, which he originally intended to power with a piston heeee! Splish - splash, we’re engine. Once the factory’s turboprop-powered Comp Air 7 was finished, however, it Wtakin’ a bath. Aerocomp’s new only took Dr. Ireland one flight in the incredible Comp Air 7 to decide that he wanted s-t-r-e-t-c-h version of the Comp Air 10 one for himself. ...continued on page 2 (dubbed the “10XL”) is now on floats, ...and wow, is it fun! This huge floatplane (32 feet 5 inches long; gross weight: 6000 lbs.) carries the largest set of SuperFloats ever built. The Comp Air 10XL, like Aerocomp’s other products, is built from kits sold by the Merritt Island, FL company. The company specializes in manufacturing kits for modern all-composite airplanes. -

Full details of additional Air-Britain books and more detailed descriptions are shown online AUSTER – the Company and the Aircraft Tom Wenham, Rod Simpson & Malcolm Fillmore NEW Auster Aircraft has a long and distinguished history, starting with its formation as British Taylorcraft in 1938 and end - ing with its absorption into Beagle Aircraft in 1960.The Auster was not, strictly, a new design since it had its origins in the American Taylorcraft two seater. However, World War II gave it a welcome momentum which led to more than 1,600 artillery spotter Austers being built for the British and other air forces. The Rearsby factory was at maximum production during the war - but, as with all other aircraft manufacturing plants, it found a sudden collapse in military orders when peace came. However, there were returning flyers keen to keep their skills alive and the Autocrat and its successors were successful, not only in the UK but also across the world. Using the same basic airframe, the Auster constantly changed its shape and the 180hp Husky of 1960 was a very different animal from the original 55hp Taylorcraft Model C. Austers were sold all over the world and were used for many tasks including crop spraying, aerial advertising and joyriding. The company also developed new models including the very successful AOP.9, and the less successful Agricola, Atlantic and Avis.
