This study has been initl;ltcd by the Third Air Force Historical Division to meet a continuin~ need for accurate information on the location of these bases and the units which they served. During the pas t several years, requests for such information from authors, news media (press and TV), and private individuals has increased. A second study coverin~ t~e bases and units in the United Kingdom from 1948 to the present is programmed. Sources for this compilation included the records on file in the Third Air Force historical archives: Maurer, Maurer, Combat Units of World War II, United States Government Printing Office, 1960 (which also has a brief history of each unit listed); and a British map, "Security Released Airfields 1n the United Kingdom, December 1944" showing the locations of Royal Air Force airfields as of December 1944. -
The Cold War and Beyond
Contents Puge FOREWORD ...................... u 1947-56 ......................... 1 1957-66 ........................ 19 1967-76 ........................ 45 1977-86 ........................ 81 1987-97 ........................ 117 iii Foreword This chronology commemorates the golden anniversary of the establishment of the United States Air Force (USAF) as an independent service. Dedicated to the men and women of the USAF past, present, and future, it records significant events and achievements from 18 September 1947 through 9 April 1997. Since its establishment, the USAF has played a significant role in the events that have shaped modem history. Initially, the reassuring drone of USAF transports announced the aerial lifeline that broke the Berlin blockade, the Cold War’s first test of wills. In the tense decades that followed, the USAF deployed a strategic force of nuclear- capable intercontinental bombers and missiles that deterred open armed conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. During the Cold War’s deadly flash points, USAF jets roared through the skies of Korea and Southeast Asia, wresting air superiority from their communist opponents and bringing air power to the support of friendly ground forces. In the great global competition for the hearts and minds of the Third World, hundreds of USAF humanitarian missions relieved victims of war, famine, and natural disaster. The Air Force performed similar disaster relief services on the home front. Over Grenada, Panama, and Libya, the USAF participated in key contingency actions that presaged post-Cold War operations. In the aftermath of the Cold War the USAF became deeply involved in constructing a new world order. As the Soviet Union disintegrated, USAF flights succored the populations of the newly independent states. -
University of Sheffield Radar Archive
University of Sheffield Radar Archive Ref: MS 260 Title: University of Sheffield Radar Archive: a collection initiated by Donald H. Tomlin, graduate of the University of Sheffield 1940 Scope: Documents, books and offprints on the history of the development of Radar from 1921 Dates: 1921-2005 Level: Fonds Extent: 46 boxes; 73 volumes; 113 binders Name of creator: Donald Hugh Tomlin; John Beattie Administrative / biographical history: In February 2001 Donald Tomlin presented his collection of documents, including some which he had himself written, relating to the early development of Radar and his own work within the field, to the University Library, a donation which complemented his earlier presentation of books and offprints when he stated: "The collection of books and papers is being presented to Sheffield University in grateful thanks to the University for the training I received in the Science Faculty in the years 1937 to 1940 and which led to a lifelong career working in Radar and Electronics... The books...represent... a cross section of those books available to workers in the new subject of RDF, later to be renamed by our American colleagues RADAR in 1943. The subject of Radar was entirely new as far as practice was concerned, in 1936, and therefore no information was available on the subject. One had to fall back on books on radio, telephony and electromagnetic waves". The documents in this later collection include original papers, copies of significant documents on the history of the development of radar both published and unpublished, some photographs and Tomlin's own memoirs. Donald Hugh Tomlin (1918-2013) was born in Sheffield and educated at the Central Secondary School for Boys. -
What Happened in 1962
WHAT HAPPENED IN 1962 DE HAVILLANDS left in September, and in their wake came a stream of problems. As in the previous year, these problems occupied many of the big headlines in 1962, even before the firm left The most hopeful of all the suspected take-overs of the factory was that by the Beagle Aircraft Company in the early months; the most useful was the Council's offer to operate the 400,000 square feet of factory space as a trading estate if no one else would have it. But the worst problem of all—2,000 redundant personnel, many of them skilled operatives—was no more solved by the close of the year than the unemployment level remaining below three per cent. glosses over. Some of the men took jobs in Holland; some went to other parts of the country; but many remained under-employed in the area. The coming year promises the results of the many steps taken in 1962 in the industrial field. The planning authority must give some final decision on Brush Crystal's application for a Somerford Road factory site. The Minister of Housing and Local Government's decision on the Town Map inquiry is also due. Not without misgivings will the householders of Christchurch await the local budget in March, for at the end of December came the new rating valuations which had worried everyone for almost the whole year. This had alone managed to unite the local ratepayer associations, but their Liaison Committee produced no result of its deliberations about rates. Perhaps the New Year will see something of this. -

November 2019... 2 INDEX Part 1 Introduction & Prewar 1926-1939 .....1 The War Years .....16 Civil Flying post-war....35 The Gliding School.....49 De Havilland’s Fire Service.....66 Closure.....93 The Airlines and Christchurch.....101 Introduction. Christchurch aerodrome was part of my life right from the day I was born in 1942 in a house only 400 yards from the western airfield boundary. Although my family left Christchurch from time to time we always came back and, in the 50s, when I first became interested in aircraft, I spent a lot of time at the airfield watching the aircraft. The sight of Ambassadors, and later the Sea Vixens, taking off and passing what seemed like only a few feet above the roof of the house was quite spectacular. Later, I spent a decade working at SRDE on the eastern end of the field and was working there when the airfield finally closed. The death struggle was prolonged, with Tom Marshall still operating out of the Flying Club area as late as 1970, even after housing had started to encroach on the field. My final involvement with the airfield came in 1995 when my wife and I moved into a house built on the airfield - roughly halfway along the hard runway! So, I felt that the history of this little aerodrome should be told, from it's earliest beginnings, through it's time as the original Bournemouth Airport - the war years - and it's subsequent gradual decline, inevitable perhaps, once Hurn blossomed in the 40s and 50s. -

Sediment Geochemistry –
SEDIMENT GEOCHEMISTRY – A CASE STUDY APPROACH Ralf Hübner August 2009 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Bournemouth University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Bournemouth University, School of Conservation Sciences Talbot Campus, Fern Barrow, Poole, Dorset, BH12 5BB, United Kingdom Ralf Hübner This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and due acknowledgement must always be made of the use of any material contained in, or derived from, this thesis. - 2 - Ralf Hübner, 2009: Sediment Geochemistry – A Case Study Approach Abstract Abstract The geochemistry of sediments is a very wide field and several important aspects must be taken into account, including, but not limited to, various methodological questions, the analysis of distribution patterns, determination of origins and the assessment of risks. Therefore, this research project adapted a case study approach and analysed several important aspects of contamination in sediments at a time. In case study 1, the distribution of metals in the sediments was analysed in Bigge and Olpe, two small and fast running watercourses in Germany. The metal/ metalloid concentrations showed very different distribution patterns. Mobile elements like zinc showed a very homogenous and predictable pattern, while elements with low mobility stick to the sediment and do not migrate much, leading to areas with different concentrations. In addition, it was found that the local monitoring tools in force, which are largely based on analyses of the water, are not sufficient for a reliable assessment of the environmental quality. -
