Issue 432 April/May 2020 NUMBER APRIL / MAY 432 ! 2020 2210 (Cowley) SQN AIR CADET NEWS: The start of 2020 has seen cadets and staff from 2210 (Cowley) Sqn involved in a number of exciting activities! They attended Thames Valley Wing’s first Multi-Activity Course: it was accommodated on HMS Bristol, a Type 82 destroyer which saw action in the Falklands, and is berthed in Portsmouth. Cadets could choose from courses in leadership, first aid, radio communications, instructional techniques or weapon handling. Cadets from 2210 (Cowley) Sqn also joined others from across Oxfordshire & Berkshire to practise their marksmanship skills by firing the L144A1 target rifle: they were trained to use the weapon safely, then coached during firing to ensure they could accurately & consistently hit a target 25 metres away. Finally 2210 (Cowley) Sqn undertook a 12 Km walk in the countryside to put into practice map reading and navigation skills learnt on normal parade nights. Cadets took it in turn to lead the group, and decide on the route & direction. If you are aged 12 (& in Yr 8) to 19 and interested in joining as a cadet or as a member of staff, please feel free to attend (Mondays & Wednesdays 7.15-9.30 pm, Sandy Lane West) or contact Fg Off O'Riordan on [email protected].

  • Falklands Royal Navy Wives: Fulfilling a Militarised Stereotype Or Articulating Individuality?
    Falklands Royal Navy Wives: fulfilling a militarised stereotype or articulating individuality? Victoria Mary Woodman The thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Portsmouth. December 2018 Abstract ‘Falklands Royal Navy Wives: fulfilling a militarised stereotype or articulating individuality?’ Key words: Falklands War/1980s/naval wives/oral history/remembrance/commemoration/gendered conflict/media/naval welfare/PTSD This thesis demonstrates that Falklands naval wives were not the homogeneous and stereotypical group portrayed in the media, but individuals experiencing specific effects of conflict on combatants, wives and families. It contributes originally to oral history by exploring retrospective memories of Falkland’s naval wives and their value to wider history. Falklands naval wives as individuals had not been researched before. The conflict was fought in the media using gendered and paternalistic language and images, a binary of man fighting versus woman serving the home front. The aim is to widen the scope of the gender, social, naval and cultural history of the Falklands Conflict by recording naval wives’ views before they were lost, thereby offering new insight into the history of the Falklands Conflict. Original research described in this thesis addresses several important research questions: 1. If a group of naval wives underwent the same events, would their views/thoughts/ experiences be comparable? 2. Was the image depicted in existing literature the only view? 3. Did the naval community differ from the rest of society; how were its gender roles defined? 4. Did the wives’ thoughts and feelings differ from those reported in the press? 5.

  • Introductions to Heritage Assets: Ships and Boats: 1840 to 1950
    Ships and Boats: 1840-1950 Introductions to Heritage Assets Summary Historic England’s Introductions to Heritage Assets (IHAs) are accessible, authoritative, illustrated summaries of what we know about specific types of archaeological site, building, landscape or marine asset. Typically they deal with subjects which lack such a summary. This can either be where the literature is dauntingly voluminous, or alternatively where little has been written. Most often it is the latter, and many IHAs bring understanding of site or building types which are neglected or little understood. Many of these are what might be thought of as ‘new heritage’, that is they date from after the Second World War. This overview looks at ships and boats built after 1840. Principally drawing on archaeological, technological and historical sources, it describes vessels used on English inland and coastal waters and in the open sea. The evidence of wrecks and abandoned vessels is drawn on, as well as extant vessels. Also included is the early development of submarines. This guidance note has been written by Mark Dunkley and edited by Paul Stamper. It is one is of several guidance documents that can be accessed at HistoricEngland.org.uk/listing/selection-criteria/listing-selection/ihas-buildings/ First published by English Heritage September 2012.
