There are two key focuses: the jet age (development of the fighter jet) and the impact of the helicopter. Anyone using this information is advised to watch the film Jet Age and Helicopters carefully to understand some of the technical information. EARLY AIRCRAFT The Industrial Revolution introduced huge technological and scientific changes to many people, especially those living in Europe and the Americas. The development of engines and the use of man-made power, such as steam, made a significant difference to industrial output and to travel. One of the earliest types of engine invented was the early piston engine.

  • Records of the British Aviation Industry in the Raf Museum: a Brief Guide
    RECORDS OF THE BRITISH AVIATION INDUSTRY IN THE RAF MUSEUM: A BRIEF GUIDE Contents Introduction 2 Section 1: Background to the collection 2 Arrangement of this Guide 3 Access to the records 3 Glossary of terms 4 The British aircraft industry: an overview 3 Section 2: Company histories and description of records 6 Appendix The British Aircraft Industry: a bibliography 42 1 Introduction The RAF Museum holds what is probably Britain's most comprehensive collection of records relating to companies involved in the manufacture of airframes (i.e. aircraft less their engines) aero-engines, components and associated equipment. The entries in this guide are arranged by company name and include a history of each company, particularly its formation and that of subsidiaries together with mergers and take-overs. Brief details of the records, the relevant accession numbers and any limitations on access are given. Where the records have been listed this is indicated. A glossary of terms specific to the subject area is also included, together with an index. Background to the Collection The Museum's archive department began collecting records in the late 1960s and targeted a number of firms. Although many of the deposits were arranged through formal approaches by the Museum to companies, a significant number were offered by company staff: a significant example is the Supermarine archive (AC 70/4) including some 50,000 drawings, which would have been burnt had an employee not contacted the Museum. The collections seem to offer a bias towards certain types of record, notably drawings and production records, rather than financial records and board minutes.

  • Cargo Aids New Brochure.Indd
    Our Semi-Automatic Cargo Release Unit (SACRU) is designed for aircraft lifting up to 6,000lbs (2,722 Kg) and is extensively used by the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force. The SACRU 1 Mk 2 has EMC protection and has been selected and approved by Agusta Westland for EH101 Navy Merlin MK1. The design is of simple construction involving no delicate mechanisms requiring fine adjustment. Certified by the CAA, variants of this cargo hook are also available as an FAA and Transport Canada approved bolt-on replacement hook for the Bell 204 through 412 series helicopters. The SACRU 1 is now available with load measurement to enable pilots to know the weight of the cargo and therefore monitor the airframe.

Constructor’s number WA581. 6 Sept 1977 First Flight Jan 78 Delivered to RAF Pete Chadwick recalled in 2018; regarding the introduction of Sea King into RAF service; Although XZ 585 is the first in the sequence of RAF Sea Kings, it wasn’t the first one the RAF received. ‘585 was retained at Westlands as a flying test bed for additional equipment which might be installed during the early days. The first one to be delivered to Culdrose, which is where the RAF established the RAF Sea King Training Unit(RAFSKTU) in the first event, was XZ 586. I was the first to fly it on 17th Feb 1978. I was the Training Officer(CFI) of the RAFSKTU and, once the first 4 Flights were converted to type, I took over as OC 202 Squadron.
