  • “I Have the Fokker in Sight!”
    “I have the Fokker in sight!” After some delays caused by tropical cyclone “Gita” the first of our two Fokker F27 Friendship aircraft arrived from New Zealand on Monday 27 February. Now registered VH-EWH, the Friendship departed Auckland on Sunday 26 February, stopping to refuel at Norfolk Island before proceeding to Coolangatta to clear customs. The intention was to proceed to Wollongong that same day, but bad weather in the Illawarra dictated an overnight stay at Coolangatta. The second aircraft will be ferried sometime in the next few months. In Australian service the Fokker F27 Friendship was operated from the late 1950’s by many of the domestic and regional airlines. Some of the Australian airlines which operated the type include Trans Australia Airlines, Ansett ANA, East West, Queensland Airlines, Bill Peach’s Aircruising Australia and Airlines of NSW. The type was also operated by the Department of Civil Aviation and CSIRO. The Fokker F27 was developed during the early 1950’s and was intended to compete with or replace piston engine aircraft such as the DC-3. It uses Rolls Royce Dart turboprop engines, is pressurised and, in typical configuration seats around 50 passengers. Our F27s were most recently in service with a company that provided services to New Zealand Post and our Kiwi readers would be well familiar with the sight and unique sounds of the F27s as they made their way around the mail runs. Convair CV-440 progress The return to flight project for our Convair CV-440 made significant progress this month with completion of the new engine installation.

  • THE IMPACT of TECHNOLOGY and COMMAND on No 1 SQUADRON
    THE IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY AND COMMAND ON No 1 SQUADRON OPERATIONS 1916-1958 by Mark Lax A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Arts at Honours Level at the University College of the University of New South Wales, 1995 ii CERTIFICATION I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, it contains no material previously published or written by another person, nor material which to a substantial extent has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma of a university or other institute of higher learning, except where due acknowledgment is made in the text of the thesis. M.R. LAX October 1995 NOTICE TO READERS OF THE ELECTRONIC VERSION OF THIS THESIS Due to the age and old format of the original thesis computer files (1993-1995), some formatting errors have occurred during transfer to PDF format. These are minor such as a full line separator between text and footnotes on many occasions. This file is therefore as close to the original as was possible and I certify that no text errors have occurred.
