NEWSLETTER 53 - Spring 2019 Published by the Hawker Association www.hawkerassociation.org.uk EDITORIAL Getting this Newsletter out has been a bit of a struggle as after over 10 years of excellent service my Dell Vostro 200 computer failed. Even our computer wizard, Richard Cannon, couldn’t find the cause of the problem but he did manage to get it working well enough for word processing in ‘Safe Mode’, allowing me to start NL.53, and then set up my replacement computer. Thank you, Richard, very much. With this Newsletter comes the AGM notice and Membership Renewal form. Please note that the subscription is now £7 as announced at last year’s AGM. This is the first increase since we launched the Association 17 years ago. Please pay while it is fresh in your mind; and if you missed last year’s add a fiver for that at the same time (see back page). The articles by Members in this edition are some of the last I had in stock (don’t worry if yours hasn’t featured yet, it will) so please put fingers to keyboard or pens to paper and record you memories of life at Hawker or in aviation - or any in other field or topic of yours you think will interest HA Members.

CHRISTMAS LUNCH Ken Batstone who so ably organised the event reports… On Wednesday, 12th December, the 16th annual Association Christmas Lunch was held in the YMCA Hawker Centre, Richmond Road, Kingston (the usual venue). The weather was dry, mild and partly sunny. This was the fourth year running that the weather had been kind to us. Members and guests started arriving from midday for wine and socialising before the meal, which was served just after 1pm, following grace and a prayer, given by the Reverend Vernon Lidstone. Forty eight people attended the lunch, which was three more than last year, indicating the continuing enjoyment of this event. The menu was the same as last year, namely prawn cocktail followed by traditional roast turkey with trimmings, and gateaux or panacotta. Each course did have an alternative choice, but there was little demand for these. After the meal, Chris Roberts, our Chairman, delivered a short speech, which contained some very amusing, original and apt jokes (don't mention Brexit!). He also talked about the late and much lamented John Farley and his Commemoration held at Brooklands. 1 Chris Roberts was followed by our new President who talked about his times spent at Kingston, Dunsfold, St Louis and Japan. He had a wealth of stories and anecdotes from these periods. At the end of the afternoon, many members remarked on the high quality of the meal and the size of the portions! Once again the staff of the YMCA Hawker Centre had provided us with an excellent meal and a most enjoyable afternoon. The Committee has written to the YMCA Catering Manager to express its thanks and appreciation of the efforts of the catering staff in providing such an enjoyable event, and has given a suitable gratuity. HAWK Mk50, G-HAWK/ZA101 The Company and suppliers funded Hawk demonstrator has been kindly donated to the Brooklands Museum by BAE Systems after it was replaced in the Company training school by a Hawk Mk 53. Prior to that G-HAWK had been used by BAe and BAE Systems for several airframe and systems development and demonstration tasks. In its prime it flew from Dunsfold developing Hawk capabilities and spearheading the Hawk marketing effort with demonstrations and world-wide sales tours. It played a key part in the T-45 Goshawk campaign in the USA. The airframe, consisting of the fuselage with fin and rudder, the wing without flaps or ailerons, and the tailplane, was delivered to Brooklands in late February. A cursory look reveals that other items missing are the engine, pitot boom, some small fuselage panels, the fillet below the rudder and a number of cockpit and seat items and components. The long dummy 100 Series nose is fitted but with a conical nose cone. The wing appears to be an early standard export type with curved ‘streamwise’ tips. The paint finish is in dark blue BAE Systems livery. For many years Duncan Simpson campaigned for British Aerospace to give the aircraft to Brooklands when it was retired. He would be very happy to know that G-HAWK now has a permanent home. After restoration it would be nice to see it displayed alongside the other Kingston/Dunsfold demonstrator, Harrier Mk52, G-VTOL/ZA250. Postscript . Some readers may wonder why these demonstrator aircraft have both civil registrations (G-…) and UK military serials (ZA…). The original civil registrations allowed the aircraft to fly unarmed ferry and demonstration flights world-wide. The military serials were allocated so that the aircraft could carry out development and other flying associated with military programmes and when carrying dummy or live armament. HUNTER T7 XL623 HERITAGE PROJECT Chris Roberts reports progress on the restoration XL623.… The weather was kind to us in 2018; XL 623 is stored in the open at Dunsfold so progress could have been badly affected. Although it was cold, the lack of rain or snow allowed Paul Rash and the team to prepare the first parts for transfer to the workshop at Brooklands. It is always risky not naming everyone who has helped, but we must thank Dave Cotton and Dave Collingridge for their expertise and time. The project plan required the first components to be ready for moving by the end of 2018. The tail cone, fin, rudder and elevators were moved there in December and are now being worked on so it is great to be on target. The Brooklands workshop is not hangar size so is unable to take very large components or complete aircraft. The rear fuselage will be the first major section to go there because it has the worst corrosion and is the biggest restoration challenge. It is planned to have it at Brooklands in February. We have had help from contacts and supporters in the form of free use of a crane and forklift to move the fuselage sections and to lift off the 12 ft. span tailplane; it does not look that big when fixed to the base of the fin! These jobs need to be handled resourcefully so that our funds are not depleted quickly on things like hire charges. Brooklands has loaned the project ground support equipment to hold the pieces and transport them to the museum. The Hawker Association is managing the Hunter as two separate projects. The preservation of the airframe is the prime project, the aim being to preserve XL623 for long term public display. The secondary project is to position the aircraft in a prominent public location (ideally in Kingston) with assured long term stewardship. Through the efforts of the Hawker Association and the Centenary Project there is an ever increasing number of people made aware of, and proud of, the achievements of everyone who worked in the local aviation industry and of the aircraft designed and built in Kingston. The preservation of XL623 is within our capability with involvement and support from Brooklands. The cost, only a few thousand pounds, should be primarily for materials. Contributions from Association members have now reached almost £2000 and we believe that the first aim can be achieved by the end of next year. The second aim, to place the aircraft, is the difficult and expensive part. We cannot achieve this without support from other agencies and a lot of funding. We need a site, and if the aircraft is to be mounted back on the ‘Woking pole’ and installed at the site we must raise £30,000 to £50,000. Such a task needs to be managed well by a good team so we are seeking more help. This level of fund raising will need a different approach to that for the aircraft itself, and it seems that one potential source (other than finding a lucky Lotto winner) will be the Kingston business community.

    The Bloodhound Guided Missile and the Hawker Harrier “Jump Jet”

    Draft for joint Herbert Simon Institute/Manchester Institute of Innovation Research Seminar, 1st April 2011 Practice in Communities: how engineers create solutions ‐ the Bloodhound Guided Missile and the Hawker Harrier “jump jet”. Jonathan Aylen* and Mike Pryce* Manchester Institute of Innovation Research Manchester Business School University of Manchester “Every aeroplane is different ‐ a self‐optimising shambles” Ralph Hooper, Harrier project designer Aerospace engineers face the task of developing a project from overall design concept through to working prototype and on into sustained use. Engineers often work in small groups when developing an initial concept. Once the basic concept has been agreed they may work in similarly small groups, or as part of larger teams to develop key components of a system. At this stage key design tasks are defined and delegated and then the resulting components are tested and integrated to build a prototype (Vincenti, 1990). Individual sub‐assemblies are usually developed in parallel. So, aeronautical engineering is often seen as a cyclical process of analysis and synthesis, although in practice it is seldom so neat and linear, as the opening quote from a leading practitioner, Ralph Hooper, illustrates. The nature of engineering design is complex, with designers having to cope with many systems and components interacting in dynamic ways. The breadth and depth of knowledge required means no one person can carry out all the tasks of engineering design. Group or team working is essential. Engineering design is an innately social activity. However, mastering the specific skills of any one discipline, and also learning how to utilise the knowledge gained within the group or team, often depends on the abilities of key individuals.

  • Sopwith and Hawker at the Ham Factory, North Kingston

    SOPWITH AND HAWKER AT THE HAM FACTORY, NORTH KINGSTON The National Aircraft Factory No.2 was built through the winter of 1917 by the Ministry of Munitions and leased by Sopwith Aviation to more than double their production capacity The factory which stood near Ham Common on the road between Kingston and Richmond was built in 26 weeks. It was one of four huge factories in a scheme where contractors would make aircraft under licence but Sopwith leased this one to build their own products. From April 1918 hundreds of Sopwith fighter aircraft were being built at Ham Sopwith Snipes, Dolphins and Salamanders were built in large numbers but, when the war ended a year earlier than predicted, many orders were cancelled leaving huge stocks of unwanted components. Sopwith’s offer to buy the factory was refused by the Government and it was sold for £227,000 to Leyland Motors In 1948 Leyland Motors sold the Ham factory to Hawker Aircraft Ltd who needed a large factory in which to build their new jet aircraft designs By the late 1940s the Canbury Park Road Kingston Factory was unsuitable for modern aircraft design and construction and Hawker Aircraft’s Langley satellite factory was too close to the new Heathrow airport. The Company considered moving completely to a large factory in Blackpool before approaching Leyland Motors to buy the Ham Factory occupied by Sopwith Aviation 30 years earlier. The price was agreed at £585,000. Through the 1950s Hawker Hunters were in “Super Priority” production at Ham for the Royal Air Force and other NATO forces With the Cold War at its height the Government and NATO gave “Super Priority” status to Hunter production at the Ham factory and also at Hawker’s satellite factory at Blackpool and Armstrong Whitworth’s at Bagginton, Coventry.

The aircraft, a Meteor (G-LOSM), Vampire (G-HELV), Hawker Hunter T7 (G-VETA) and a single seat Hawker Hunter F4 (G-HHUN) had planned to transit in formation. However before departure G-HHUN had experienced a problem with an exhaust gas temperature (EGT) gauge and so the other three aircraft departed initially and G-HHUN followed some 20 minutes later, taking off at 1141 hrs. After landing, G-HHUN was refueled with 730 litres of AVTUR for its forthcoming practice display at Biggin Hill. The pilots of the Vampire and Meteor left their aircraft at Dunsfold and returned to Bournemouth as passengers in a light aircraft.

    A Harrier GR.9, ZD 406, Royal Navy Naval Strike Wing, RAF Station Cottesmore, 2009

    Harrier GR.7/9 BRITISH FIGHTER 1/48 SCALE PLASTIC KIT #1166 INTRO The development of precision-attack missiles with a nuclear warhead during the 1950s changed strategic military doctrine dramatically. It became obvious that large military air bases would become easy targets that could be wiped out by a single, precise strike. This prompted French aircraft designer Michel Wibault to wonder, in 1955, if NATO might not be making a mistake by constructing some 100 new 'field' bases called Basic Operational Platforms (BOP) alongside the border of the Eastern Block. Instead, Whibault proposed the development of an aircraft with VTOL (Vertical Take-off and Landing) capability, eliminating the need for the proposed air bases. First drawings The VTOL (Vertical Take off and Landing) concept is not a new idea. Several VTOL aircraft were proposed during World War II, but it was the dawn of the jet era that brought new possibilities, first tested with Rolls-Royces´ Bedstead flying device. A real aircraft followed in the form of the Short SC.1 prototype, using four RB.108 turbojets pointing downward with a fifth pointing to the rear for forward propulsion, but it was quite obvious such a layout was ineffective. Instead, Wibault proposed a single powerful gas turbine, driving four high-capacity movable blowers via shafts. There was not too much interest at Dassault, but it attracted the attention of USAF colonel Johnny Driscoll, who was then commander of the Paris based MWDP (Mutual Weapons Development Program). He presented Wibaults´ plans to Theodore von Karman and the famous engineer and physicist was impressed.
