  • THE AIRCRAFT and the MAN Squadron-Leader H. J. L. Hinkler, D.S.M., A.F.C
    577 THE AIRCRAFT AND THE MAN Squadron-Leader H. J. L. Hinkler, D.S.M., A.F.C. The following description of the career of Squadron- Leader Bert Hinkler, a famous Queensland aviator and pioneer airman, has been received from Mr. A. Bartholomai, Director of the Queensland Museum. It is one of a series of History and Technology leaflets issued by the Museum. There are four aircraft associated with the name of Bert Hinkler. Of these the best-known is the Avro Avian pre­ served in the Queensland Museum. This is the single-engined biplane used by Hinkler on his pioneering solo flight from England to AustraUa in 1928. He had flown the same air­ craft the year before from London to Riga in Latvia. When Hinkler returned to England from Australia in 1928, he donated the Avro Avian to the Queensland Govemment. This action ensured its preservation. The Avian was designed and manufactured by A. V. Roe & Co., in 1926, at their works in Hamble, Southampton, England. The motor is a 76 h.p. Cirrus II. This combina­ tion of "Avian" aircraft and "Cirrus" motor gave rise to the name which appears on the fuselage near the cockpit—the Avian Cirrus. The length of the Avian Cirrus is 24 feet lOi inches, and the maximum span of the wings in flying position 30 feet. Hinged wings which fold back to the side of the aircraft faciUtate handling on the ground. As the wings fold, the undercarriage adjusts automatically to the new centre of gravity. These twin features are Hinkler's own invention, and testify to his ability as a designer.

  • Police Aviation News
    Police Aviation—History INTRODUCTION As far as I am aware, this history of the varied methods by which the law enforcement forces of the world arrived in a position whereby, by the late 1990s, most of them have been able to under- take air patrols is the first attempted. The content is exhaustive as possible in the face of a de- gree of secrecy and a certain lack of inertia. The meaning of the word “police” is, I recall from my training days over thirty years ago, the means by which governments endeavor to keep the peace. Although still valid in many parts of the world, this statement to fledgling British police was probably never intended to encompass the sheer diversity of modern law enforcement. Written in the days of Victoria, it was inward look- ing and took no account of the extensive para-military activity that now typifies policing across the world. For this reason the researching and compilation of this book has been complicated by the requirement to make arbitrary decisions about just which law enforcement bodies to include in the survey. Instances of this can be clearly seen from the coverage of the United States of America [USA], the country where the ground swell of law enforcement aviation was, and is, most clearly to be seen. In the USA there are thousands of law enforcement units across the length and breadth of this massive country, some use aircraft. In addition to the hundreds of police, marshall and sheriff units, each thrusting forward, individually and mutually, in the battle against law breakers, there are the large Federal organizations, most of which give the impression of having other, more pressing, duties to perform than law enforcement.

  • Techtalk: Moth Handout-1
    BRINGING BRITISH COLUMBIA’S AVIATION PAST INTO THE FUTURE CCAANNAADDIIAANN MMUUSSEEUUMM OOFF FFLLIIGGHHTT TTEECCHHTTAALLKK:: DDHH TTIIGGEERR MMOOTTHH The Canadian Museum of Flight is presenting a series of informal technical talks on aircraft in its fleet. These talks will cover topics ranging from the history of the com - pany; the history of the aircraft type; its development; production methods and places; the history of the engine and its development. Also covered will be the challenges in maintaining and flying these classic aircraft in today’s environment; how the mechanics find the parts and how the pilots keep current on flying a 70 year old flying machine designed before the dawn of the jet age. This will be followed by details of how the aircraft is prepared for flight; how the engine is started; followed by an engine start and flight. During the procedings a draw will be conducted entitling the lucky winner to a flight in the aircraft being discussed (some conditions apply). 2 The History of the de Havilland Moth family By 1931 the basic wooden DH60 Moth had evolved into an aircraft with a welded steel tube fuselage and 120hp engine, a combination more than capable of satisfying a growing requirement for initial training aircraft with added ca - pacity for actual or pseudo military aggression. Bearing this in mind the de Havilland Aircraft Company decided there was still potential development to be wrung out of their current airframe and even more from the engine. On 10 July 1931, an aircraft identified as a ‘DH Training Moth T1’ fitted with a Gipsy ll engine, was weighed at the de Havilland factory at Stag Lane.
