Leonardo Morlino. Prof Morlino’s classes in Lucca were among the most inspiring I have ever attended (and I attended over the years a terrible lot) and I will remain always grateful for his kind supervision over my first and later steps in the research project on party funding. Second, my gratitude also belongs my tutor, Prof Stefano Gattei, and to other teachers at IMT Lucca who in 2010 and 2011 instructed me on various subjects, from mathematics, statistics, game theory, through constitutional law, political philosophy and the philosophy of science to party studies, study of democratisation and political history. The teachers‘ approach was always professional and demanding, but they all, without exception, showed a great understanding of students‘ wishes and needs. Third, I am thankful to the two reviewers of this thesis, Prof Alenka Krašovec from the University of Ljubljana and Dr Michael Smith from CERGE-EI Prague, who kindly agreed to read this work and comment on it. I hope they did not later regret their decision. Last but not least, my thanks go to the administrative staff of IMT Lucca, from the members of the PhD office, through Facilities and the Directorate, to the IMT Library. The compassion shown by teachers and professors at the school was matched only by the compassion shown by its non-faculty employees. Without their help and aid in times of real need, I would finish neither my study period at IMT, nor my thesis, and they fully share in the good that my research project should bring to this world. All the bad is solely my responsibility. 6 Vita and publications Vit Simral b. 1986, Roudnice nad Labem, Czech Republic Education Mgr., Historical Sociology (January 2013) Faculty of Humanities, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic Thesis: The Modernity Cleavage: Party Politics in Inter-Civilisational Encounters Bachelor of Laws, LL.

  • The History of Lasham Airfield
    GLIDING HERITAGE CENTRE A HISTORY OF LASHAM AIRFIELD Author Glyn Bradney Description Lasham airfield in WW2 and how it became a major gliding centre Date 28th April 2015, version 1.) INTRODUCTION The articles I’ve written for the Gliding Heritage Centre website to-date have been intended to fulfil the educational remit that the GHC has through being a registered charity. Given that the GHC is based at Lasham, which is one of the very largest gliding organisations in the world, it seems appropriate that I should write something on the history of Lasham itself. However, I’m not going to go into huge detail in covering every single one of the airfield’s many facets, there are other sources which I will reference should the reader really wish to “dig deep” into its evolution and past in particular areas. ("Lasham Airfield" by fr:Utilisateur:Steff - Personal picture ex Wikipedia, taken during a London Stansted-Dinard flight, May 2006, looking SE. Lasham village is at “3 o’clock”, the ATC maintenance facility at “5 o’clock”.) Lasham airfield, pronounced as “Lash-am” throughout the gliding world, was built by McAlpines in 1941/1942 using Irish labourers and Italian prisoners of war. The usual airfield naming convention was used, namely that of the nearest significant habitation, in this case Lasham village. The history of Lasham village itself goes back a long way. It’s recorded in the Doomsday All rights Reserved | The Gliding Heritage Centre, Lasham Airfield, Alton, Hampshire, GU34 5SS| GLIDING HERITAGE CENTRE book of 1086 as being of “2 ½ hides”, at that time called “”Esseham”.
