Most of the b/w picures in some way originate from the FLV historical archives, some were originally discovered there by me, whereas others have surfaced later.

    Ilmavoimat t Ilmavoimien lentokonetyyppejä talvi-, jatko- ja Lapin sodassa Gloster Gamecock II Gloster Gamecock II oli brittiläinen yksipaikkainen hävittäjä. Vuonna 1927 hankittiin ilmavoimille malliksi yksi kone, jota seurasi keväällä 1928 vielä toinen sekä valmistuslisenssi 15 koneelle. Hankinta oli erittäin onnistunut, ja se loi pohjaa suomalaiselle hävittäjätoiminnalle Gourdou-Leseurren ja Martinsyden saappaanjäljissä. "Kukko" oli ensimmäinen Suomessa sarjana valmistettu hävittäjä. Tyyppiä oli ilmavoimilla käytössä 17 konetta vuosina 1927–1944. Kärkiväli: 9,15 m Pituus: 6,5 m Lentopaino: 1 317 kg ja Suurin nopeus: 230 km/h 1 Ilmavoimat t Fokker C.V E ja D Fokker C.V oli alankomaalainen kaksipaikkainen tiedustelukone. Vuonna 1927 ilmavoimille hankittiin yksi D-tyypin kone vertailuja varten. Vuonna 1935 maahan saapui 13 ostettua Fokker C.V E -konetta. Talvisodassa koneita käytettiin tiedusteluun ja häirintäpommituksiin lähinnä öisin. Ruotsi lahjoitti kolme CV. E - konetta, ja Norjasta loikkasi saksalaismiehitystä karkuun kaksi C.V D:tä. Sodan alkaessa jo täysin vanhentuneen tyypin käyttö loppui vuonna 1945. Kaikkiaan Ilmavoimissa oli kirjoilla 19 konetta vuosina 1927–1945.

Yksityishenkilöiden suunnittelema ja vuonna 1928 valmistunut Sääski myytiin ilmavoimille samana vuonna. Vuodesta 1930 lähtien Sääskiä valmistui lentokonetehtaalla

    Branch 519 Rushden & District www.facebook.com/rafarushden www.rafa.org.uk/rushden Newsletter June 2020 Dear Members and Friends, By the time you read this letter, we will have completed almost ten weeks of lockdown, albeit with some conditions relaxed. Nevertheless, I trust that you have survived so far unscathed. Don’t forget if you do need anything, we are here to help. We have a band of volunteers, as yet unused, ready to help if required. From what I gather though, it seems most of us are calling on relations, neighbours, or close friends to help. I think most of us are from the what I call the resourceful generation. However, all the advice you need, Richard has detailed below. There is very little to report since at the moment the branch is so inactive in terms of meetings and events. We do hope to get going again with our Higham Market event at the end of August, but we will keep our fingers crossed. In the meantime, sit back and relax and have a good read of the interesting articles Richard has put together for your edification. Hope to see you all soon, don’t know where, don’t know when, but I know we’ll meet again some sunny day! Kind Regards Bernard Lines Branch Chairman COVID-19 I appreciate, that many will be fed-up with the constant reminders around Coronavirus but unfortunately, there are those who still ignore the advice, even heads of state, but it is important for 1 us all to use common sense.
