  • 303SQN and Camden History Updated
    Our proud history: The Air Training Corps and Australian Air Force Cadets in Camden Originally known as No. 3 Flight, New South Wales Squadron, Air Training Corps, the unit was formed on the 20th June 1946. Established at St. Josephs College in Hunters Hill, it continued there for 20 years, until its re-location to the current site at Camden Airport in 1966. No. 3 Flight AIRTC was renamed 303 Squadron in 2001, following the re-organisation of the newly named Australian Air Force Cadets. We were honoured by Camden Council with Freedom of Entry to Camden on 17th August 2014, with the formal Entry procession down the main street of Camden, with RAAF Hercules flyover, occurring on 6th December 2015, due previous weather washouts. 303 Squadron continues to provide youths from the Macarthur Region with valuable life skills, developing qualities of leadership, self-reliance, confidence, communication and teamwork. 303 Squadron proudly supports our local community and RSL’s through participation in Australia Day parades, ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day services each year. Supporting our commitment to youth development, 303 Squadron has also led in the management of health and safety risks, with our award winning Safety Program receiving recognition from Air Force, Defence and the Commonwealth WHS Regulator (Comcare). Our Safety Program has now been replicated throughout the AAFC. 303 Squadron AAFC has a current strength of 70 Cadets plus uniformed and civilian staff. The RAAF at Camden Airport Originally a race track owned by Arthur Macarthur-Onslow, prior to World War II, Edward Macarthur-Onslow established Australia's first private aerodrome and the Macquarie Grove Flying School on the “Macquarie Grove” property.

  • The Political Decisions and Policy Leading to the Royal Australian Air Force Having No Fighters Or Interceptors for the Coming War Against Japan
    The political decisions and policy leading to the Royal Australian Air Force having no fighters or interceptors for the coming war against Japan James Rorrison BA; Honours Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2015 KEY WORDS Australian aircraft industry; Australia’s Air Defence; Beaufort; Sir Winston Churchill; John Curtin; Billy Hughes; Interwar politics; Joseph Lyons; Sir Robert Menzies; Messerschmitt; Milestones in military aircraft; Mustang; Royal Air Force; Royal Australian Air Force; United States Army Air Corps; War against Japan; Warplanes; Weapons of World War I; Weapons of World War II; Wirraway; World War I; World War II; Zero. i ABSTRACT One of the most dangerous, illusional and deceptive of Australian pre-World War 11 beliefs was that the British represented a powerhouse of military protection against any foreign intimidation. In reality they impersonated a defence system without substance and an actual siphon of Australia’s military resources towards their own ends while offering only a potentially high-risk strategic alliance that helped bring Australia to the brink of disaster. As just one outcome on 18 January 1942, over two months after the Japanese air attack on the American naval base at Pearl Harbor, less than half a squadron of Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Wirraway lightly armed training planes alighted from an airstrip at Rabaul on New Britain ostensibly to intercept a Japanese naval air armada of over one hundred modern military aircraft, the outcome of which was a national tragedy. The Australian-made and manned Wirraways were shot from the sky or crash-landed with the loss of most of their crews.

  • NÁVOD / INSTRUCTION SH48117 CAC-13 Boomerang 1/48
    NÁVOD / INSTRUCTION SH48117 CAC-13 Boomerang 1/48 V roce 1936 byla založena z popudu australské vlády letecká a motorářská firma Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation Pty, Ltd. Jasně vyvstávalo nebezpečí dalšího světového konfliktu a hrozilo, že při odříznutí od zásobovacích tras by nebyl možný dovoz letadel. Samostatnost tak měla zajistit výroba vlastních nebo licenčních letadel. Šéfkonstruktérem se stal L. Wackett. Prvním typem byl na základě licence amerického NA-33 (předchůdce AT-Texanu) vyvinutý cvičný a bitevní A-20 Wirraway. Dalším typem stavěným v sérii byl letoun pro základní výcvik CA-6 Wackett. Když 7.12.1941 vypukla válka v Pacifiku, ocitla se Austrálie v přímém ohrožení, zejména, když prvotní japonské úspěchy byly velmi pronikavé. Z Japonci obsazených ostrovů byl několikrát bombardován sever Austrálie.V únoru 1942 australská vláda zadává firmě CAC urychlený vývoj stíhacího letadla a zároveň objednává výrobu série. Za šestnáct týdnů tým L. Wacketta zkonstruoval na základě Wirrawae stíhací letoun poháněný jediným dostupným motorem, v Austrálii licenčně vyráběným R-1830 a vyzbrojeným dvěma kanony a čtyřmi kulomety. První prototyp zalétaný 29. května 1942 dostal označení CA-12 a jméno Boomerang. Konstrukce byla smíšená. Trup měl trubkovou konstrukci, potah trupu na přídi byl z duralu, za kabinou z překližky. Křídlo mělo duralovou konstrukci i potah. Jen křidélka byla potažena plátnem. Testy ukázaly, že za jinými stíhačkami Boomerang zaostává v rychlosti jak ve vodorovném tak střemhlavém letu, ale překonává je obratností. Sériová výroba začala ihned a dal a 105 objednaných strojů. Na ně navázala série mírně zlepšených CA-13, poslední sériovou verzí byla CA-19. Většina CA-19 byla postavena v průzkumné verzi s kamerou v trupu.
