In terms of lots on offer, it was a relatively short affair, but in terms of the history of gallant aviators, it was a landmark sale. From an auctioneer’s perspective it was an equally memorable occasion for, on entering the rostrum, I did so in the knowledge that I had just two or three bids ‘on the book’. To be honest, I was rather worried. To quote a phrase coined by a distinguished fighter pilot – who had me spellbound by his account of a particularly challenging combat – the auction had the potential of becoming a ‘brown-trouser, bicycle-clip sort of affair’. As it transpired, my pessimism was ill-founded. Record after record price was set and it was a complete sell-out. Such is the appeal of owning a piece of R.A.F. history. The current offering may not even begin to approach the wonders of the ‘Aviation Collection’ but it does contain some notable ‘stars’. I refer to some of them in the ensuing notes. The assistance of my colleagues in compiling this current record of gallant aviators has been invaluable. Without them, it would never have appeared in print. It was special effort on all fronts, so thank you Marcus; thank you Iain and Jack. Full marks. Now to those whom we truly owe a huge debt. Those who won us our freedom. David Erskine-Hill THE ROYAL FLYING CORPS ‘To be alone, to have your life in your own hands, to use your own skill, single-handed, against the enemy. It was like the lists of the Middle Ages, the only sphere in modern warfare where a man saw his adversary and faced him in mortal combat, the only sphere where there was still chivalry and honour. If you won, it was your own bravery and skill; if you lost, it was because you had met a better man.’ Cecil Lewis, M.C. (1898-1997), neatly sums up the realities of Great War air-to-air combat in Sagittarius Rising. The early achievements of the newly established Royal Air Force were made possible by the experienced hands of the old Flying Corps and Royal Naval Air Service. That is why we are pleased to commence this special section of the sale with some notable awards to just such experienced hands. Top of the list of gallantry awards on offer must surely be the fighter ace’s Military Medal (M.M.) awarded to Flight Sergeant ‘GPO’ Olley, who amassed a total of 10 ‘kills’ in No. 1 Squadron in the second half of 1917 (Lot 14). He once mixed-in with six aircraft of Jasta 11, led by the ‘Red Baron’, and sent one of them down out of control; he nonetheless had a tricky landing because most of his under-carriage had been shot away.

Aerodrome Road borders the site to the north, while Elvington Lane forms the eastern boundary. Areas of open ground border to the south and west. The boundary comprises areas of open ground and the foundations of previously demolished structures. The site is approximately centred on the OS grid reference: TR 2044639485. Proposed Works The proposed works are understood to involve the excavation of trial pits to a depth of up to 3m. Boreholes will also be drilled to a depth of 4m-6m below ground level depending on ground conditions. Geology and Bomb Penetration Depth The British Geological Survey (BGS) map shows the bedrock geology of the site to be underlain by the Pit Chalk Formation – chalk and sedimentary bedrock of the Cretaceous Period. The superficial deposits are comprised of Clay-with-flints Formation - clay, silt, sand and gravel of the Quaternary Period. Site specific geotechnical information was not available to 1st Line Defence at the time of the production of this report. An assessment of maximum bomb penetration depth can be made once such data becomes available, or by a UXO specialist during on-site support.

  • NUI MAYNOOTH MILITARY AVIATION in IRELAND 1921- 1945 By
    L.O. 4-1 ^4- NUI MAYNOOTH QllftMll II hiJfiifin Ui Mu*« MILITARY AVIATION IN IRELAND 1921- 1945 By MICHAEL O’MALLEY THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PHD DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH Supervisor of Research: Dr. Ian Speller JANUARY 2007 IRISH MILITARY AVIATION 1921 - 1945 This thesis initially sets out to examine the context of the purchase of two aircraft, on the authority of Michael Collins and funded by the second Dail, during the Treaty negotiations of 1921. The subsequent development of civil aviation policy including the regulation of civil aviation, the management of a civil aerodrome and the possible start of a state sponsored civil air service to Britain or elsewhere is also explained. Michael Collins’ leading role in the establishment of a small Military Air Service in 1922 and the role of that service in the early weeks of the Civil War are examined in detail. The modest expansion in the resources and role of the Air Service following Collins’ death is examined in the context of antipathy toward the ex-RAF pilots and the general indifference of the new Army leadership to military aviation. The survival of military aviation - the Army Air Corps - will be examined in the context of the parsimony of Finance, and the administrative traumas of demobilisation, the Anny mutiny and reorganisation processes of 1923/24. The manner in which the Army leadership exercised command over, and directed aviation policy and professional standards affecting career pilots is examined in the contexts of the contrasting preparations for war of the Army and the Government.

During this period, the armaments industry underwent a radical transformation, moving from being based on public-owned arsenals and yards to being based on private firms – the system of military procurement prevalent today.
