2015 WOW Medals and Awards Brochure.Indd 2015 Honours, Medals & Awards Royal Aeronautical Society ...... RAeS Honours, Medals & Awards The global aerospace community’s most prestigious and long-standing awards honouring achievement, innovation and excellence. The Royal Aeronautical Society has been honouring outstanding achievers in the global aerospace industry since 1909, when Wilbur and Orville Wright came to London to receive the Society’s first Gold Medal. Over the years, honouring aerospace achievers in this way has become an annual tradition. The Society’s Awards Programme recognises and celebrates individuals and teams who have made an exceptional contribution to aerospace, whether it is for an outstanding contribution or achievement, a major technical innovation, exceptional leadership, long and valued service, or for work that will further advance aerospace.

Honorary Companionship The Society’s highest distinction for those whose professional achievements are not exclusively in aerospace but who have nevertheless made a substantial contribution to the aerospace profession. MR DAVID BENT AVIATION ARTIST Mr Bent is admitted to Honorary Companionship in recognition of his exceptional contribution in transforming aviation art with iconic paintings, bringing aviation, technology and art together to a completely new audience while, at the same time, promoting aerospace far and wide. He has tirelessly used his art to promote the benefits of aerospace to wider society including encouraging young people into the aerospace community. His support for aviation charities also merits recognition. Mr Bent has a family background in aerospace but chose art as a professional career, working for much of his early career as an art teacher while developing his own artwork and distinctive style. He was reintroduced to aerospace about ten years ago through the Red Arrows and through the Royal International Air Tattoo. He was first invited to collaborate as Artist in Residence with the Red Arrows in 2007. This remains a positive and enduring goodwill relationship and David is the artist most closely associated with the team. ...... 5 Royal Aeronautical Society ...... RAeS Medals RAeS

Memorial Tributes: Volume 17 SIR WILLIAM REDE HAWTHORNE 1913–2011 Elected in 1976 “For pioneering contributions in the understanding of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics and their applications in mechanical engineering, particularly jet engines.” BY EDWARD M. GREITZER AND JOHN H. HORLOCK SIR WILLIAM HAWTHORNE, a pioneer in the aerody- namics and thermodynamics of gas turbine engines, and a sought-after technology advisor and consultant to industry and government, died in Cambridge, England, on September 16, 2011. Will was born in Benton, England, near Newcastle-on-Tyne, May 22, 1913. His father was a consulting civil engineer, his mother one of the first women graduates in biology of the University of Glasgow. His family moved to London soon thereafter, and he was educated at Dragon School in Oxford and at Westminster School, where he rowed and also acted. He won an exhibition to Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1931, where he read mathematics before moving to mechanical sciences, receiving double firsts at graduation. He took a particular interest in thermodynamics, winning the Ricardo Prize in that subject and sharing the Rex Moir Prize awarded to the best student in the Mechanical Sciences Tripos. He also rowed for Trinity and joined the Pentacle Club (conjurers), appearing in their London revue with his sleight-of-hand show; he maintained a lifelong love of conjuring. After leaving Cambridge, he worked as a graduate apprentice at Babcock & Wilcox in Renfrew. 133 Copyright National Academy of Sciences. All rights reserved.

  • The New Whittle Laboratory Decarbonising Propulsion and Power
    The New Whittle Laboratory Decarbonising Propulsion and Power The impressive work undertaken by the Whittle Laboratory, through the National Centre for Propulsion “and Power project, demonstrates the University’s leadership in addressing the fundamental challenges of climate change. The development of new technologies, allowing us to decarbonise air travel and power generation, will be central to our efforts to create a carbon neutral future. Professor Stephen Toope, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge ” 2 The New Whittle Laboratory Summary Cambridge has a long tradition of excellence in the propulsion and power sectors, which underpin aviation and energy generation. From 1934 to 1937, Frank Whittle studied engineering in Cambridge as a member of Peterhouse. During this time he was able to advance his revolutionary idea for aircraft propulsion and founded ‘Power Jets Ltd’, the company that would go on to develop the jet engine. Prior to this, in 1884 Charles Parsons of St John’s College developed the first practical steam turbine, a technology that today generates more than half of the world’s electrical power.* Over the last 50 years the Whittle Laboratory has built on this heritage, playing a crucial role in shaping the propulsion and power sectors through industry partnerships with Rolls-Royce, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Siemens. The Whittle Laboratory is also the world’s most academically successful propulsion and power research institution, winning nine of the last 13 Gas Turbine Awards, the most prestigious prize in the field, awarded once a year since 1963. Aviation and power generation have brought many benefits – connecting people across the world and providing safe, reliable electricity to billions – but decarbonisation of these sectors is now one of society’s greatest challenges.

  • RAF Football Association - E-Bulletin
    RAF Football Association - E-Bulletin RAF FA CUP ‘THE KEITH CHRISTIE TROPHY’ AND RAF FA PLATE 19/20 UPDATE With the RAF Cup now in full swing, the second round produced some more exciting ties and saw some big names exit the competition. RAF Leeming’s away trip to Akrotiri was the eagerly anticipated tie of the round, however it proved to be a tough trip for the visitors as they were on the receiving end of a heavy 5-1 defeat. SAC Liam Thornton grabbed four of the goals, taking his overall tally to six and making him the current top scorer in the competition. RAF Brize Norton faced the long journey up to Lossiemouth and it proved to be successful as they ground out a 1-0 win with Sgt Dave Wanless scoring the all-important goal, Brize Norton will be hoping for a slightly shorter journey if they are drawn away in the next round. SAC Liam Wood scored his first two goals of the competition helping RAF Northolt to an away win at Wyton with RAF Coningsby also picking up a convincing away victory running out 4-0 winner against JFC Chicksands & RAF Henlow. RAF Honington who have a great history with the competition were knocked out at the hands of RAF Odiham thanks to a single goal from SAC Clarke Goulding. RAF FA E-Bulletin – RAF Cup Update Elsewhere, RAF Shawbury and RAF Marham both scored four goals each to take them through with victories over MOD St Athan and RAF Waddington respectively. RAF Boulmer also strolled through to the next round with an impressive 7-1 victory over RAF Cranwell.

  • Reflections on Churchill's Scientists and Engineers
    1 Reflections on Churchill’s Scientists-the first generation By Anthony Kelly Founding Fellow of Churchill College This presentation has the aim of demonstrating the great importance of the scientific and engineering material held in the Churchill College Archive. The great significance of the political archival material is well known. I want to emphasize the importance of the scientific material by recounting the achievements of the very early Fellows of the College, all of whom served under Winston Churchill, as Prime Minister. This note was composed for a Symposium dedicated to thanking Richard Keynes for his Chairmanship of the Churchill College Archive Committee from 1975 until1998. A list of Fellows of Churchill who are, or were, of an age to have served in World War II is given in Table 1 below. Some minor details still need to be inserted. The scientists or engineers were all Churchill’s scientists (or engineers) in the sense of Churchill being their war time leader. They have all subsequently for long or short periods been Churchill (College)’s engineers (or scientists). This presentation will take a selection of those who served in the war and subsequently became Fellows of the College. Having delineated their war time service, it will note their subsequent activities which show relevance to Churchill (the war time leader)’s hopes for this institution named after him. Namely, to the stated aim of producing an institution in UK with similar strengths and claims to those of M.I.T. The presentation also aims to further the growth of the Archive Centre which, with the College, is the national memorial to Sir Winston Churchill.
