  • Singapore Takes Flight: a Hundred Years
    Aviation history was made on 16 March 1911. On this day, the first aircraft took flight in Singapore, when a Bristol Boxkite biplane piloted by Joseph Christiaens rose into the air from the old Race Course at Farrer Park. It was a flight demonstration at the first aviation meet held in Singapore. To mark the centenary of this historic occasion, the Singapore Philatelic Museum has opened a new exhibition titled Singapore Takes Flight: A Hundred Years.

    TATSFIELD ARCHIVE CATALOGUE CONTENTS Most of this material is held by Tatsfield Parish Council or by the Tatsfield History Project. Original items and copies are stored at the Aileen McHugo Building in Tatsfield. Most of the original material has been deposited at the Surrey History Centre in Woking, with hard copies retained in Tatsfield. The numbering system allows additions to be made to the several thousand items already in the archive with minimum changes to numbering. The contents section indicates where information is likely to be found. Material about a particular subject can often be found spread across different sections of the archive, according to its origin and/or date of acquisition. Scanned versions of material held in the National Archives or at the Surrey History Centre can normally be found in sections 3/1 and 3/4. The more fertile general areas of the archive are: Images, or books such as: Tatsfield: the first 2000 years (extracts from the text published in 1999), Tales of Tatsfield, (published in 1987) and Tatsfield School Past and Present (published in 2010). The ‘People’ link leads to nearly 17,000 entries from census returns, church records, directories and other sources. The Parish Registers have details from the 17th to the 19th centuries. The digest of Parish Council minutes (1894-1995) contains brief references to people and events during the years covered. Original minute books covering 1894 to December 2007 have been scanned. Later minutes are available on the Parish Council website. Local press coverage has information about people and events since the 1880s.

  • Police Aviation News
    Police Aviation—History INTRODUCTION As far as I am aware, this history of the varied methods by which the law enforcement forces of the world arrived in a position whereby, by the late 1990s, most of them have been able to under- take air patrols is the first attempted. The content is exhaustive as possible in the face of a de- gree of secrecy and a certain lack of inertia. The meaning of the word “police” is, I recall from my training days over thirty years ago, the means by which governments endeavor to keep the peace. Although still valid in many parts of the world, this statement to fledgling British police was probably never intended to encompass the sheer diversity of modern law enforcement. Written in the days of Victoria, it was inward look- ing and took no account of the extensive para-military activity that now typifies policing across the world. For this reason the researching and compilation of this book has been complicated by the requirement to make arbitrary decisions about just which law enforcement bodies to include in the survey. Instances of this can be clearly seen from the coverage of the United States of America [USA], the country where the ground swell of law enforcement aviation was, and is, most clearly to be seen. In the USA there are thousands of law enforcement units across the length and breadth of this massive country, some use aircraft. In addition to the hundreds of police, marshall and sheriff units, each thrusting forward, individually and mutually, in the battle against law breakers, there are the large Federal organizations, most of which give the impression of having other, more pressing, duties to perform than law enforcement.
