I had been looking for a good book on the subject of PBY5 Catalinas and my search took me to the book that had only recently been published. Looking around my hometown was bringing no joy, so I started looking at alternatives to buying local. With a stroke of genius, I checked at the local book warehouse and managed to find the sole copy of the book that they had received to sell. It was an eye opener to discover that most of the official reports about the RAAF operations with the 'cats' was still classified until just the last few years, and, even then, not all details were that easy to find. Some of the missions were long arduous affairs, often flown at near zero feet (well a hundred feet or less), at night, and sometimes, into the teeth of a tropical storm or forming cyclone. The modifications that were done to our 'cats' made for interesting reading as all the armour plating was removed as well as the self-sealing fuel tanks and the complex landing gear system. This led to the RAAF 'cats' being defined as PBY5A [M]. The M was a pure Australian modification indicating that the landing gear and the other items had been removed and that the aircraft was intended for mining operations and ultra-long flights. Having a lighter aircraft and larger capacity fuel tanks without the self-sealing, enabled the 'cats' to take on the mines and the extra fuel. The modifications were carried out near Swan Hill in Victoria as Consolidated flatly refused to leave the equipment out during the build. A one size fits all mentality. Of course, only bare lip service was paid to the efforts of the RAAF [by the US] during this time even though the missions were highly successful and resulted in the loss of significant tonnage by the Japanese fleet of ships both merchant and war. It is ironic that the US Navy and the RAAF worked so well together on the whole project, only for the operation as a whole to be forgotten about. My copy cost me thirty one dollars and was well worth every cent as far as I am concerned. This is a good read for anyone who is interested in the war time efforts of unsung Australian heroes - especially on how to keep beer cold with dripping fuel. Why my interest in the Catalinas?, My number two project on the table right now is a 2.8 metre Catalina and she just has to be a RAAF unit with the code RK*A. [A24-88]. Painting her will be a breeze, all black. Page | 2 Newsletter 430 – July 2020 Diary Notes Next Aeromodellers NSW Bi-Monthly Management Committee Meeting.

    BMFA Scale Technical Committee Newsletter - December 2013 Editorial: Andy Sephton

    BMFA Scale Technical Committee Newsletter - December 2013 Editorial: Andy Sephton The main news for this issue is Scale Helicopters will be joining BMFA Scale from the R/C Power Technical Committee with effect from the 2014 season. The 2014 Rule Book will incorporate the Helicopter Scale Rules and we will be co-opting a Scale Helicopter flyer onto the Scale Technical Committee. I didn’t get the chance to see them at this year’s Nationals, but I’m looking forward to witnessing their models next year. I’m sure you’ll join me in giving them a warm welcome into our group. For Scale Indoor Flyers, please note that the next Scale Indoor Nationals will be my last as organiser. We need a successor, please contact me for more information. I was asked by more than one modeller if static judging could be brought into the flying only schedule for Scale Indoor Free Flight and RC so that more complex models with less than ideal flying characteristics would not be disadvantaged. The very reason that flying only was introduced was to give the less complex models a chance in Scale competition. It also allows models with less than complete documentation to be constructed and demonstrated in competition. The best place to compete complex models is the Nationals, Flying Only is for flying models and there is no mark given for complexity. There will be a number of rule changes for 2014 in the January 2014 issue of the BMFA Scale Rule Book. See later in this Newsletter for a summary Results: to save space, result tables for those competitions that have their results promulgated on the Scale BMFA website have not been included in the Newsletter.

This publication provides information on officially named freeways; highways; structures such as bridges, tunnels, and interchanges; Blue Star Memorial Highways; Safety Roadside Rest Areas; and memorial plaques. A section concerning historical names is also included in this publication. The final section of this publication includes background information on each naming. HOW FREEWAYS, HIGHWAYS AND STRUCTURES ARE NAMED Each route in the State Highway System is given a unique number for identification and signed with distinctive numbered Interstate, United States, or California State route shields to guide public travel. The State Legislature designates all State highway routes and assigns route numbers, while the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) has authority over the numbering of Interstate and United States routes. In addition to having a route number, a route may also have a name and, in some cases, multiple names.
