1. A small error crept into page 22 before printing, leading to an error as regards the Hurricanes painted as P3873. The correct version is as above. 2. Hawker Hunter Aviation’s new Hunter, XE688, has been noted doing engine runs at Scampton recently. The airframe was rebuilt using the centre section of XE704 many years ago and so the collected thinking is that XE704 more correctly represents its current identity. 3. As progress is made towards returning it to flight, Lynx AH7 has now been registered as G-NCKS. 4. In mid-November Air Cadet gliding once again resumed at Predannack with the delivery of two Viking T1s. 5. As widely expected, No 72 Sqn, which formerly operated the Tucano T1, stood up at RAF Valley on 28 November 2019, now operating the Texan T1.

  • Bristol Airport - Wikipedia Coordinates: 51°22′58″N 002°43′09″W Bristol Airport
    09/06/2021 Bristol Airport - Wikipedia Coordinates: 51°22′58″N 002°43′09″W Bristol Airport Bristol Airport (IATA: BRS, ICAO: EGGD), at Lulsgate Bottom, on the northern slopes of the Mendip Hills, in North Bristol Airport Somerset, is the commercial airport serving the city of Bristol, England, and the surrounding area. It is 7 nautical miles (13 km; 8.1 mi) southwest of Bristol city centre.[2] Built on the site of a former RAF airfield, it opened in 1957 as Bristol (Lulsgate) Airport,[4] replacing Bristol (Whitchurch) Airport as Bristol's municipal airport. From 1997 to 2010, it was known as Bristol International Airport.[5] In 1997, a majority shareholding in the airport was sold to FirstGroup, and then in 2001 the airport was sold to a joint venture of Macquarie Bank and others. In September 2014, Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan bought out Macquarie to become the sole owner. In 2019, it was ranked the eighth busiest airport (overtaking Glasgow International Airport from the previous year) in the IATA: BRS · ICAO: EGGD United Kingdom, handling over 8.9 million passengers, a 3% Summary [6] increase compared with 2018.

    List of Royal Canadian Air Force stations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 16 List of Royal Canadian Air Force stations From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This is a list of stations operated by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), or stations where RCAF units existed, from 1924 until unification into the Canadian Forces on February 1, 1968. Some of the RCAF stations listed in this article link to facility descriptions containing the prefix "CFB" (Canadian Forces Base) or "CFS" (Canadian Forces Station). These facilities were at one time RCAF stations, but changed to CFBs or CFSs following unification of the Canadian Armed Forces in 1968. Most former RCAF stations still in use by the Canadian Forces are now operated by Air Command (AIRCOM). During the 1990s, most AIRCOM squadrons on Canadian Forces Bases were reorganized into "wings" as the primary lodger unit. Consequently, many Canadian Forces Bases used as air force bases are frequently referred to without the prefix CFB, e.g., "CFB Shearwater" is also referred to as "12 Wing Shearwater", with 12 Wing being the primary lodger unit at CFB Shearwater. All RCAF facilities followed the naming tradition of the Royal Air Force, whereby the prefix RCAF (vs. RAF) was affixed.

    15 College Mill, Winchester Martin Gregory The path of the river Itchen through Winchester was reorganised by the Romans to provide sites for grist mills. Thus mediaeval Winchester had many small mills using the river Itchen as their power supply. They were grouped on several branches of the river, one of which served Abbey Mill and then Floodstock Mill which was on College Street. Floodstock Mill is described as ‘entirely ruinous’ in 1419 and never again produces any revenue 1. However, its tailrace ran through the Warden’s garden in Winchester College. Embanking this tailrace created a fall further down the river, which was used to drive College Mill a century later. Winchester College was founded by William of Wykeham, then Bishop of Winchester, in 1382 to educate 70 scholars. He endowed it with various lands and property to carry out its mission. This endowment included several corn or grist mills including, for instance, the tide mill at Eling, Hants. In 1534, King Henry VIII broke with the Pope in Rome and deprived the Roman church of its annates (annual taxes). Winchester College was included in the list of church benefices which Henry appropriated. However, in 1535, an Act specifically excluded the Colleges of Winchester and Eton and the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, from payment of these taxes. Having survived, the College obtained a licence, dated April 14th 1539, from Bishop Gardiner (of Winchester) to Warden More (of the College) ‘to build and maintain a mill for grinding their corn at a suitable spot … on the stream that runs from St.
