The January issue will feature the usual UK Review for 2018 (this year it is back in Graeme's capable hands) and the Index for the 2017 issues of MAR. Please remember that if you have to download your 2017 PDF issues for MAR or @MAR that the files will only be on the web site until the end of January and then they will be removed. Please remember to download them to your own storage devices! For those who have renewed their 2018 subscriptions a big thank you! Happily, you are in the majority - for those who have not renewed yet please do so as soon as possible. As, in recent years, we will not be sending out reminders and we have to decide in early January how many paper copies we need for the first January issue and if you have not renewed by then there is always the possibility that you could miss out on the first issue. To all of our contributors (regular and occasional) and all of our readers, I would like to wish you all a Happy Christmas and an excellent aviation 2018 from all of the Editorial team, and from my wife Christine who makes certain you receive MAR every month!

Note that they are quite important so be sure that you take a note of them. Notice ‐ 1 Please be aware that the next BVSAC Meeting will take place on the Second Saturday of November i.e. on the 14th of November at the usual time. Notice ‐ 2 The BVSAC Christmas Party is scheduled to be held on the second Saturday in December. That date being the 11th of December. All the best Peter Ratcliffe BVSAC President Page 2 Issue 86 November – 2020 - Brisbane Valley Flyer – The Improbable Turn By Rob Knight WARNING: this article is blunt. I am not PC, and i am certainly not softening my prose. I need to get a message across that just might save your life in a moment of high stress. The name of this article says it all. If you attempt to turn back to land on the departure runway subsequent to an engine failure after take‐off, especially at low altitude, statistically your very survival is improbable. I was totally dismayed when I recently read an article published in an aviation journal promoting a 180 degree return to the runway following an engine failure after take‐off.

  • CASM-Canadair-CL-13B-Sabre-F-86
    CANADA AVIATION AND SPACE MUSEUM AIRCRAFT CANADAIR CL-13B / F-86 SABRE MK 6 RCAF GOLDEN HAWKS SERIAL 23651 Introduction In August 1949, Canadair Limited, located at the Cartierville Airport facilities near Montreal, and the Department of National Defence (DND) signed a contract for the manufacture under license of 100 of the most advanced swept-wing day fighter aircraft of the time, the North American Aviation (NAA) F-86 Sabre. Assigned the Canadair model number CL-13, this order led to the largest aircraft production run in Canadair’s history. From 1949 to October 1958, Canadair Limited went on to produce some 1,815 examples of the famed fighter, in models ranging from the Sabre Mark (Mk) 1 up to the ultimate Sabre Mk 6 series, with a few special experimental models emanating from the production batches. The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) was the prime customer for the majority of these aircraft, but the power and reputation of the Canadian-built examples had other nations sit up and take notice, eventually culminating in numerous orders to North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and non-NATO countries. Canadair delivered versions of the CL-13 Sabre to the United States, Britain, Greece, Turkey, Italy, Yugoslavia, Germany, Columbia, and South Africa. RCAF variants served domestically training pilots and crews, and performed an important role in the Canadian commitment to provide a European air contingent for NATO operations. Some of the Canadian-based RCAF units wished to proudly show off their shiny new jet mounts to the general public, seeing as they were paying for them in one way or another, and permission was eventually granted for limited public expositions.

Ähnlichkeiten mit Lebenden und Personen, die scheinbar meinem Bekanntenkreis entstammen, sind, insbesondere wenn sie etwas schlechter wegkommen, nicht beabsichtigt, rein zufällig und ebenfalls in der Regel frei erfunden.

Teil 1441 – 1480 Marsa Alam - Latsi 1.441 (Fr. 10.04.09) Die Nacht war sehr ruhig, aber am Morgen hört man wieder den Wind in den Wanten. Da die gribfiles für heute Nachmittag abnehmenden und für morgen Mittag gar keinen Wind vorhersagen, brechen wir auf. Kaum haben wir die Nase aus der Bucht gesteckt und sind auf den Kurs eingedreht, geht es los. Eine grobe See, Wind von vorn und ganz leichter Schiebestrom. JUST DO IT astet und kämpft, um einen halbwegs vernünftigen Fortschritt zu erzielen. Unser elektrischer Autopilot ist für Spricht für sich die Bedingungen zu schwach, so wird konsequent per Hand gesteuert. Natürlich könnten wir auch mit Hilfe des Windpiloten kreuzen, aber dann bräuchten wir 10.04.09 mindestens doppelt so lange. Wir wollen uns aber nicht so viel Zeit nehmen, denn es Marsa Alam – Port Ghalib sieht so aus, als öffne sich ein Wetterfenster, dass wir noch nutzen könnten.

    The Comox Air Force Museum’s Guide to the Aircraft of the Heritage Air Park By Dan Brennan *All photographs found in this guide are subject to copyright and cannot be reused without the express written permission of the owner. Canadair CL-28 Argus Mark I Argus 10719 of 415 Squadron on maritime patrol. From Greek mythology, the “Argus” was an all-seeing creature with 100 eyes. This name was appropriate due to the numerous highly sophisticated sensing devices carried on board, with antennas everywhere. Note the large nose radome of the Mark I. Protruding from the tail is the MAD Boom, a Magnetic Anomaly Detector which detects the magnetic field surrounding a steel submarine. The Canadian-built, Canadair Argus was a unique hybrid that employed the wings, tail surfaces and undercarriage of the British designed Bristol Britannia transport aircraft, married to a completely new unpressurized fuselage of Canadian design and equipped with different American-designed engines. One of the most effective anti-submarine warfare aircraft of its day, the Argus was a mainstay for the RCAF in the maritime role. The principal difference between the Mark I and Mark II was primarily in the different navigation, communication and tactical electronic equipment fitted internally. Externally, the Mark II exhibited a redesigned smaller nose radome and additional ECM antennae above the fuselage. The Argus replaced the Lancaster and Neptune aircraft types and eventually, the Argus was itself to be replaced by the current Lockheed CP-140 Aurora aircraft. The Argus flew with the Maritime Proving & Evaluation Unit and the following Squadrons: 404, 405, 407, 415, and 449.

  • To War in a Starfighter
    DURING THE COLD WAR, CANADA STRUCK A THE CANADIAN CONNECTION DEAL WITH LOCKHEED TO BUILD THE F-104 During the late 1950s, with some pres- sure from the USA and the United STARFIGHTER UNDER LICENSE. THE CF-104 Kingdom, Canada modified its role within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization DIFFERED IN NUMEROUS WAY FROM THE (NATO). With the threat posed by the Soviet Union constantly increasing, Canada LOCKHEED PRODUCT. THE ROYAL CANADIAN committed to the nuclear strike role. The AIR FORCE PLACED NUCLEAR BOMB Canadair Sabre was then serving with the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) but the CARRYING CF-104s IN GERMANY WITH THE aircraft was not capable of the new mission even though RCAF Sabre squadrons were a SHARP END POINTED AT THE WARSAW PACT strong presence within NATO. Accordingly, an international search began for a suitable BY E.A. SEITZ aircraft. All major aircraft builders were eager to have Canada as a customer and a Canadian panel considered the Blackburn Buccaneer, Dassault Mirage IIIC, Fiat G.91, Grumman F-111 Super Tiger, Lockheed F-104G Starfighter, Northrop N-156 Freedom Fighter, and the Republic F-105 Thunderchief. The RCAF contingent rea- soned that the Thunderchief, fitted with an Orenda Iroquois turbojet, would be the best aircraft for the mission. However, as in any bureaucracy, cost became a major concern and this factor was perhaps placed first over capability (in RCAF service, the F-105 would have been an absolutely fearsome weapon with much greater capabilities than the CF-104). To keep their aviation industry alive (which had been heavily damaged by the cancellation of the Avro CF-105 Arrow), the study committee favored the pro- posal put forth by Lockheed.

  • Het Grote LUCHTVAARTKENNIS Register
    Het grote LUCHTVAARTKENNIS register Het register van het Luchtvaart Historisch Tijdschrift ‘LUCHTVAARTKENNIS’ en de daaraan voorafgaande ‘Mededelingen’ van de Afdeling Luchtvaartkennis van de KNVvL geeft een overzicht van hetgeen in de afgelopen jaren is gepubliceerd, m.u.v. de eerste jaargang, die helaas niet meer te traceren blijkt. Uiteraard is v.w.b. De eerste jaargangen selectief opgetreden, aangezien daarin veel summiere feiten (vliegtuiggegevens etc.) staan, die zo niet achterhaald, dan toch eenvoudiger elders te vinden zijn. Ook de diverse publicaties van het vooroorlogse Nederlandse burgerlucht- vaartregister zijn weggelaten, omdat deze na het verschijnen van het boek ‘75 jaar Nederlandse burgerluchtvaartregisters’ als overbodig kunnen worden beschouwd. Aangezien eerst in 1987 een volledige paginanummering voor het gehele jaar werd ingevoerd, wordt tot dat jaar de vindplaats aangeduid met jaartal en nummer van de betreffende aflevering van de ‘Mededelingen’. Vanaf 1987 geschied zulks per pagina. De in de Luchtvaartencyclopedie verschenen onderwerpen worden aangeduid conform de aflevering waarin deze verschenen. In een enkel geval uit 1985/86 bleek dit niet te achterhalen. Wanneer in een artikel de gehele productie van een bepaalde fabriek wordt weergegeven, wordt volstaan met de vermelding van de fabriek en worden niet de afzonderlijke types vermeld.
