  • An Aircrew Experience by Fred Barnes Document
    1 AS IT HAPPENED BY FRED BARNES AO DFC AFC AN AIRCREW EXPERIENCE ARCHIVAL NOTE: Fred was good enough to entrust his autobiography to me so that I could take extracts for our historical records. Fred joined the RAAF in 1943 when the Service was 22 years old and served continuously until the RAAF turned 60, 38 years later. He held every rank from AC2 to Air Vice-Marshal. Naturally, his book reads like an RAAF Aircrew Who’s Who from the 1940s to the 1980s. Because stories in this section are told in the first person, the words used are Fred’s, whose pilot training to ‘wings’ standard took place at no. 5 Service Flying Training School (SFTS) Uranquinty NSW where the following incident took place. E.C. WHO IS WHOM? One of our course mates was known as Maurie Burnett. He was a little wild and it was rather hard to believe his story that his previous occupation was ‘studying for the priesthood’. On the last weekend before graduation a group of us were in Wagga Wagga celebrating a little early. Because of rationing, hotels were only open for an hour or so at a time and we were walking across the main road to find another hotel that still had some beer. An old car with open spoke wheels was coming along the road and Maurie apparently had not seen it. We called a warning and Maurie, who had been imbibing a little, turned towards the oncoming car and said something to the effect of “Bother the car” and kicked at it.

  • Development in the Obstacle Limitation Surface
    Development in the Obstacle Limitation Surface Western Sydney Airport’s (WSA) protected airspace is known as the Obstacle Limitation Surface (OLS) and has been declared under the provisions of the Airports Act 1996 (Cth) and Airports (Protection of Airspace) Amendment Regulation 1996. The declaration of the OLS balances the need to ensure a safe operating environment for aircraft with the community’s need for clarity about development surrounding the airport. The OLS is designed to protect aircraft flying in visual conditions in close proximity to the WSA. The OLS defines a volume of airspace above a set of surfaces that are primarily modelled upon the layout and configuration of the confirmed Stage 1 and proposed long-term runways. Further technical information about the OLS is available at www.wsaco.com.au. How does the OLS affect me? The purpose of the OLS is to ensure that development within the OLS area is examined for its impact on future aircraft operations and that it is properly taken into account. The OLS will have no impact on you unless the development you plan on your property infringes on the airport’s protected airspace. You will need to be aware of the OLS if you are planning certain developments on your property. An online tool is available at www.wsaco.com.au where you can search your address to find out the height of the protected airspace above your property. Development that infringes on the airport’s protected airspace is called a controlled activity and can include, but is not limited to: permanent structures, such as buildings, intruding into the protected airspace; temporary structures such as cranes intruding into the protected airspace; or any activities causing intrusions into the protected airspace through glare from artificial light or reflected sunlight, air turbulence from stacks or vents, smoke, dust, steam or other gases or particulate matter.
