  • The Aircraft Flown by 24 Squadron
    The Aircraft Flown by 24 Squadron 24 Squadron RAF is currently the Operational Training Squadron for the Lockheed C130J Hercules, based at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire. Apart from a short period as a cadre in 1919, they have been continuously operating for the RFC & RAF since 1915. They started off as a Scout (Fighter) Squadron, developed into a ground attack unit, became a communications specialist with a subsidiary training role, and in 1940 became a transport squadron. I have discovered records of 100 different types being allocated or used by the Squadron, some were trial aircraft used for a few days and others served for several years, and in the case of the Lockheed Hercules decades! In addition many different marks of the same type were operated, these include; 5 Marks of the Avro 504 1 civil and 4 Military marks of the Douglas DC3/ Dakota All 7 marks of the Lockheed Hudson used by the RAF 4 marks of the Lockheed Hercules 5 marks of the Bristol F2B fighter 3 Marks of the Vickers Wellington XXIV Squadron has operated aircraft designed by 39 separate concerns, built in Britain, Belgium, France, Germany, Holland, and the USA. The largest numbers from one maker/ designer are the Airco and De Havilland DH series totalling 22 types or marks, followed by 12 types or marks from Lockheed, and 11 from Avro. The total number of aircraft operated if split down into different marks comes to 137no from the Airspeed “Envoy” to the Wicko “Warferry” Earliest Days 24 Squadron was formed at Hounslow as an offshoot of 17 Squadron on the 1st September 1915 initially under the command of Capt A G Moore.

  • Roll of Honour 1914 –18
    EASTBOURNE COLLEGE The Memorial Building ROLL OF HONOUR 1914 –18 The Memorial Panels IN MEMORIAM They will always be remembered. Although now beyond the range of living memory, the Great War is the unforgettable ground of modern life. To begin with, it may have looked like another in a series of European wars – the Napoleonic, the Crimean, the Austro-Prussian, the Franco-Prussian – but the effects of this 20th-century war were to shake nations as far away as the United States, India, Australia and New Zealand. Thrown into chaos, the world was changed forever by a war without precedent. Everything from the material and economic to the metaphysical and the psychological was disrupted. A generation was sacrificed. History and geography were dislocated. The values and rules of Western civilization were thrown in question. Men lost faith in the ability to shape or even understand their destiny. Instead they found themselves components of a machine running out of control. New fears stalked the ‘collective unconscious’ (a phrase coined in English in 1917). These huge changes were the sum of millions of individual devastations such as those documented, a century on, in this Roll of Honour. As we know, scarcely any family, village or school was unaffected by personal tragedy, but we must try to remember, too, that each of these names was a son, a promising hope, a beloved, a fellow member of a house or team, a shy or quirky or ambitious youngster, a pupil, a friend. Look at men in the photographs. Some clearly belong to another age, but others might just have walked off College Field.
