AUGUST 2006 9 Afterburner Society News NATIONAL AEROSPACE LIBRARY George Saynor Archive On 14 November 2013 two heavy, large, rusting, old, metal shipping trunks were delivered to the National Aerospace Library at Farnborough by John Kime. These contained the archives of his grandfather, George William Saynor AFRAeS (1890-1970). Formerly of the Royal Air Force and the Blackburn Aeroplane and Motor Co Ltd, in 1928 George Saynor travelled to Canada and, after a brief period at Canadian Vickers, designed with Robert Norman Bell AFRAeS a single-seater high-wing parasol monoplane — the Saynor & Bell Canadian Cub (40hp ABC Motors Limited Scorpion II) CF-APS [span 25ft; overall length 18ft; overall height 6ft 1½ inches] — which was fi rst fl own on 4 December 1930 at St Hubert Airport, located in the borough of Longueuil, Quebec. Unusually, the aircraft’s rounded plywood monocoque fuselage and wings had been assembled by the designers in the basement of a house in the Maisonneuve district of Montreal. The British weekly journal Flight on 1 May 1931 noted, in a praiseworthy review of the aircraft: “Its performance is remarkably good, having proved to be well behaved in the air, free from vices, and has performed all the usual aerobatic feats,” however, the aircraft ultimately proved to be under-powered and only one example was ever built, the project being abandoned during the subsequent Great Depression era.

    Newsletter 42 April 2018

    Newsletter 42 • April 2018 Forthcoming Meetings Wednesday 23 May 2018, 8 pm (doors open 7.30) Tudor Fashion Eleri Lynn, Curator, Hampton Court Palace Clore Centre, Hampton Court Palace, KT8 9AU Eleri Lynn is the collections curator at Historic Royal Palaces, with special responsibility for the dress collection. Her talk will tell the captivating story of Tudor dress, its construction and symbolism, and the people who made and wore it. The Tudor monarchs and their courtiers are some of the best-known figures in history. They continue, even today, to spark our curiosity and imagination. Their enduring popularity is no doubt partly due to the iconic portraits in which they are depicted in magnificent style, in farthingales and ruffs, furs and jewels, codpieces and cloaks, and vast expanses of velvet and silk. Far from being mere decoration, fashion was pivotal in the communication of status and power. It was used as a tool in securing and holding the tenuous Tudor throne and as a competitive weapon in the factions, intrigues and love-affairs of the court. Histories of Kings and Queens complement stories of unsung dressmakers, laundresses, and officials charged with maintaining and transporting the immense Tudor wardrobes from palace to palace.

  • WWI Wooden Laminated Propeller & Clock

    WWI Wooden Laminated Propeller & Clock

    WWI Wooden Laminated Propeller & clock A very rare and graceful laminated wooden propeller made by the Integral Prop Company. The propeller was used on a 90 horse power Royal Aircraft Factory engine 1, with a DH6 aircraft, whose stability enabled it to become an all-weather anti-sub aircraft when the U-Boat menace became a danger to Great Britain in 1917. With a length of just over 9 feet (278cms), this will be a dominant feature on any wall and an interesting talking point. The clock is an early Mercer electrical clock, giving almost silent operation. The underside of the hub is stamped IPC 23770 D278 (indicating a diameter of 2.78 m) P330 (indicating a pitch of 3.30m) HP 90 RAF DE H 6 (Arco deHavilland 6) G586 N65 (indicating the sixty-fifth prop in batch 586) 50887 (the serial number of IPC). This information was gleaned from Bob Gardner, whose excellent website www.woodenpropeller.com is a mine of information. Thanks Bob! Another propeller from batch G583 Bob dates to autumn of 1917, so this one was presumably made very shortly afterwards. The front of the propeller is also stamped with a military insignia. The timepiece clock is from a bulkhead marine clock by Mercer from around 1930. Originally a slave clock , it is now retro-fitted with a slave impulser to run independently. It is powered by a standard 1.5-volt batteries, concealed within the hub. The silvered 6-inch dial has Arabic numerals within a minute- track and is signed MERCER, ST. ALBANS, ENGLAND.

    Master Narrative Ours Is the Epic Story of the Royal Navy, Its Impact on Britain and the World from Its Origins in 625 A.D

    NMRN Master Narrative Ours is the epic story of the Royal Navy, its impact on Britain and the world from its origins in 625 A.D. to the present day. We will tell this emotionally-coloured and nuanced story, one of triumph and achievement as well as failure and muddle, through four key themes:- People. We tell the story of the Royal Navy’s people. We examine the qualities that distinguish people serving at sea: courage, loyalty and sacrifice but also incidents of ignorance, cruelty and cowardice. We trace the changes from the amateur ‘soldiers at sea’, through the professionalization of officers and then ships’ companies, onto the ‘citizen sailors’ who fought the World Wars and finally to today’s small, elite force of men and women. We highlight the change as people are rewarded in war with personal profit and prize money but then dispensed with in peace, to the different kind of recognition given to salaried public servants. Increasingly the people’s story becomes one of highly trained specialists, often serving in branches with strong corporate identities: the Royal Marines, the Submarine Service and the Fleet Air Arm. We will examine these identities and the Royal Navy’s unique camaraderie, characterised by simultaneous loyalties to ship, trade, branch, service and comrades. Purpose. We tell the story of the Royal Navy’s roles in the past, and explain its purpose today. Using examples of what the service did and continues to do, we show how for centuries it was the pre-eminent agent of first the British Crown and then of state policy throughout the world.
