  • East Lindsey Aviation History Trail (South)
    East Lindsey Aviation History Trail (South) The trail begins at Boston and the route has been carefully planned so as to end there too. Route details between the different RAF bases. Section 1 Boston to RAF Coningsby From Boston, follow signs for the A17 towards Sleaford. At Hubberts Bridge Crossroads (next to a railway signal box, with markers indicating the distance to go) turn RIGHT and follow the sign posts for Coningsby. This road is the B1192, and you will need to follow it to New York - no joke, this one was here before the American one! At the crossroads in New York, just before the chapel on the left hand side, turn LEFT and follow the road along, round through the sharp right hand bend at Dogdyke, until you pass the RAF fuel dump on your left hand side. The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight visitors' car park is on the LEFT. N.B. If you do not wish to visit the Flight but would rather spend a few minutes watching the more modern (and noisy) Typhoons, Harriers and Tornadoes, there are ample places to park up either in the spotter's car park on the Dogdyke road, in the car park for the BBMF visitor centre and a few outside the fence by the front of the BBMF hangar. However, please do NOT block the large emergency gates in the fence, as they are to be kept clear at all times. Also, please try to avoid parking on the road, as it creates a dangerous obstruction to other users of the narrow roads around the base.

  • The Royal Air Force Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Spitfires, Lancasters and an Aperture Card Scanner
    Genus Case Study Wicks & Wilson C-Drive X Aperture Card Scanner The Royal Air Force Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Spitfires, Lancasters and an aperture card scanner Not names you would normally expect to hear in the same phrase but there is a reason. A recent enquiry from a client led to the installation of a Wicks & Wilson C-Drive X Aperture Card Scanner at The Royal Air Force Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (RAFBBMF), based at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire. So far, so understandable, but what have two of the most iconic aircrafts in RAF history to do with a 35mm aperture card scanner? RAF BBMF consists of a number of military aircraft restored and kept airworthy including Spitfires, Hurricane, Lancaster and Dakota. If you have seen them at British state occasions or at air shows across the United Kingdom and Europe, this is where they call home the rest of the time. Unsurprisingly it is a full time job for the BBMF technicians to maintain the aircraft. Obviously, computer aided drawings were not around when the planes were designed, so the original drawings were undertaken by good old-fashioned aeronautical drafting – evidently to great success in these planes. Like vast quantities of original drawings, they were subsequently committed to 35mm aperture card format for reduced storage. However with an increasing demand to remanufacture or repair old parts for the planes, access to information held on those drawings has become critical… – step forward the little C-Drive X. We are not going to suggest it shares the same heroic status as the planes that now surround it at RAF Coningsby but as the saying goes, the best things come in small packages and so it has proven with the scanner.

C ONTENTS TO J UNE 2017 AIRFIELD REVIEW The Journal of the Airfield Research Group The journal was initially called Airfield Report , then ARG Newsletter, finally becoming Airfield Review in 1985. The number of pages has varied from initially just 6, occasio- nally to up to 60 (a few issues in c.2004). Typically 44, recent journals have been 48. There appear to have been three versions of the ARG index/ table of contents produced for the magazine since its conception. The first was that by David Hall c.1986, which was a very detailed publication and was extensively cross-referenced. For example if an article contained the sentence, ‘The squadron’s flights were temporarily located at Tangmere and Kenley’, then both sites would appear in the index. It also included titles of ‘Books Reviewed’ etc Since then the list has been considerably simplified with only article headings noted. I suspect that to create a current cross-reference list would take around a day per magazine which equates to around eight months work and is clearly impractical. The second version was then created in December 2009 by Richard Flagg with help from Peter Howarth, Bill Taylor, Ray Towler and myself.

  • George Edward (Ted) Herod DFC

The story is based on information taken from his service record 1, his RAF logbook 2 and RAF Operational Record Books. Information has been crossed referenced where possible, i.e. logbook to operational record books (from the National Archives at Kew.) Photographs are mainly from the family albums. It has been produced for family use and is not intended for general publication. Paul Herod 1 Appendix 1 contains a copy of his service record 2 Appendix 2 contains a copy of his log book 2 Section 1: The early years TED’S FAMILY George Edward (Ted) Herod was born on the 7th August 1920 to Robert Herod and his wife, Caroline. He had a sister, Madge, and 2 surviving brothers, Thomas and William, Sadly, another brother, Robert, had died at an infant age.

  • No. 50 Squadron Royal Air Force in World War Two the Diary of a WWII Bomber Squadron- Part 1 to Part 4, 1937 to 1942
    No. 50 Squadron Royal Air Force In World War Two The Diary of a WWII Bomber Squadron- Part 1 to Part 4, 1937 to 1942. INTRODUCTION This document is a pastiche of copied information; it does not purport to be original in any way. It is therefore without copyright. It simply chronicles certain events from the Squadron’s formation in 1939 onward. The basic concept began with extracts from official documents titled AIR/ 485, 486 & 487, the Squadron Operational Record Books (Form 540 and Appendices Form 541) held by the National Archives at Kew, London which were originally available only for personal viewing at the Archives at Kew, London but which are now available on-line (for a fee). These records very briefly summarise each ‘operational’ mission. Overlaid on this was information on the human losses suffered by 50 Squadron taken from the painstakingly researched and meticulously produced document by Flt. Lt. P.C. Jacobs, RAF and the No. 50 and No. 61 Squadron Association, the “Roll Of Honour 1939 – 1945”. Finally, further information garnered from Internet and journal sources has been over-laid to expand on some of the incidents recorded briefly, by necessity, in these Operational Record Books. Wherever possible, first hand accounts have been referenced. Such is the nature of a document such as this, written some 70 years after the event, that accounts published by some authoritative, and some not so authoritative, sources have had to be taken at face value. Responsibility for any inaccuracies is accepted by the ‘author’ but I have tried to cross reference as much information as possible within the constraints of budget (i.e.
