On this day, the first aircraft took flight in Singapore, when a Bristol Boxkite biplane piloted by Joseph Christiaens rose into the air from the old Race Course at Farrer Park. It was a flight demonstration at the first aviation meet held in Singapore. To mark the centenary of this historic occasion, the Singapore Philatelic Museum has opened a new exhibition titled Singapore Takes Flight: A Hundred Years.

  • Police Aviation News
    Police Aviation—History INTRODUCTION As far as I am aware, this history of the varied methods by which the law enforcement forces of the world arrived in a position whereby, by the late 1990s, most of them have been able to under- take air patrols is the first attempted. The content is exhaustive as possible in the face of a de- gree of secrecy and a certain lack of inertia. The meaning of the word “police” is, I recall from my training days over thirty years ago, the means by which governments endeavor to keep the peace. Although still valid in many parts of the world, this statement to fledgling British police was probably never intended to encompass the sheer diversity of modern law enforcement. Written in the days of Victoria, it was inward look- ing and took no account of the extensive para-military activity that now typifies policing across the world. For this reason the researching and compilation of this book has been complicated by the requirement to make arbitrary decisions about just which law enforcement bodies to include in the survey. Instances of this can be clearly seen from the coverage of the United States of America [USA], the country where the ground swell of law enforcement aviation was, and is, most clearly to be seen. In the USA there are thousands of law enforcement units across the length and breadth of this massive country, some use aircraft. In addition to the hundreds of police, marshall and sheriff units, each thrusting forward, individually and mutually, in the battle against law breakers, there are the large Federal organizations, most of which give the impression of having other, more pressing, duties to perform than law enforcement.
