This article presents a very brief history of the airlines associated with the creation of Ansett Australia and also details the fleet list, containing references to all aircraft (as can be identified by the author) which have been associated in some capacity with Ansett and its predecessors. The list does not propose to be complete. This is the first time a list has been published and it can be assumed that there will be aircraft not accounted for. The author would welcome additional information from readers. The aircraft have been listed by airline so as to give a clearer picture of the companies involved. Due to the size of the fleet list and space limitations, information such as previous identities, aircraft incidents, subsequent operators etc has not been included.

  • Lessons from Sir Reginald Ansett
    LESSONS FROM SIR REGINALD ANSETT Reg Ansett became one of the wealthiest and most influential businessmen in Australia, with interests over a vast range of industries from television stations and air transport to credit card organisations. However, he would describe himself as an aviator. He was born in February 1909 in Inglewood, Victoria. His father owned a bicycle repair shop. When war broke out in 1914 his father enlisted and his mother and young Reg moved to Melbourne, settling in Camberwell. He left school at fourteen to find a job to help the family finances. He commenced work at a knitting factory becoming a highly-skilled sewing machine mechanic, until he was twenty-one. By then his dreams had been full of daring flight, particularly of his hero, Charles Kingsford Smith. He cashed in on an insurance policy to raise the funds for flying lessons and became the 419th Australian to be granted a licence. Unfortunately, at the time, the Depression was beginning to hurt the economy and opportunities for young pilots were limited. Showing his entrepreneurial spirit he decided that there was income to be made from growing peanuts in the Northern Territory, so he took a ship to Darwin. He soon realised it was not a well thought through plan and instead worked as an axeman clearing trees for surveyors. However, the experience in the vast distances of the Northern Territory confirmed to him that there was a great future in the transport business. He returned to Melbourne, purchased a second-hand Sudebaker car and decided to establish himself in the West of Victoria and began and taxi service from Hamilton to Ballarat.

  • The Bloodhound Guided Missile and the Hawker Harrier “Jump Jet”
    Draft for joint Herbert Simon Institute/Manchester Institute of Innovation Research Seminar, 1st April 2011 Practice in Communities: how engineers create solutions ‐ the Bloodhound Guided Missile and the Hawker Harrier “jump jet”. Jonathan Aylen* and Mike Pryce* Manchester Institute of Innovation Research Manchester Business School University of Manchester “Every aeroplane is different ‐ a self‐optimising shambles” Ralph Hooper, Harrier project designer Aerospace engineers face the task of developing a project from overall design concept through to working prototype and on into sustained use. Engineers often work in small groups when developing an initial concept. Once the basic concept has been agreed they may work in similarly small groups, or as part of larger teams to develop key components of a system. At this stage key design tasks are defined and delegated and then the resulting components are tested and integrated to build a prototype (Vincenti, 1990). Individual sub‐assemblies are usually developed in parallel. So, aeronautical engineering is often seen as a cyclical process of analysis and synthesis, although in practice it is seldom so neat and linear, as the opening quote from a leading practitioner, Ralph Hooper, illustrates. The nature of engineering design is complex, with designers having to cope with many systems and components interacting in dynamic ways. The breadth and depth of knowledge required means no one person can carry out all the tasks of engineering design. Group or team working is essential. Engineering design is an innately social activity. However, mastering the specific skills of any one discipline, and also learning how to utilise the knowledge gained within the group or team, often depends on the abilities of key individuals.

  • BEECH D18S/ D18C & RCAF EXPEDITER Mk.3 (Built at Wichita, Kansas Between 1945 and 1957)
    Last updated 10 March 2021 BEECH 18 PRODUCTION LIST Compiled by Geoff Goodall PART 2: BEECH D18S/ D18C & RCAF EXPEDITER Mk.3 (Built at Wichita, Kansas between 1945 and 1957) Beech D18S VH-FIE (A-808) flown by owner Rod Lovell at Mangalore, Victoria in April 1984. Photo by Geoff Goodall The D18S was the first new commercial Beechcraft model at the end of World War II. It began a production run of 1,800 Beech 18 variants for the post-war market (D18S, D18C, E18S, G18S, H18), all built by Beech Aircraft Company at their Wichita Kansas plant. The “S” suffix indicated it was powered by the reliable 450hp P&W Wasp Junior series. The first D18S c/n A-1 was first flown in October 1945 at Beech field, Wichita. On 5 December 1945 the D18S received CAA Approved Type Certificate No.757, the first to be issued to any post-war aircraft. The first delivery of a new model D18S to a customer departed Wichita the following day. From 1947 the D18C model was available as an executive version with more powerful 525hp Continental R-9A radials, also offered as the D18C-T passenger transport approved by CAA for feeder airlines. Beech assigned c/n prefix "A-" to D18S production, and "AA-" to the small number of D18Cs. Total production of the D18S, D18C and Canadian Expediter Mk.3 models was 1,035 aircraft.

Although an Indian route had been pioneered before the First World War, after it ended, fourteen years would pass before the route was established on a permanent basis. The research provides an explanation for the late start and subsequent slow development of the India route. The overall finding is that progress was held back by a combination of interconnected factors operating in both Britain and the Persian Gulf region. These included economic, political, administrative, diplomatic, technological, and cultural factors. The arguments are developed through a methodology that focuses upon two key theoretical concepts which relate, firstly, to interwar civil aviation as part of a dimension of empire, and secondly, to the history of aviation as a new technology.
