  • Not Bad for a Fifty Year Old!
    Issue No 32 Autumn 2014 Not bad for a fifty year old! In this issue Chairman’s Introduction Page 2 Wings and Wheels 2014 Page 3 Engineering Report Page 9 General Aviation – the future Page 12 Visitors to XM655 Page 13 Vulcan Identification Page 15 Notice of Annual General Meeting Page 18 Around the World in 19 Days Page 18 Picture credits Page 23 The Chairman’s Introduction Charles Brimson As we approach the end of 2014 it is with a sense of quiet pride that all of us who are the custodians of XM655 can reflect on the success of the two notable celebrations that we have marked during the year. We started in February with the 30th anniversary of the Vulcan arriving at Wellesbourne in 1984, the start of ‘655’s second career when the aircraft was bought by businessman Roy Jacobsen with his ambitious plans for the Vulcan to fly on the British and American air show circuits based at Wellesbourne and captained by Joe L’Estrange. Alas, the plans never came to pass, but Roy’s loss was MaPS’ (and therefore all military aircraft enthusiasts’) gain as for 30 years we have been the proud custodians of the world’s only Olympus 301-powered Vulcan able to move (on the ground at least) under its own power. In November, we will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the ‘birth’ of XM655 at the Avro works in Woodford and Chadderton back in November 1964. Our Vulcan was the third last of 136 manufactured by Avro and for the last thirty years has been the youngest surviving example, although at the ripe old age of 50 ‘young’ is perhaps a relative description.

  • Scholarships and Bursaries to Meet One Another
    The Air League Newsletter Issue 4: July/August 2015 REMEMBERING THE FEW he summer air show season is with us again and with it comes the annual opportunity for the public at large to see close up the equipment and personnel who continue to provide our air defences. The biggest gathering as usual will be at Tthe Royal International Air Tattoo being held at RAF Fairford from July 17-19 which will see international participants from air forces and army and naval air squadrons from all over the world, and also a nostalgic pageant of vintage and classic warbirds representing a century of military aviation. Other air displays will take place in many locations around Great Britain, from Prestwick to Bournemouth as well as at such well-known airfields as Duxford and Old Warden, where newly restored veteran aircraft demonstrate the ongoing enthusiasm and dedication that keeps alive interest in aviation history for the benefit of future generations. The shrinking size of the UK’s own air power is very noticeable at RIAT, where once dozens of operational units proudly displayed their squadron colours to the public. Although this reflects the reality of lost capabilities and depleted numbers, the ethos and professionalism of today’s Few will still feature strongly, thanks to the appearances of the Red Arrows and the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, and various individual aircraft displays. To commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain a Typhoon of No 29 Squadron has been repainted in the 1940 wartime colour scheme with the identification code of the aircraft flown by Flt Lt James Brindley Nicholson, the only Fighter Command pilot awarded the Victoria Cross during the battle.

  • Replacing Amtrak: Privatization, Regionalization, and Liquidation
    P o l i c y S t u d y N o . 2 3 5 , O c t o b e r 1 9 9 7 RReeppllaacciinngg AAmmttrraakk:: A Blueprint for Sustainable Passenger Rail Service by Joseph Vranich EXECUTIVE SUMMARY mtrak is a failed national experiment. By its own admission, Amtrak is headed for bankruptcy unless Washington provides another multi-billion-dollar bail-out. Another federal rescue is A unjustified considering that federal and state subsidies to Amtrak since its inception in 1971 are nearing $22.5 billion, an amount out of proportion to Amtrak’s usefulness in most of the nation. The federal government does not run a national airline. It doesn’t operate a national bus company. There’s no justification for a national railroad passenger operation. America needs passenger trains in selected areas, but doesn’t need Amtrak’s antiquated route system, poor service, unreasonable operating deficits, and capital investment program with low rates of return. Amtrak’s failures result in part because it is a public monopoly—the very type of organization least able to innovate. This study reveals an Amtrak credibility crisis in the way it reports ridership figures, glosses over dwindling market share, understates subsidies, issues misleading cost-recovery claims, offers doubtful promises regarding high-speed rail, lacks proper authority for the freight business it recently launched, and misrepresents privatization as its applies to Amtrak. It’s time to liquidate Amtrak, privatize and regionalize parts of it, permit alternative operators to transform some long-distance trains into land-cruise trains, and stop service on hopeless routes.

  • COF-IPS-03 Digital Displacement for Non-Passenger Rail
    Digital Displacement for Non-Passenger Rail (COF-IPS-03) Final Report Gordon Voller, Engineering Manager, Artemis Intelligent Power Ltd Win Rampen, Founder Director, Artemis Intelligent Power Ltd Stephen Laird, Research Manager, Artemis Intelligent Power Ltd Andy Martlew, T & RS Development Engineer, Direct Rail Services Paul Allen, Professor of Railway Engineering, University of Huddersfield Messaoud Mehafdi, Senior Lecturer in Accountancy, University of Huddersfield 18 June 2020 1 Executive Summary This project studies the feasibility of using Digital Displacement hydraulics in non- passenger rail vehicle applications in order to reduce emissions from diesel powered vehicles and provide more efficient transfer of power from future alternative fuel and electric powered vehicles. Artemis Intelligent Power is the global leader in Digital Displacement hydraulics – a fundamental innovation which offers a radical increase in efficiency and control for a wide range of applications.
