  • “I Have the Fokker in Sight!”

    “I Have the Fokker in Sight!”

    “I have the Fokker in sight!” After some delays caused by tropical cyclone “Gita” the first of our two Fokker F27 Friendship aircraft arrived from New Zealand on Monday 27 February. Now registered VH-EWH, the Friendship departed Auckland on Sunday 26 February, stopping to refuel at Norfolk Island before proceeding to Coolangatta to clear customs. The intention was to proceed to Wollongong that same day, but bad weather in the Illawarra dictated an overnight stay at Coolangatta. The second aircraft will be ferried sometime in the next few months. In Australian service the Fokker F27 Friendship was operated from the late 1950’s by many of the domestic and regional airlines. Some of the Australian airlines which operated the type include Trans Australia Airlines, Ansett ANA, East West, Queensland Airlines, Bill Peach’s Aircruising Australia and Airlines of NSW. The type was also operated by the Department of Civil Aviation and CSIRO. The Fokker F27 was developed during the early 1950’s and was intended to compete with or replace piston engine aircraft such as the DC-3. It uses Rolls Royce Dart turboprop engines, is pressurised and, in typical configuration seats around 50 passengers. Our F27s were most recently in service with a company that provided services to New Zealand Post and our Kiwi readers would be well familiar with the sight and unique sounds of the F27s as they made their way around the mail runs. Convair CV-440 progress The return to flight project for our Convair CV-440 made significant progress this month with completion of the new engine installation.

    TAA / Australian Airlines 25 Year Club Newsletter

    TAA / Australian Airlines 25 Year Club Newsletter No. 104 December 2019 Editor: John Wren President’s Report We should find out about the plans for QF’s 100th birthday celebrations in early 2020 [the actual birthday is in November 2020 but they are using the whole year to maximise the exposure]. We are hopeful that the TAA Museum will be able to participate with a special display of QF historical material and memorabilia. More later. The Tour Groups to the Museum have just started to slow down ahead of our closure for the festive season. Thursday pm the 5th December is our last day for 2019 – open again on Tuesday 4th February. We welcome Geoff and Vicki Kerton to the Museum as Volunteers. Just a friendly reminder if you are having a clean up at home, or downsizing, we will look after your donations of TAA and Australian Airlines memorabilia at the Museum. It would be a shame to have the family throw it out. The Museum has upgraded all its computers to Windows 10 as Windows 7 will no longer be supported by Microsoft from early January. You might look at your own situation at home. An Age [24/10/19] review of Hawaiian Airlines concluded with “native birdsong plays on entry and exit, and traditional Hawaiian music as your coming in to land. This airline is also lucky – in 1941 one of the airlines old eight seater Sikorsky’s was hit by Japanese fire at Pearl Harbour, which set an engine alight. Another stray bullet, however, hit a fire extinguisher, which put out the blaze! Well, it’s another year gone with 2020 just around the corner.

    ADF Serials Telegraph Newsletter

    John Bennett ADF Serials Telegraph Newsletter Volume 10 Issue 3: Winter 2020 Welcome to the ADF-Serials Telegraph. Articles for those interested in Australian Military Aircraft History and Serials Our Editorial and contributing Members in this issue are: John ”JB” Bennett, Garry “Shep” Shepherdson, Gordon “Gordy” Birkett and Patience “FIK” Justification As stated on our Web Page; http://www.adf-serials.com.au/newsletter.htm “First published in November 2002, then regularly until July 2008, the ADF-Serials Newsletter provided subscribers various news and articles that would be of interest to those in Australian Military Heritage. Darren Crick was the first Editor and Site Host; the later role he maintains. The Newsletter from December 2002 was compiled by Jan Herivel who tirelessly composed each issue for nearly six years. She was supported by contributors from a variety of backgrounds on subjects ranging from 1914 to the current period. It wasn’t easy due to the ebb and flow of contributions, but regular columns were kept by those who always made Jan’s deadlines. Jan has since left this site to further her professional ambitions. As stated “The Current ADF-Serials Telegraph is a more modest version than its predecessor, but maintains the direction of being an outlet and circulating Email Newsletter for this site”. Words from me I would argue that it is not a modest version anymore as recent years issues are breaking both page records populated with top quality articles! John and I say that comment is now truly being too modest! As stated, the original Newsletter that started from December 2002 and ended in 2008, and was circulated for 38 Editions, where by now...excluding this edition, the Telegraph has been posted 44 editions since 2011 to the beginning of this year, 2020.

MANAGER’S MESSAGE YOUR MAGAZINE NEEDS YOU defencebank.com.au Welcome to the Spring 2019 edition 1800 033 139 of Wings, we hope all our readers and contributors enjoyed our Winter (first) edition in the modernised format. With the ongoing arrival of the F-35A ushering in a new fighter presence, we take a step back in this edition to the Mirage era, largely stimulated by the Friends of The 38 Mirage (FOTM) reunion organised by Barry “Bones” Einam (see page 56). WGCDR Marty Susans (retd) also kindly allowed us to publish a precis of his book The RAAF Mirage Story (page 20).
