Podcasts about hawker siddeley

Tony Buttler takes us through the runners and riders that competed with the combined Vickers/English Electric design that became TSR-2, chief amongst them a proposal from Hawker Siddeley. He then goes onto explore TSR-2's path to the first flight, highlighting aspects of the aircraft's advanced design.

Magnus started work with Hawker Siddeley in the autumn of 1964. Providence, destiny, or mere chance guided Magnus to the greener pastures of aviation and away from a seafarer's life toiling in the oppressive and claustrophobic hell-hole of ships engine rooms.

This week our Mavgeeks are taking it right back to the old school, speaking to Flight Lieutenant Andy Bell of 70 Sqn at RAF Brize Norton about his time on arguably the RAF's most well-known Maritime patrol aircraft, The Hawker Siddeley Nimrod. The Mavgeeks hear how it was developed from the world's first commercial jet airliner, the need for a cast iron stomach when the Nimrod was low level cresting the waves, and just casually popping a window open to take a selfie mid-flight- no filter needed

Hawker Siddeley Aviation executive Sqn Ldr John Crampton takes listeners through the aircraft and designers that made up the fascinating history of aircraft manufacturing at Kingston-upon-Thames. He begins with its origins in Sopwith Aviation and continues with the role of Hawker Siddeley Aviation to 1971, when this lecture was given. The talk includes audio recordings featuring several of the famous names involved, including Bill Humble and Philip Lucas. The lecture includes discussion of many Sopwith and Hawker types including the Pup, Cygnet, Hart, Typhoon, Hunter and Sea Hawk. The achievements of the firm in air races and aircraft export campaigns are also portrayed, culminating in the story of the Harrier which proved so successful in both. Sqn Ldr Crampton gave his lecture to a meeting organised by the Royal Aeronautical Society’s Historical Group on 19 January 1971. The recording was digitised thanks to a grant from the RAeS Foundation and the podcast was edited by Eur Ing Mike Stanberry FRAeS.

En la casa todo era alegría, festejo y felicidad. La casa estaba recién construida, y la familia se había mudado hacía apenas tres horas. Además del festejo por la casa nueva, se brindaba por la felicidad de una pareja de recién casados. Así mismo, en el jet de fabricación británica, todo era festejo y alegría también. El avión estaba recién reparado, y volvía a la casa de su dueño, el magnate liberiano Hawker Siddeley. El ingeniero de vuelo, Joseph Dovillie, inglés de cuarenta y un años de edad, se sentía feliz también. Pero la tragedia los envolvió a todos. El avión falló a poco del despegue. Se vino a tierra y chocó contra la casa. Diecisiete personas murieron en el accidente, entre ellos la pareja de recién casados. La casa y el avión se incendiaron y quedaron reducidos a cenizas. Todo esto ocurrió en Khartoum, Sudán, en abril de 1983. Hay tragedias de la vida real que parece que fueran pura fantasía. Llegan a ser una acumulación de hechos y de circunstancias que parecen más propios de una película de horror que de la vida que todos suponemos debiera ser tranquila, feliz y ordenada. He aquí toda una familia que celebra una doble felicidad, natural en cualquier familia: una casa nueva, recién comprada, y una pareja nueva, recién casada. Y he aquí un avión jet ultramoderno, que despega airoso del aeropuerto, para realizar un viaje que se supone es de placer. Pero en cuestión de minutos: la caída del avión, el impacto en la casa, el incendio que estalla pavoroso, y ambos eventos felices que se convierten en escenas de horror y de espanto. De la felicidad más intensa se pasa, en un momento, a la desgracia, la ruina y la muerte. ¿Qué conclusión podemos sacar de esto? Una conclusión tan vieja como el hombre mismo: la muerte acecha a cada paso; por lo tanto, siempre hay que estar preparado. Hoy estamos vivos, sanos, bien provistos y felices. Mañana podemos estar enfermos, agónicos, arruinados o muertos. ¿Cuál es la actitud que nos conviene adoptar ante esta fragilidad e inseguridad de la vida humana? Estar preparados para cualquier eventualidad. Y como el Único que nos promete seguridad permanente y vida eterna es Cristo, entonces hoy, en este momento mismo, cuando el bienestar nos rodea —hoy y no mañana— más vale que recibamos a Cristo como Señor y Salvador.

In this edition, we talk to Museum Co-Curator Daniel Hunt and Project Leader Aaron Simmons about the Hawker Siddeley Kestrel, how it got to Wings, and why it is so important in aviation history.For more about the Kestrel project:www.WingsMuseum.co.uk  and  https://www.facebook.com/wingskestrel/ With thanks to Brooklands Museum for their assistance. www.BrooklandsMuseum.com 

Planned to succeed the Harrier even before the Harrier, flew, the P.1154 was the joint winner of a NATO competition to produce an advanced S/VTOL aircraft. Michael Pryce tells a fascinating but familiar story of how organisational, financial, technical, and political problems collided leading to Denis Healy cancelling the project in 1965. Pryce then examines the project’s legacy, both technically and as a lesson in advanced project planning. The lecture is followed by a wide-ranging question and answer session which compares the P.1154 story to many of the issues facing the industry today. Dr Michael Pryce addressed a meeting organised by the Royal Aeronautical Society’s Historical Group on 12 April 2012. The lecture was introduced by Peter Elliott and the podcast was edited by Mike Stanberry FRAeS.

The story of the rapid expansions and retrenchments in our industry are explored by Ron Smith’s investigation into the six phases of the British industry after the Wright Brothers first flew in 1903. Starting with the period of exciting experimentation before 1914, Dr Smith gives us a snapshot of the major firms that were part of the industry in 1910. He then moves onto the second stage, the rapid developments brought World War I and gives a flavour of the larger and more diverse companies that made aeroplanes during the period. Smith goes onto discusses the deep retrenchment after 1918, a period where manufacturers had to diversify and compete for each requirement issued by Government, and which led to the first phase of rationalisation in 1928 and 1934-35. The fourth phase looks at the increase in production brought about the preparations and then fighting the Second Wold War. Smith concludes by briefly looking at the industry up to the second period of rationalisation of the industry, with the formation of the British Aircraft Corporation & Hawker Siddeley, and then modern times with the establishment of British Aerospace and beyond. These last two sections of the lecture were bolstered by the question and answer sessions, which prompts questions and comments from those who worked and shaped post-war projects. Dr Ron Smith gave the lecture to the Royal Aeronautical Society’s Historical Group on 2 February 2004. The podcast was edited by Mike Stanberry FRAeS and it was digitised thanks to a grant from the Royal Aeronautical Society Foundation.

Hawker Siddeley test pilot A. W. “Bill” Bedford gives his audience an insight into the challenges facing test pilots in the 1960s and the years ahead. He also highlights the role and key qualities required of a test pilot, together with an appeal for the pilots and scientist to work closer together. The recording includes a fascinating discussion from the floor, with points raised by the leading test pilots of the day, including Brian Trubshaw, D. P. Davies and Capt. Eric “Winkle” Brown. There are also tributes from, amongst others, Sir Sydney Camm and Sir Morien Morgan. Bill Bedford gave the inaugural Royal Aeronautical Society Test Pilots Group Lecture on 16 April 1964 and the lecture was chaired by the President of the Royal Aeronautical Society, Professor A. R. Collar. The podcast was edited by Mike Stanberry FRAeS and it was digitised thanks to a grant from the Royal Aeronautical Society Foundation.

By for the most successful vertical take off fighter ever built.  The Harrier was a technological success for Hawker Siddeley that produced a fast jet fighter that could land on a runway and in a ploughed field!         Images under Creative Commons licence by Alan Wilson and Anthony Noble.

This wireless show came from Wales when the Radio Academy decided to hold its annual conference in the Welsh capital. I remember flying over with Dan-Air in what must have been an ancient Hawker Siddeley aircraft which had incandescent lights in the cockpit. It was like a flying underground train - and the flight from Amsterdam took two hours. But I digress. This show was really a commentary on the state of UK radio at the start of the new Millennium. What concerns me is that 11 years later a lot of what is discussed here is only just happening. Nice to rediscover the old recordings of Kenny Everett at the Beeb. The programme also features interviews with Howard Rose, then editor of the Radio Magazine, and Quentin Howard talking about DAB.
