fWotD Episode 3345: No. 1 Aircraft Depot RAAF Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 2 July 2026, is No. 1 Aircraft Depot RAAF.No. 1 Aircraft Depot (No. 1 AD) was a maintenance unit of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). Formed in July 1921 at RAAF Point Cook, Victoria, it relocated to the nearby RAAF Laverton in March 1926. As well as servicing aircraft and other equipment, in its early years the depot supported survey flights in Australia and the Pacific region. It was also responsible for training maintenance staff.No. 1 AD's strength increased from 350 staff in the 1930s to over 2,000 during World War II, when it assembled, tested and repaired aircraft ranging from Tiger Moth trainers to Spitfire fighters to B-17 Flying Fortress heavy bombers. It also undertook aircraft research and development.Shortly after World War II, No. 1 AD introduced the first jets into RAAF service. In 1961, it ceased airframe maintenance, but continued to service aero engines. By the 1970s, the depot's main focus was ground-based equipment, though it still handled some aircraft components. No. 1 AD was disbanded in December 1994, its functions having been taken over by other units and private contractors. At the time of its disbandment, it was the oldest RAAF unit in continuous operation.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:38 UTC on Thursday, 2 July 2026.For the full current version of the article, see No. 1 Aircraft Depot RAAF on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Kevin.

Ian A Anderson in conversation with David Eastaugh https://frootsmag.com/ https://www.ianaanderson.com/ https://ghostsfromthebasement.bandcamp.com/ Anderson first performed in his home town of Weston-super-Mare as a member of the Backwater Jook Band and came to prominence as a member of the Bristol based country blues scene of the mid to late 1960s, performing live and on record, both solo, with Al Jones and Elliott Jackson as the trio "Anderson Jones Jackson", and as a duo with Mike Cooper.  After two EPs, he recorded his first album, Stereo Death Breakdown, as Ian Anderson's Country Blues Band, which was released by Liberty/United Artists in 1969. In December 1969, with John Turner, he conceived the record label The Village Thing, for which he was also a producer.

I sat down with Richmond “Ditch” Harding, one of the most respected ag pilots around, to talk about his decades in the seat - from the early Tiger Moth days right through to the modern era of agricultural aviation.Ditch has a wealth of stories, sharp insights, and that trademark mix of honesty and humour you only get from a bloke who's seen it all. We got into how he started out, the aircraft he's flown, the changes he's watched unfold, and what's stayed the same through it all - the people, the passion, and the sheer love of flying.

Join Peter Windsor as he talks at length with Peter Wright, the former BRM and Lotus engineer who, in a career that began in the late 1960s, not only pioneered ground effect with Colin Chapman but who also subsequently worked for the FIA on such safety developments as the survival cell, the halo, the HANS collar, circuit barriers and composite helmet design. Along the way, Peter also found time to create his own self-sustaining glider, to fly a Tiger Moth and to restore a Bugatti T51.  Peter Wright spoke to Peter Windsor from his home in Presteigne, on the Welsh-English border, just before Christmas. This uncut recording of the conversation revolves around the recent publication of Peter's autobiography ( "How Did I Get Here?", which can be ordered via email from www.howdidigethere.co.uk) and includes several sections not featured in our YouTube video. It begins with Peter admitting that, yes, he had at one point been a bit of a hippy...With thanks to Jetcraft, the world's largest buyer and seller of executive jets:https://jetcraft.comTo OEM Exclusive, the passionate suppliers of OEM upgrades for exotic and high-performance vehiclesAnd to TrackNinja, a lap-timer and data app designed to help users improve their on-track car and driver performance through analysis and an innovative Data Garage.  A lite version is free; the loaded version is US$9.99 pcm or $99.99 yearlyhttps://trackninja.appFollow @peterdwindsor on Bluesky, Twitter (X) and InstaCheck out our new Spanish- and Portuguese-language YouTube channels:www.youtube.com/peterwindsorAlpinestars:https://alpinestars.comOscar Razor:Australia's highly-rated, 5-blade razors for men and women https://oscarrazor.com.auInstagram (Hindi):@peterdwindsorWe support the Race Against Dementia:https://raceagainstdementia.com#standwithukraine Nick: you're always with us Visit: https://youtube.com/peterwindsor for F1 videos past, present and future

Michael ‘Mike' Howlett's talks about his experience of flying successive generations of aircraft during his career as a pilot spanning over 70 years. Having learnt to fly on a Tiger Moth bi-plane, he flew first-generation jet fighters (the Meteor and Vampire), then the first generation long-haul, land-based piston-engine airliners in the form of the Boeing Stratocruiser. This was followed by flying the first of the long-range, swept-wing jets, the Boeing 707, and then the first of the ultra-large passenger aircraft, the Boeing 747 ‘Jumbo'. These aircraft not only ushered in different eras of air travel with a new level of passenger experience, they posed new challenges for their operators and aircrew. Mike provides fascinating insights into these changes. Mike Howlett was interviewed by Sir George Cox as part of the Royal Aeronautical Society/National Aerospace Library's oral history project ‘If I only didn't do it that way…….” Capturing history from the horse's mouth to inspire today's aeronautical professionals. The recording was edited by edited by Eur Ing Mike Stanberry FRAeS.

Amanda Harrison attempted to recreate the first solo flight by a woman from England to Australia in 1930. That original journey was undertaken by the pioneering Amy Johnson in a Gipsy Moth, so Harrison, attempting to be as true to the challenge as possible, undertook hers in a 1942 Tiger Moth. Unfortunately, she had to abandon her mission due to airspace restrictions in 2019, but she did have some adventures on the way. In this special podcast, Harrison talks to host Adam Thorn about her incredible flight – and what's next. 

British pilot Mark Brooke has flown many different airplanes, from light singles and 727s for DHL to the Dassault Falcon 7X and even a Bucker Jungmeister. Hear how he handled a maintenance faux pas in a Beech Baron and his own faux pas on a downwind landing in a Tiger Moth.

National service has become part of the mythology of a braver, stronger Britain, where young men did their duty for their country and ended up having a damn good time doing it. But did they? What did people really think of National Service — and why were so many of them utterly relieved when it came to an end?    Ros Taylor talks to Richard Vinen, a historian at King's College London and author of National Service: A Generation in Uniform, and Martin Stone, who joined the RAF in 1950.    • “I did have one near death mistake there… I thought that's it, I've probably had it.” – Martin Stone  • “The category of people who are keenest on it at the beginning are public schoolboys. By the end of the 1950s they're deferring.” – Richard Vinen  • “The best week I ever had there was flying sea cadets round in a Tiger Moth, doing some aerobatics for them. A Tiger Moth is easy to fly, but difficult to fly well.” – Martin Stone  • “It's balls.” – Richard Vinen on the notion that men got to meet others from different social classes.    Written and presented by Ros Taylor.

In this interview with Leona Cobham, granddaughter of pioneering pilot and aviation advocate, Sir Alan Cobham, we talk about her wonderful middle grade book, Flying Circus Takes to the Skies, which features the adventures of four anthropomorphic vintage aircraft: Spiff, the Spitfire; Vul, the Vulcan; Tom, the Tomcat; and Woody, the Tiger Moth. Leona was inspired to write the book by her experience working with children and her concern over boys becoming ever-more reluctant readers. She created these characters in the hopes that boys would get excited about both reading and aviation history. Her next installment of Airplane Adventures will include a female Nighthawk.The story is well-complemented by line drawings from aviation artist Timothy O'Brien. https://www.timobrienart.co.uk/Leona's book is very thoughtfully available in two English versions - one with British spellings, and one with American, so be sure to select the one appropriate for your young reader.

It's the final MavGeeks for this season and there's a definite "End of summer camp" vibe going on. Alex is taking selfies, crying into a hankie and promising to keep in touch with everyone, while Gini is handing out homemade wristbands to make sure we are all MavGeeks friends forever. Gini and Alex take a look back at some special aircraft from this summer's Duxford Airshow, including the Catalina Flying Boat (Say whaaat!) the B-17 Flying Fortress (swoon) with a nod to the fantastic Tiger Moth (taking it back to the old school). Gini speaks with owners and pilots of these fabulous aircraft, and manages not to annoy them too much or get herself arrested… try harder next time Mavgirl! It may be this season's final episode, but our Mavs are back with a Halloween Special and more obsessing over Military aircraft up to Christmas.
