RAF Fersfield (originally known as RAF Winfarthing) is a former World War II airfield located southwest of Norwich, Norfolk.
Built in 1943/1944, the airfield was originally a satellite of RAF Knettishall. It was constructed to Class-A bomber specifications, with a main runway (07/25), and two secondary runways (01/19, 13/31) of . Accommodations for about 2,000 personnel were in Nissen huts along with an operations block and two T-2 hangars. Winfarthing was assigned USAAF station number 140; Fersfield was reassigned 554.
Fersfield is most notable as the operational base for Operation Aphrodite, a secret plan for drone B-17s (redesignated as BQ-7s) to be used against German V-1 flying bomb sites, submarine pens, or deep fortifications that had resisted conventional bombing.
From July 1944 to January 1945, approximately 25 high-time Fortresses (mainly B-17Fs) were assigned to the 562d Bomb Squadron, 388th Bomb Group stationed at RAF Knettishall, along with two B-24s from the United States Navy (PB4Y-1), to be used in Aphrodite missions. Originally RAF Woodbridge was going to be used, however Fersfield was chosen as a better location due to its relative remoteness. The plan was to use these stripped down war weary bombers as explosive packed, radio controlled flying bombs. Pilots would take-off manually and then parachute to safety leaving the bomber under the control of another aircraft and then flown to its target in Europe.
The first mission took place on 4 August 1944 The target was a V-1 site in Pas-de-Calais. In the first phase of the mission, two motherships and two drones took off. Unfortunately, one of the drones went out of control shortly after the first crewman had bailed out. It crashed near the coastal village of Orford, destroying two acres of trees and digging an enormous crater. The body of the other crewman was never found. The second drone was successfully dispatched toward the Pas-de-Calais. Unfortunately, clouds obscured the television view from the nose just as the drone approached the target site, and the plane missed the target by 500 feet. The second phase of the mission fared little better. One robot BQ-7 had a control malfunction before it could dive onto its target and was shot down by German flak. The other one missed its target by 500 yards.
Several subsequent missions were attempted, one of them being a Navy PB4Y-1 which exploded over the village of Blythburgh, Suffolk, killing Lt. Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. the brother of future President John F. Kennedy.
The last Aphrodite mission was on January 20, 1945, against a power station at Oldenberg. Both drones missed their targets by several miles. After this last effort, the *Aphrodite* concept was abandoned as being unfeasible, and the USAAF scrapped the effort. The reality was that 1944 technology was simply not good enough to do the kind of job that was required.
With the end of hostilities, the RAF had no further use for the airfield, and it was closed, eventually being disposed of by the Air Ministry in February 1946. For several years, the airfield was used as a 2 mile long racing circuit first used on 22 April 1951. Meetings were held through to 1952, but at the end of the year the RAC requested changes be made which were beyond the means of the Eastern Counties Motor Club, which organised the events. The club moved on to Snetterton instead.
Today, much of the concreted areas of the airfield have been removed for hardcore, with the airfield area being returned to agricultural uses. A surprising number of buildings exist, some on the former airfield, which are being used by agriculture, along with both T-2 hangars. Others are in the wooded areas south of the former airfield in various states of decay. The perimeter track and runways still exist, although greatly reduced in width, being used as agricultural farm roads. Other roads in the area, identified by "Airfield Road" signs, are the last vestiges of the former airfield.


An all new Billet Aluminum Nose Wheel Fork
The Solution is Here
Since the 1970’s, Burt Rutan’s canard designs, and their derivatives, have been flying almost exclusively using cast aluminum nose wheel hardware. This hardware has slowly evolved over time, yet still, a number of failures continue to happen. Both the inferior strength of cast aluminum, and very rudimentary way of assembling these parts, the community has had to deal with a poor nose wheel system as a whole. With a history of broken forks over the last 4 decades, 323 Composites decided it was time to bring a solution to the market.
Problem #1: Inadequate strength
Cast aluminum is an “affordable” way to make parts, but lacks the consistency and strength of genuine aircraft grade 6061 billet aluminum. Up until now, canard owners have had to stray away from anything but smooth runways, for fear of damaging the nose wheel hardware on landing. During destructive testing of my personal cast nose wheel fork, it was shown to fail at a mere 500lbs of static loading.
Problem #2: Improper bearing pre-loading
The vast majority of flying nose wheels use tapered roller bearings. While these bearings are an excellent application, they require a precise pre-loading force to ensure they operate correctly. Today, the most common method of installing these bearings incorporates the use of nose wheel bushings. The problem is that each nose fork, wheel, and bushing are not matched sets, so they all must be sent to a machine shop to ensure they assemble together properly. This is both a hassle and unnecessary expense.
The 323 Solution
In 2017, 323 Composites teamed up with Alteg Systems, and Pretoria Engineering to bring a refined solution to these problems. Over the course of several months and multiple prototype testing, we were able to engineer an all new 6061 aluminum nose wheel fork that is over 3 times stronger than the current cast fork we tested. The new nose fork not only wins in the strength category, but also solves the wheel bearing pre-loading issue by utilizing the already available Matco Axle, part #WHLAXE27. This Matco Axle works with both the Gerdes, and Matco wheels currently on the market. For a serious upgrade, BUY NOW


The universe is a fusion of mysterious stones. Some of them are dangerous objects, others are not so dangerous. However, NASA also keeps us informed about what is happening around our planet. The space agency has issued a warning that another giant rock is rapidly approaching Earth next week.
A giant meteorite estimated to be close to Earth soon has been dubbed the “Monster Planet Killer”. This giant meteorite, named 2013 BO76, is capable of destroying the entire Earth if it touches any part of the planet.
According to scientists, a huge meteorite is likely to fly close to Earth’s orbit on March 24. Although the forecasts of scientists do not report possible damage to the Earth this time, they will remain vigilant. This is because the Earth’s gravity can cause a collision.
The meteorite was seen almost nine years ago, on January 17, 2013. At that time, NASA issued warnings for 2013 BO76, which was photographed on March 7, 2013. It is said that he was at a distance of almost 15 million miles from the Earth.
The meteorite, which is expected to come close to Earth on March 24, is 500 to 600 feet high.
The meteorite will make its closest approach to Earth on March 24, just three miles from our home planet, according to NASA scientists. Given the potential for destruction, NASA scientists are constantly monitoring the meteorite.
If you want to see this meteor, you can see it online as part of the Virtual Telescope Project at 22:00 on March 24th.
Earth’s biggest threat
Although asteroids usually come close to Earth, one asteroid currently poses the greatest threat. An asteroid called Bennu is expected to fly close to Earth in the next couple of centuries. According to scientists, the asteroid can approach us as close as possible on September 24, 2182. At this time, it will have about a 1 in 2700 chance of colliding with our home planet.

“As the United States Air Force continues to extend the service life of their aircraft the Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (ASIP) has had to refine the methods it uses to analyze and predict fatigue crack growth. Through the use StressCheck®, coupled with AFGROW, we in A-10 ASIP have been able to more accurately model, predict and analyze critical aircraft structure for the A-10 and other types of structure for non-A-10 system managers. This also allows us within the A-10 to more accurately assess risk for decision makers, streamline aircraft inductions into scheduled maintenance and reduce cost for total life cycle management.”

Edinburgh Airport has warned that nearby residents could suffer from increased aircraft noise due to changes to the regular flight path.
Maintenance work will be carried out on Edinburgh Airport’s main runway, closing it for the next three weekends between 11.00pm – 5.30am as they resurface touchdown zones.
Many places in the nearby area will be affected including Bonnyrigg, Loanhead, Fairmilehead, Colinton, Sighthill, South Gyle, Oxgangs, Kirkliston and Bo’ness.
Gordon Dewar, chief executive of Edinburgh Airport, said:
As the airport continues to grow our runway is subjected to heavier loads and more frequent aircraft movements.
These heavy forces can cause the runway surface to degrade over time.
The work we’re carrying out over the next few weeks will involve resurfacing a number of areas on the runway, particularly at the aircraft touchdown zones.
As we’ll be operating a different take-off and landing route, some areas around Edinburgh may notice a slight increase in the number aircraft operations between the hours of runway maintenance.
Although this runway maintenance work may cause some minimal inconvenience in the short term, it is essential that we continue to invest in and improve our facilities.


Authorities are investigating an accident involving a small jet aircraft that apparently ran off a runway at the Batesville Regional Airport Tuesday night.
The nose of the plane was seen resting 10 to 15 feet from Highway 167 with a section of the airport fence wrapped around the fuselage when authorities arrived.
As of Tuesday night, there was no word of any major injuries or how many individuals were on the aircraft.
According to the airplane tracking website, Flight Aware, a Learjet 45 with the plane’s tail number left Waterloo Regional Airport in Iowa at 5:57 p.m. with a scheduled arrival in Batesville at 7:10 p.m. (Click here for the Flight Aware information.)
The plane was scheduled to depart from Batesville at 8:30 p.m. and arrive at Fayetteville’s Drake Field at 8:58 p.m.
Flight Aware described the plane as a 2007 Learjet fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft owned by Michigan Cat Aviation LLC in Southfield, Mich.
The accident will be investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration.

Women’s Day: Air India’s 15% of its total 1,825 pilots are female
Air India on Wednesday said 15% of its 1,825 pilots are women pilots, making it a carrier with the largest number of female pilots.
To stamp Worldwide Women’s Day, the Goodbye Gathering claimed Air India, alongside Air India Express and AirAsia India, has scheduled in excess of 90 all-women group flights, and the carriers have been working these all-women team flights on global and domestic routes since Walk 1, as per a release.
As per the transporter, women constitute north of 40% of Air India’s labor force, with 275 of its 1,825 pilots being women, representing 15% of the cockpit group strength and making it a carrier having one of the largest numbers of female pilots.
The aviation industry has traditionally been dominated by men, but in recent years, more and more women are taking to the skies as pilots. Women have been flying planes for over a century, but it is only in the last few decades that they have started to make significant progress in the field.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), as of 2021, only 7% of all pilots in the United States are women. This number may seem small, but it represents a significant increase from just a few decades ago. In the 1960s, less than 1% of pilots were women.
Despite the progress that has been made, women pilots still face significant challenges in the industry. One of the most significant challenges is the lack of female role models. When young girls don’t see women in leadership roles, they are less likely to consider careers in those fields. This lack of representation can make it challenging for women to break into the aviation industry.
Another challenge that women pilots face is sexism and discrimination. Some male pilots and aviation professionals still hold sexist attitudes, which can make it difficult for women to advance in their careers. Some women pilots have reported being treated unfairly or not taken seriously because of their gender.
However, despite these challenges, many women are thriving in the aviation industry. Female pilots are breaking barriers and shattering stereotypes every day. They are proving that women can excel in traditionally male-dominated fields and that gender should not be a barrier to success.
One of the most famous female pilots is Amelia Earhart, who became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic in 1932. Since then, many women have followed in her footsteps and made their own mark in aviation history. Women pilots have flown combat missions, become commercial airline pilots, and even flown in space.
In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of women pursuing careers in aviation. Many organizations and companies are working to encourage and support women who are interested in becoming pilots.
For example, the nonprofit organization Women in Aviation International provides scholarships, mentorship, and networking opportunities for women in the aviation industry.
In conclusion, female pilots are breaking down barriers and proving that women can excel in traditionally male-dominated fields. Despite the challenges that women pilots face, more and more women are pursuing careers in aviation and making their mark in the industry.
As more women become pilots, they are inspiring the next generation of young girls to consider careers in aviation and shattering stereotypes along the way.

A Qantas pilot was removed from her control duty of a passenger jet just before take-off at Sydney Airport on Monday. The Boeing 767-300 jet was supposed to leave for Brisbane from Sydney, when the cabin crew reported to the flight operations manager that the senior pilot was under the influence of alcohol.
The jet was brought back to the domestic terminal where a replacement pilot took charge of the Boeing. After testing positive for alcohol consumption, the female captain was suspended from all her duties with full pay.
The Qantas administration could not comment on the pilot’s identity or alcohol consumption, but a spokesman confirmed “A Qantas captain was withheld from service this week for administrative reasons. The matter is being investigated and it would be inappropriate to comment further.”
At this time, the matter has been informed to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority, though the investigation may take up to a month.

In Space Settlements, Fred Scharmen argues that a series of paintings produced as part of a NASA study in 1975 has had a lasting impact on design.
By Jonathan Hilburg
The Earth is finite, and the sky is limitless. So proposed Princeton physicist Gerard O’Neill during the convening of the NASA Summer Study in 1975, when O’Neill gathered engineers, architects, astrophysicists, and others to flesh out logistics for the space settlements originally conceived by his students. With fears of resource shortages and overpopulation dominating the 1970s, O’Neill, his students, and prominent science fiction authors proposed massive rotating spaceborne structures that could perpetuate humanity among the stars.
Of course, as Fred Scharmen meticulously documents in Space Settlements, that’s easier said than done. How can humans make the leap to living in pastoral orbital colonies when every artificial biosphere on Earth has failed? How would placemaking work in a wholly artificial environment, where every vista must be carefully curated as to not alienate inhabitants? What is the “ground,” normally a constant constraint to push against, in a habitat where even that is constructed? Scharmen’s book starts as a history of the creation and impact of a series of Summer Study paintings from artists Rick Guidice and Don Davis, but it quickly turns into a deeper examination of what it means to exist outside of Earth’s atmosphere. If building vertically allows architects to imagine new spaces unconstrained by the ground plane, as Rem Koolhaas proclaimed in Delirious New York, then building in space presents designers with the ultimate freedom—while ironically constraining them with the most stringent challenges.

“It was a strange lightness, a drifting feeling. Zero gravity. I understood that everything that once seemed solid and immovable might just float away. And that this was a truth of life, not an illusion in the grieving mind of a child. Everything that is hard and heavy in your world is made up of billions of molecules in constant motion offering the illusion of permanence. But it all tends toward breaking down and falling away. Some things just go more quickly, more surprisingly, than others.” – Lisa Unger, author
And such, as Unger stated, is the state of weightlessness – that environment most people never get to experience in life since it is only attainable in the abyss and silence of space – but it only was unattainable until Zero-G.
Zero-G is so far from an ordinary plane ride that it's pretty much out of this world. It’s the closest feeling you will get to being in outer space without actually blasting off in a rocket!
Experience the kind of amazement only space travel can provide on a plane that creates pockets of weightlessness. Can you imagine the feeling of being utterly free from the constraints of gravity?
“It’s really the most amazing experience you can have on earth,” said Noelle Pearson, Zero-G’s director of sales. “It’s feeling like a real astronaut and honestly, after having the experience, people don’t walk away the same.”
When you sign up for a Zero-G flight onboard the specially-modified Boeing 727 aptly named G-Force One, you can rest assured you will be under the same safety standards as passenger airlines. What you can also be assured of is this will be like no other flight you have ever had.
The Zero-G adventure all happens when the G-Force One pilot flies aerobatic maneuvers called parabolas, creating an environment of total weightlessness.
While in Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) airspace blocks about 100 miles long and 10 miles wide, the pilot draws a lowercase ‘n’ in the sky – the nose of the plane pointed in extreme angles first at outer space and later at the earth. The pilot flies to 24,000 feet, the altitude where he gradually pulls up the nose of the plane to an angle of about 45 degrees. During this phase, you will feel the pull of 1.8 Gs.
At 32,000 feet, the plane “pushes over” the peak of the parabola. For about 30 seconds, everyone on board feels what it’s like to float in space.
The plane then gently pulls out of the maneuver, allowing you to gradually return to “earth.” In addition to zero gravity, you will also experience lunar gravity (one-sixth of your weight) and Martian gravity (one-third of your weight), achieved by flying a wider arc over the top of the parabola. On a typical flight, parabolas are flown in sets of three to five, with short periods of level flight between each set.
The ideal complement to the Zero-G experience is staying in a private LVH luxury vacation home in Miami. Villa Diana and Villa Corra are two spectacularly elegant homes and choosing between them might be difficult since they’re both in an elite class by themselves. Both are on the waterfront and both boast the most amazing amenities such as private boat docks, outdoor pools, rooftop terraces, elevators, cinema rooms and terrific areas for alfresco dining. As with all LVH residences, these Miami luxury vacation homes come with full services and guest support.
In 1994 Dr. Peter H. Diamandis; Dr. Byron K. Lichtenberg, veteran astronaut; and Ray Cronise, NASA engineer, acquired FAA approval for G-Force One. It wasn’t until a decade later, Pearson said, that the first commercial zero-gravity flight took off, establishing itself within the extreme tourist industry. In April 2006, Zero-G became the first commercial company to gain permission from the Kennedy Space Center to use the shuttle runway and landing facilities to operate weightlessness flights.
“The looks on people’s faces when they first experience zero gravity is priceless,” Pearson said, adding passengers can’t wait for zero gravity to hit again. “It is a feeling that’s very addictive. Once people experience a flight, they want to do it again.”
That’s not surprising since the freedom of movement that comes with weightlessness allows passengers to attempt to do things they never dreamed they would be able to, like doing cartwheels in mid-air or chasing after floating M&Ms or water droplets and for some, time spent on G-Force One becomes even more momentous when potential life-changing things happen.
“A Zero-G flight is great for celebrations and we have had a couple of marriage proposals on board,” Pearson said. “It makes the moment even more surreal for the couple and they will remember it forever.”
If you are looking for a truly intimate, unique and utterly spectacular wedding ceremony, a Zero-G Flight might just be it. A maximum of 24 guests plus the couple can take part in the flight. The wedding package includes a photographer, videographer, officiant, bridal bouquet and boutonniere, and flight suits. Upon landing, you will have a wedding cake and champagne toast. G-Force One has also been used for film scenes, media productions, educational programs, and for private functions such as family events. Pearson said private charters can be personalized to suit guests’ needs. G-Force One has also been used for research purposes. In fact, Pearson said the aircraft is very instrumental in being used for experiments in cutting research regarding Parkinson's and Alzheimer’s diseases.
Check-in. You will check in with your government-issued picture identification and will have a light breakfast and be given additional instructions about the flight.
Meet your coach. Get acquainted with your flight coach and other flyers (unless you have booked the whole plane for a function). You will change into your flight suit and have the chance to ask questions.
Security. Flyers and coaches will proceed through TSA security screening. Carry-on items must fit in your flight suit pocket.
Boarding. Once screening is complete, you will proceed to the aircraft where photos will be taken in front of the plane prior to boarding. You will be seated and a brief onboard safety demonstration will be given by flight attendants.
Takeoff. G-Force One will then head to its designated airspace which takes about 30 minutes.
The Experience. Once at altitude, coaches will bring you to an area in the floating zone and that’s where the magic happens! A total of 15 parabolas will be flown, providing you with about eight minutes of weightlessness. The plane will then return to the same airport from which it departed where you will deplane.
Post-flight. You will receive a link to photos and videos of your flight within 72 hours.
Children at least eight years of age can also fly. A Zero-G flight starts at US$8,200, plus 5% tax and fees per person.
“Of course you can tell people how it feels, but they won’t really know what it’s really like until they've done it,” Pearson said. “I would say not to be hesitant to try it. People who have done the flight have a glow about them afterwards. It’s amazing and very emotional.”
Notable Zero-G passengers have included Tony Hawk, Stephen Hawking, Buzz Aldrin, Peter Jackson, George Takei, Justin Bieber, Kate Upton, Martha Stewart, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne and Ashton Kutcher, among others.
Of this experience that can be described as utterly transcendental, Stephen Hawking said it was the first time in his life he ever felt free.
There is no truer testament to the Zero-G experience than that.
LVH can make your Zero-G flight happen whether you are wanting to join a flight or would like to book the plane for a corporate or family function, or for a special occasion. We invite you to reach out to an LVH client relations professional who will fill you in on further details about Zero-G when you book your luxurious Florida vacation home with us. In addition to adventures like Zero-G, we will fashion a tailor-made itinerary for you filled with other memorable experiences you will love and will appreciate spending your time doing. Our major consideration is always your vacation happiness!


Hugh C. Thompson, Jr. (April 15, 1943 – January 6, 2006) was a helicopter pilot during the Vietnam War. He is chiefly known for his role in stopping the My Lai Massacre, during which he was flying a reconnaissance mission. Born in Atlanta, Georgia, Thompson joined the US Navy in 1961 — then US Army in 1966 and trained as a helicopter pilot. He volunteered for the Aerial Scout Unit and assigned to Task Force Barker to fly over Vietnamese forests and try to draw enemy fire, to pinpoint the location of troops. Serving as one door-gunner, his Crew Chief was Sp4 Glenn Andreotta and his other door-gunner was Sp4 Lawrence Colburn, both of whom would later receive recognition for heroism for their role at My Lai, though Andreotta died three weeks after the event.


Righto, There's a Civil Aviation Safety Regulation ( CASR) which regulates the operation of a model aircraft at night. The regulation requires: 101.390 Operating model aircraft at night (1) A person may operate a model aircraft at night only in accordance with the written procedures of an approved aviation administration organisation. Penalty: 25 penalty units. (2) An offence against subregulation (1) is an offence of strict liability. Note: For strict liability, see section 6.1 of the Criminal Code. and the above extract can be found here: Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998 The "written procedures of an approved aviation administration organisation" regarding this particular regulation can be found here: http://www.maaa.asn.au/images/pdfs/mops/MOP018-Night-Flying-Procedure.pdf My question is: Can a person , "Joe public", not a member of any association,group,and does not intend to be a member of any such approved aviation administration organisation, under Australian Law simply a person who has purchased a toy aeroplane operate the model at night using the document above as the overarching regulation requires? I would appreciate the 'learned forums' opinion on the matter.


Do you have mad skills as a drone pilot? Have you ever watched a drone race on television and thought that it might be something you would be really good at doing? Are you also interested in, perhaps, making a cool six figures? Then what are you waiting for? It sounds like the perfect time to start your next hobby -- or even career -- as a racing drone pilot.
The New Hot Sport
Drone racing is a very young sport. According to CNBC, drone racing got its official start about five years ago in Australia. But even though it is still an infant in comparison to a lot of other sports, many believe that drone racing could be the next big thing. Its competitions have already attracted a number of big-name sponsors, including GoPro and Ernst and Young, and in 2016, ESPN began airing Drone Racing League (DRL) races. Many drone competitions -- believe it or not -- now offer huge prizes. So if you've always wanted to get in on a sport while it's still getting off the ground, drone racing could be the perfect choice for you.
What You Will Need
To become a successful drone racer, you should:
- Have good reflexes: cat-like reflexes and excellent hand-eye coordination are necessary to navigate the obstacle courses.
- Be mechanically inclined: the best racers are constantly modifying and tinkering with their drones to get the most speed out of them.
The most important step that you can take in order to become a championship racing drone pilot is to practice as often as you possibly can. According to RCGroups, you will also need lots and lots of drone batteries so that your practice time won't have to be cut short by a dead drone. Hours of practice is the only way that you'll develop the skills necessary to race against other pilots. Plus, those extra batteries will also be necessary at your races. Each heat typically requires one battery, and having extras on hand is easier than carrying a charging station.
It's also important not to just practice in wide open fields. Drone races typically include obstacles, corridors, and changes in altitude. So you'll want to find an area that will allow you to learn how to control a drone at speed around and through various obstacles.
From all indications, drone racing could be the sport of the future. And if you're interested in participating, this might be the best time to get involved.

Private jet to and from London (United Kingdom)
Would you like to book a private jet to or from London? Given the large number of airports located near the city, the available options can be overwhelming. Where is the best place to charter a flight from? Just leave it to us! We will arrange the best flight based on your specific wishes.
Enormous selection of airports for private flights
It should be noted that not all these airports are popular destinations for private flights, because they can be very expensive.
Instead, we recommend Luton, London Farnborough (FAB) or London Biggin Hill (BQH). Together, these airports process circa 88% of the total number of private flights per year. That means 70,000 flights; a gigantic number when compared to Schiphol, which – despite being the largest private airport in the Netherlands – still only processes 4,500 flights per year.
Below, we will tell you more about Luton, Farnborough and Biggin Hill.
London Luton (LTN)
Luton is the busiest private airport in the London area. It processes circa 30,000 private jets per year.
This airport is located thirty-six miles from London. Depending on traffic, you can reach the airport from the city in about an hour and half. It is essential that your chauffeur knows the city and its many roads well. Our Chauffeur Service guarantees you get the fastest and most comfortable drive from London.
The traffic conditions can sometimes be so busy and hectic that it would be better to take a helicopter to Luton instead. The flight from the city takes just ten minutes. Depending on when you need the flight, we can advise you about the best option. If need be, we can arrange a helicopter for you.
There are four FBOs to choose from. Take a look at an overview>
Due to its excellent services and facilities, Signature Flight Support was chosen as the “Best European FBO” multiple times by Professional Pilot Magazine. The airport is open 24/7 and can accommodate private jets of all sizes.
When you have us charter a flight for you, we will advise you about the FBO that best suits your specific wishes. Next, we will take care of all communication with the FBO of your choice.
Luton is incredibly busy. On top of that, the number of scheduled flights that arrive at and depart from this airport is growing. This is making it harder to change flights when necessary.
London Farnborough (FAB)
With circa 25,000 flights per year, Farnborough is the second-largest airport for private flights in the London area.
Farnborough is located forty-two miles outside of London. The drive to the airport from the city takes at least 1.5 hours and can be as long as 2 hours. We highly recommend you use our Chauffeur Service to get a chauffeur who can effortlessly navigate the challenging traffic in and around the city.
For guests who do not want to lose any time, we recommend the use of a helicopter. The flight to Farnborough takes just ten minutes. We can arrange this flight for you at your request.
The FBO is also called Farnborough (+44 (0)1252 379002). When you have us charter your flight for you, we will take care of all communication with the FBO.
- Farnborough presents itself as the most sustainable airport in the whole of the United Kingdom.
- Farnborough is exclusively a private jet airport. That means there are no scheduled flights.
- Because of this, the airport offers passengers a ton of privacy.
- Amazing VIP lounges and terminal.
- Suitable for aircraft of all sizes.
Opening hours: 07.00 – 22.00 (Mon-Fri) and 08.00 – 20.00 (weekends).
Farnborough is an expensive airport.
London Biggin Hill (BQH)
Biggin Hill earns the #3 spot on the list of airports for private flights in the UK (and Europe!). Every year, 15,000 private jets arrive and depart here.
Biggin Hill is located “just” 16.5 miles from London. If the traffic is good, you can reach the airport in 1 hour and 15 minutes. However, if the traffic is bad – which it often is – the drive can take much longer. Furthermore, there are no major highways that lead towards the airport. You risk losing a ton of time because of the many traffic lights you’ll encounter along the way.
When you book our Chauffeur Service as well, your guest is guaranteed to get the fastest and most comfortable ride possible. Better yet: have us hire a helicopter for you. The flight to Biggin Hill from London takes just ten minutes.
There are two FBOs at Biggin Hill. Take a look at an overview >
The opening hours are 06.30 – 23.00 (Mon-Fri) and 08.00 – 22.00 (weekends).
We can advise you on what FBO to use. When you have us charter your flight for you, we will take care of all communication with the FBO.
- Out of all private terminals in the London area, this is the most cost-efficient one.
- Suitable for aircraft of all sizes.
During the London rush hour, we highly recommend booking a helicopter flight to the private jet terminal of your choice. Traffic conditions can be so bad that it takes a car several hours to cover a distance of just a few kilometres.
The heliport is open seven days a week from 07:00 to 23:00.
Costs: from 1,800 GBP, depending on the type of helicopter.
We can include this flight in our service to you. Ask about the possibilities when you request an offer for a private jet from London.

Who shot down MH17: Russia or Ukraine?
The wreckage of MH17 and its 298 passengers WHEN AIR MALAYSIA Flight MH17 was shot down over Ukraine On July 17th, the world was quick to blame it on Russia. However as the dust settles down and the days wear on, evidence is pointing an accusing finger at Ukraine. In short, Ukraine military brought down the plane. Pointing an accusing finger at Russia is sheer propaganda, analysts say. B UK 312: The Smoking Gun? please note the Ukrainian registration F irst there is evidence that the Ukrainian Air force was intensely attacking rebel’s positions in eastern Ukraine just at the time the passenger plane was overflying Ukrainian air space. In fact a rebel commander has confirmed that there was intense fighting in the region at that point in time. "They knew that this BUK existed; that the BUK was heading for Snezhnoye," he said, referring to a village 10 km (six miles) west of the crash site. "They knew that it would be deployed there, and provo


Aircraft Icing Simulation
The Design offers a complete range of CFD analysis, consulting services, and training in aircraft icing simulation for engineering students.
Simulation of Aircraft Icing
Aircraft icing is a phenomenon in which the shape and features of the surface of aircraft components change. Therefore, aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft such as lift and drag forces change as the flow pass over iced surfaces. Icing has always destructive effects on drag and lift forces so the overall performance of aircraft will deteriorate. Moreover, icing would impact on stability and control of the aircraft.
Simulation of aircraft icing is of great importance to investigate the flow field and its effects on aerodynamic characteristics. CFD simulations would help you reduce your design and construction costs and the future failures in the aircraft systems. ANSYS has provided necessary professional computational tools for the simulation of aircraft icing.

Nigeria has had a series of unfortunate domestic plane crashes which have claimed thousands of lives over the years prompting many to question why several domestic flights have gone down within a short period of time. It is quite sad that thousands of innocent people had to die to finally awaken the issue of the gross incompetence of the Nigerian aviation system. It has been revealed that Nigeria’s commercial airlines are operating the oldest fleet of aircraft in the whole of Africa which is quite frightening to know.
Most of these aircrafts which are mostly Tokunbo/second-hand aircraft, are either due for retirement or should have already been retired and taken out of service at least some years earlier. The factors which determine the retirement of aeroplanes bother around pressurisation cycles, hours of flights and fuel efficiency. It is quite appalling to know that despite having a structured aviation agency in place Nigerian airlines still freely operate such old planes which are very much apparent but yet nothing is done about them. These old planes, most of which have been used for over two decades could end up malfunctioning leading to fatalities the country cannot afford to have again. Although, experts have said the age of Nigerian planes is not an issue, the history of plane crashes in the country cannot easily be ignored in that regard and it is only right that the Nigerian federal government takes it more seriously. A recent study ordered by the International Air Transport Association IATA and conducted by SGI Aviation stated that the average retirement age of a freighter aircraft is 32.5 years and that of a passenger aircraft 25.1 years.
Below are top 5 Nigerian airlines still operating the oldest aircraft found across the whole of Africa:
- Dana Airlines has the oldest fleet of aircraft with its youngest delivered in October 2014 now 22.3 years old while its oldest is 28.1 years old. Dana airline which had one of the most horrific plane crash in Nigeria’s aviation history on the 3rd of June, 2012 claiming 153 lives in total still managed to resume operations again still running the same old planes within the country.
- Air Peace Airlines which is currently one of Nigeria’s top leading airlines has 20 aircraft that averages 19 years. Thirteen of its Boeing 737 have an average age of 22.3 years, two of its Boeing 777an average age of 18.1 years, and two of its Boeing 737-500 fall between 25 and 26 years old.
- Medview Airlines has a 16.7 years old Boeing 777-200(5N-BVY), a 23.6 years old Boeing 767, and three Boeing 737-400 with an average age of 20.9 years.
- Aero Contractors which is controlled by AMCON and Nigeria’s oldest airline with a peerless safety record has nine Boeing 737 aircraft’s with an average age of 26.5 years and two 17.8 years De Havilland Canada DHC-8 Dash 8 planes.
- Azman Air Services has two Boeing 737-300 and two Boeing 737-500 with an average of 20.9 years.
- Nigeria’s Arik Air which has been ranked the safest airline in the country has the youngest fleet of 23 aircraft which were all bought new and all have an average age of 11 years. They include four Bombardier CRJ-900 planes that are now 12.6 years old, one Bombardier CRJ-1000 now five years old, a 10.4-year-old Airbus A340 and thirteen Boeing 737 with an average age of 12.1 years.
In comparison with some of the top airlines in Africa, Ethiopia Airlines which is the largest in Africa has a total number of 104 aircraft which include an average age of 3.4 years, 5.2 years, 7.9 years, 1.4 years, 5.4 years old and its oldest at 16.3 years old. Kenya Airways has 39 aircraft’s with an average age of 6.8 years. South Africa Airways fleets have an average age of 11 years with its oldest being three 27.5 years old, while Rwandair’s 13 aircraft are at an average age of 7.1 years.

Geelong Aero Club
The history of the Club
The Geelong Aero and Gliding Club first
formed in 1914 on the Belmont Common, and is believed to be the oldest Aero
During the 1920s and 30s many famous aviators such as Captain Bert Hinkler, Amy Johnson and Charles Kingsford-Smith visited Geelong and Belmont Common, the latter providing joy flights for many locals.
The Club finally folded sometime in the 1930s
and it was not until after WWII that the Club reformed. Wing Commander John
Meehan formed the new Club at the Belmont Common in 1946-48. The Club’s
first aircraft were a Ryan Trainer and two De Havilland Tiger Moths. Many
The Belmont Common was still used as an airfield on a small scale until the mid 1960s when building development in the area put an end to its operational viability.
The re-birth of the Club in 1978 was at
Connewarre on a site then known as “Polley’s Paddock” or “Polley’s Field”,
but now known as
The work is on-going as finances permit, and
the membership, while not as high as it originally was, is still a healthy
70-80. The Club caters for pilots, aircraft owners and aviation enthusiasts
in the Greater Geelong region and beyond. In February 2005 the Club was host
to “The Great Air Rally 2005” and a large number of aircraft of various
types flew in for an evening dinner and overnight stop. GAC has also
participated in the International Avalon Airshow held every two years. The
Club also organises “Fly Away Weekends” to such places as Echuca, Temora and
Over the last four years Club activities have centered on the construction of a Club Hangar at Barwon Heads and the rebuilding of a Skyfox aircraft. The intention is that upon its return to airworthiness the Skyfox will be sold to enable the purchase of a Club owned modern aircraft. The hangar will be rented out until a Club aircraft is purchased when it will house the Club’s aircraft. The hangar is now complete and the story of its construction is on the Club website.
If aviation is your passion and interest we welcome your membership and company.
