"OSPREY"
The Bimonthly Journal of the Solent Aviation Society
Your Committee:
CHAIRMAN:Andy Chown,Flat 'C', 26 Gordon Avenue, Portswood, Southampton.
SECRETARY:Don Eaves,84, Carnation Road, Bassett, Southampton.
Telephone: Southampton 582588.
TREASURER:Karen Chown, Flat 'C', 26 Gordon Avenue, Portswood, Southampton.
Other Committee Members: Eric Osborne, Richard Ward and John Hopkins.
Welcome to the Solent Aviation Society and our newsletter OSPREY. Many apologies for the delay in the publication but we have been experiencing a few problems with the assembly and general format of it.
The Society itself has been formed basically because Southampton and the surrounding district has no actual general Aviation enthusiasts Society as such, and we think that perhaps there is room for one. Still it is up to you, our founder members to pass the word around and help us try to provide the type of service you want.
Sections of the Journal will include; Balloon Section, reports of regular flying grounds, livery changes, etc., to Don please, Southampton Airport movements reports to Andy. Aerodrome visits and new residents, Military Spot (volunteer to assemble this please) and airshow reports (once again 1 would welcome any reports for the coming season).
While, on the whole supporting Eric's aerotours, we are aiming to arrange trips of our own, which are shown elsewhere in this publication.
The next meeting of the Society will be on Wednesday, 20th May, providing a suitable venue is found. All members will be informed when a place is found.
An attraction at the first meeting, which was held at 32 Padwell Road on The 6th April, was Don's Scruggs Wunda Balloon GBIOS. This was inflated with the help of Karen's hairdryer! Also thanks to Karen, Diz and Cindy for looking after the tea, etc.
We were going to have photographs in the Journal, but there is just not enough of that paper stuff in, the kitty at, the moment. Still, maybe in time!
VISITING NORTHEAST AIRFIELDSPage Two
Newcastle (Woolsington) Sunderland (Unsworth) Teeside
NEWCASTLE:There are five hangers on the far side of the airport: Newcastle
Aero Club, Gill Aviation, British Airways (3 light aircraft),
Northern Engineering (GASNU, HS125), and a mixed light aircraft
hanger. Viscount GAOHW is derelect in the hanger area used by
the airport fire section.
For permission to visit the hanger area, see the security Police
Sergeant.
Access to the airport (apart from flying in), is by the local
Tyne and Wear PTE express bus from Newcastle Central Station.
The fare is under 5op.
Residents about 20 25 in all, a mixed bag of Pipers and Cessna's
a Rallye and Barretts machines and the 125.
SUNDERLAND:There are two hangers used housing a variety of light aircraft
(about 40 in all). These include a Turbi, two Currie Wots, Two
Airtourers, and Evans VPI, Tiger Moth, Emeraude, Nipper, Fuji,
P ipers, Cessnas, Jodels, a Terrier and a selection of powered
gliders. Permission to look around can usually be obtained from
the flying club.
Buses to the airport run every twenty mins, and are Northern
General, running from the National bus station. They are
Washington bound and the fare is 30p.
Also here is the Northumberland Aircraft Museum with the following
aircraft on display: 42157FIOO 54439T33 7718M(WAS77)
Sycamore, E419Hunter, ~WZ518Vampire, WG724Dragonfly, VX577
Valletta, WL405Meteor, and XP621 a Jet Provost.
TEESIDE:Three hangers, DanAir's which hosts a batch of small Cessna's as
well as the inevitable 748's, Casair's, which houses mainly twin's
two noticable exceptions: DJB's Citation and MetaSokol GARSP.
The third hanger has among its varied residents, Anvil/Rothmans
Pitts and a newly built Evans VP2GBIAO.
British Rail serve the airport fairly frequently with trains from
Stockton, Darlington and Middlesborough. These are met by a little
battery bus which takes you free of charge to the terminal building.
National buses also serve the airport from Darlington. For
permission to visit the hangers, once again see the airport security.
VISIT TO KIDLINGTON
Visits to Kidlington are rare, so it is my pleasure to thank the airport manager Mr. Hill for his cooperation in letting me visit and assemble a small article for this magazine. He has asked me to stress that spotters are unfortunately not welcome on the airfields, and that a..E400 fine could be imposed on unauthorised visitors. However the lane passing the airfield gives ample opportunity to view about 60% of the aircraft here.
C.S.E. Aviation, who run the airport, is split into three sections Sales, who import and sell Piper, Bell and Embraer aircraft. Maintenance section, dealing with repairs, resprays and the overhauling of aircraft. The third section is the Oxford Air Training School, with its fleet of Tomahtawks, Seneca's, Warriers,
Continued overleaf....
VISIT TO KIDLINGTON ContinuedPage Three
Twin Comanche, Fujo's and Enstrom helicopters. If your brain is working overtime working out why a Piper dealer should use Fuji aircraft, this my host informs me is because of their aerobatic qualities.
There are about 20 nonC.S.E. residents based at Kidlington including GBHRD, a Chipmunk, in its military markings as WP977 and GBWKS the ill-fated Lake Buccaneerf which has just finished repairs. Loan to London aeroclub, resulted in a slight mishap in the Thames Estuary!
In the paintshops the two Saudia Bandeirantes were present along with the company demonstrator, (GBGCR/S and GBHYT.). Also, outside was a new silly reg'd aircraft Navajo GINMO, and N8318X, a new Archer. The maintenanc@ hangers produces amongst other things Cubs 18819306/7, Warriors 288116128/9 (one of which is reported to be an addition to the OATS fleet. The unregistered Tomahawks are still in one of the hangers: 79A0915/994/997/1075/1076/1077/1091 and 800064/5. Who wants to buy a new (well nearly new), Tomahawk!!!!
Other aircraft around the airfield were Citation GBEIZ, Learjet GZEIZ (presumably to replace the Citation), Irish Jet Ranger EIAWA, visiting Bell G~BGID, new Rockwell GBIFD, Cessna 206 GSKYE and Enstrom GBIBJ (new resident).
OATS train pilots mainly for third world airlines and military transportings, although some european airlines have been on the books at some time or another. Asking about the rumour that they were getting EMB312 trainers in the near future, 1 was told that it all depended on a certain contract being obtained. If it was it would be around in 1983ish.
Members are reminded that Airfields visited, and other articles of general interest are welcome for publication as are airshow reports.
This is your magazine so use it .....
S.A. Soc. Trip to Middle Wallop
on Wednesday the 15th April our first trip took place. Although only eight of us made it, I think it can be described as a success. A guided tour in the care of the Staff Sergeant Turner showing us three out of the five main hangers and the AETW hanger. The film they showed us was very definitely aimed at brainwashing us into joining the AAC, without much success! Anyway for those interested a checklist:
Gate Guardians:XT108Souix, WZ670 (alias WZ724)AOP9, XL769Skeeter.
Musel.un:BAPC80Horsa, XL813Skeeter, WZ721AOP9, and a Cody Kite.

THE WESSEX AVIATION SOCIETYPage Five
This society is based at "The Knoll Gardens", Stapehill Road, Stapehill near Wimborne. They have a magnificent collection of "odds and sods" which include the following:
WA829Meteor.This is all but complete and incorporates the rear fusealage of W530.
WM571Sea Venom. This is stored on the premises.
GADWOTiger Moth. Being restored as BB807.
Also under restoration is a SHELDUCK, using parts of XW578 and XV383. Another two projects under way are a Rotorbuggy (a flying jeep), and a Wight Quadruplane. Parts of Moths GAOW and GA0CV are also at Knoll Gardens.
John May, who seems to be in charge here, tells me, visitors are welcome at most times. Also required are volunteers to help work on the aircraft.

HILLERS
Anybody who missed the BristowS Hillers when they were at Redhill may be interested to know that eleven of them are at Redburn Farm in Thornicombe. This village is on the main Blandford Forum to Dorchester Road. At the bottom of a hill, in the Bland ford Plant Hire yard can be found the following Hillers: GAMDN/PJN/PMR/PSH.
