	Sycamore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sycamore is a name applied at various times and places to three very different types of trees, but with somewhat similar leaf forms.
		The sycamore (or sycomore) of the Bible is a species of fig, Ficus sycomorus or fig-mulberry, native to the Middle East and eastern Africa.
		The sycamores of North America are members of the genus Platanus.

		The Bristol Beaufighter was a mid-wing, cantilever, all-metal monoplane that carried a pilot in the nose and an observer aft of the wings.
		The Bristol Type 175 Britannia was a series of British airliners developed during the 1940s in response to a requirement from BOAC for an airliner for its medium-range Empire routes, and was adopted by the British military in 1959, remaining in service until 1975.
		Bristol Fighter was armed with a synchronized, forward-firing Vicker's machine-gun and two or three Lewis machine-guns on a Scarff ring in the rear cockpit.

	Bristol Aeroplane Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bristol Aeroplane Company began building primitive Bristol Boxkites in a former tram shed and became famous for the production of the war-time Blenheim and Beaufighter, the Brabazon airliner prototype, the Britannia and Freighter and the Belvedere and Sycamore helicopters.
		In 1959 Bristol was forced to merge with English Electric, Hunting Aircraft and Vickers-Armstrongs to form the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC), later to become part of British Aerospace, now BAE Systems.
		In 1956 the division was renamed Bristol Aero Engines, and then merged with Armstrong Siddeley in 1958 to form Bristol Siddeley as a part of the airframe mergers that formed BAC.

		The multi-role Bristol Blenheim of 1936 was a tremendous leap forward in aircraft technology, and became the backbone of the Royal Air Force early in the Second World War.
		The Brigand was a derivative of the Bristol Beaufighter, itself a derivative of the Blenheim.
		The Mark 4 Sycamore was the model used primarily by the RAF, and also by the armed forces of Germany and Belgium.

	Glencoe 1/72 Bristol Sycamore Mk.51
		In military service the helicopter is known as the Sycamore and has been used by the RAF, the German Bundeswehr (Federal Defense) serving with the Marinefliegertruppe (Naval Aviation) in a SAR role, the Belgian Air Force and the Royal Australian Navy.
		Bristol produced many classic machines such as the Bulldog of WW 1; the Britannia (Whispering Giant) airliner; the Brabazon with a wingspan of 230 feet and later, when Bristol became part of British Aerospace, the Concorde.
		The Sycamore was the first of several helicopter designs produced by the company, the twin engined, twin rotor Type 173 utilised much of the knowledge gained with the Type 171.

		In Feb 1957, the Sycamores returned to a re-formed 723 Squadron and when its Gannets left, it became an entirely jet fixed wing unit until 725 Squadron disbanded on 31 May 1961, when it inherited its mix of aircraft before it took on additional roles, including all weather anti-submarine training.
		Re-commissioned on 18 Feb 1957 with 5 Sycamores and 4 fixed wing aircraft, which were transferred to 724 Squadron in Nov 1961, leaving 723 Squadron as an all rotary wing unit.
		A Sycamore Flight it had inherited was passed to 118 Squadron and all Sycamores had departed by Jun 1960.

		During the 1950s Sycamore crews helped pioneer many of the helicopter techniques commonly used today in air-sea rescue and troop transport work.
		Together with the Westland Dragonfly the Sycamore proved the importance of helicopters for transporting troops and supplies into harsh terrain which is inaccessible to fixed-wing aircraft and road vehicles.
		During the campaign against Communist guerrillas in Malaya (1948-1960) these helicopters were invaluable for carrying patrols into the jungle and their ability to evacuate casualties from small clearings proved a great morale booster.

	Bristol Sycamore
		The North Carr Rock is situated at the turning point for vessels entering the Firth of Forth coming from the north and bound for the Tay, or for ships turning further north when coming from the south.
		These Sycamore aircraft were very versatile and good in bad weather as evidenced on 8 December 1959, during a severe gale when the Lightship broke adrift from her moorings and the Broughty Ferry Lifeboat, Mona, which went to her assistance, capsized and was lost with all hands.
		The Lightship managed to anchor about 900 yards off the rocky shore at Kingsbarns, near St Andrews and the crew were taken off by two Bristol Sycamore helicopters from Leuchars on 9 December, only after an attempt to tow the Lightship had failed.

	Bristol 171 Sycamore Mk.52
		The british Bristol 171 Sycamore had it's first flight on 27th july 1947.
		The Sycamore could only be used close to the shores, due to it's limited range, so it had to be supplemented by Grumman HU-16 Albatross flying boats.
		The Sycamores were finally superseeded by Sikorsky H-34G, which started to arrive at Kiel from 1963 onwards.

		A total of 177 Sycamores had been completed when production ended in 1959, thirteen of which were purchased for the RAAF and RAN.
		Engine cooling was critically important for aircraft, like the Sycamore, fitted with air-cooled engines that typically expend as much as 8% of their power output on cooling.
		The cyclic pitch stick, the equivalent of a fixed-wing aeroplane's control stick, causes the rotor disc to tilt and thereby move the helicopter forward, backward or sideways.

		WA 575 was one of four pre-production models used as military development aircraft, to assess the suitability of the Sycamore as a service helicopter.
		Later models of Sycamore had different cabin and door layouts.

		The tandem rotors were identical to those of the Sycamore with three wooden rotor blades.
		The total assembly is about three-quarters of the size of the Sycamore, even though it carries four blades, not three.
		I am making an assumption that the wooden blades of the Sycamore were much heavier than the fabricated blades of the Belvedere and so needed a more robust rotor head mechanism.

		Rather than going to the Military as with the other first-batch Mark 3's, the Bristol Aeroplane Company held on to this one, and used it as a company demonstrator.
		It was registered G-ALSX in November 1950, first flew on 30th April 1951, and a Certificate of Airworthiness was issued in May 1951.
		On return it was re-registered G-ALSX, and used by Bristol and then Westland Helicopters as the company hack.

		Developed from the unloved Bristol Beaufort, the Beaufighter was the RAF's first purpose-built nightfighter.
		Powered by two Bristol Hercules radials, it had a reputation for being one of the most effective, and probably the most difficult to fly, aircraft in the RAF's armoury in the first years of the Second World War.
		This is a valuable day-to-day guide to the postings and actions of nearly 300 British battalions during this period of reorganization and preparation for massive future offensives.
