	Hawker Siddeley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hawker Siddeley was a group of UK aircraft manufacturing companies formed as a result of the merger of Hawker Aircraft with Armstrong Siddeley.
		During the Second World War, the Hawker Siddeley company was one of the United Kingdom's most important aviation concerns, producing numerous designs including the famous Hawker Hurricane fighter plane that, along with the Supermarine Spitfire, was instrumental in winning the Battle of Britain.
		Hawker Siddeley Canada Inc, was a heavy rail manufacturer based in Mississauga and plant in Thunder Bay, Ontario.

	THE SPECIAL OSPREY:
		The disadvantage of the Osprey is the relatively small payload, however with 100 percent of materials going to the target, the overall requirement is less.
		The ability of the Osprey to use strategic refueling prior to entering denied territory, then use SOF MC-130 Combat Talons for refueling inside, means that the Osprey can reach almost any region in the world from home base in less than one day.
		For example, if the operation is planned jointly to use Ospreys along with Army SOF helicopters, either as gunship escort, or additional lift assets, then the mission becomes limited by the range and speed of the helicopters.

		The Hawker Hurricane was the Raf's first monoplane fighter, and it dragged the air force into a position where it could defend Britain in its 'hour of need'.
		Hawker fighters outnumbered Spitfires during the Battle of Britain by three to one, and downed far mor aircraft.

	Unreal Aircraft - Beating Gravity - Bell Boeing Model 901 (V-22 Osprey)
		It was designed around two turboshafts located at the tips of the slightly forward-swept wing, each driving three-bladed proprotors which could be swivelled through 97.5°.
		The fifth aircraft was badly damaged in a non-fatal accident on its first flight.
		A more serious setback was the crash of the fourth Osprey on 21 July 1992, killing all seven persons on board.

	Unreal Aircraft - Beating Gravity - Hawker Siddeley P.1127
		By the 1960s VTOL research in the USA had come almost to a standstill; but at that time the UK was progressing with development of the Pegasus vectored-thrust engine.
		Some support came from the USAF and NASA; though the engine would be inadequate for their own projections for a heavy strike fighter, they foresaw the potential benefits which might accrue to the US if the promising design succeeded.
		The Hawker Siddeley P.1127 research type developed directly into the world's first operational VTOL jet fighter.

	The aircraft carrying cruiser GOTLAND
		The Ospreys, which were designated S 9, belonged to the 3:rd squadron of the F 2 wing, homebased at Hägernäs, just outside Stockholm.
		In July 1942 the Ospreys were superceded by float equiped Saab S 17BS and in 1943 they were taken out of operational service, the last was retired in 1945.
		Due to the submarine hazard the Ospreys were not intended to be recovered aboard the ship during combat, but instead fly to some coastal seaplane base and land.

	Hawker Osprey aircraft profile. Aircraft Database of the Fleet Air Arm Archive 1939-1945
		The Hawker Osprey was a 2 seat biplane fighter.
		Both types were represented in the mixed flight of new aircraft carried in HMS Eagle for demonstration at the British Empire trade Exhibition, Buenos Aires, in March 1931.
		The last Osprey to serve with the Fleet Air Arm was K5757 which was paid off on 27 April 1944.

	VTOL Summary
		A different type of V/STOL aircraft is the helicopter-like V-22 Osprey, which employs two swiveling tilt-rotors that allow it to take off and land very much like a helicopter, while flying with performance comparable to a turboprop airplane.
		Although the Osprey is considerably slower than the Harrier, mangaing only 300 knots in cruise mode, it can carry a much larger payload and answer some of the objections about the Harrier's limited transport ability.
		This was developed side by side with an airframe, the Hawker P.1127, which became subsequently the Kestrel and then the Harrier.

	Tempest Aces of WW2
		The descendant of Sopwith and forerunner of "British Aerospace," Hawker Aircraft designed more successful fighter airplanes that defined the state of the art at the moment of their appearance, than any other company.
		Each Hawker airplane brilliantly performed what it was supposed to do, and did so for the entire term that the underlying technology was relevant.
		The Typhoon has been thought of by many as the least of Camm's designs, a reputation strengthened by the fact that it was put into production without benefit of the full development an advanced aircraft deserved.

	Hawker Hart in detail
		These Hawker biplanes represented the peak of biplane development, and they brought the Hawker company a great success, allowing it not only to sail through worldwide recession with flying colours, but also gaining considerable export markets.
		The undercarriage, a typical Hawker design, was a simplistic construction consisting of the main compressing struts, rear bracing struts with cross-bracing wires and a cross axle.
		Yet another Hawker hallmark is the way bracing wires are attached to the fin.

	The Hawker Tempest Page
		The Hawker Tempest was just about the fastest piston-engined fighter aircraft to grace the skies at the end of World War 2 and beyond.
		He was sent to Florida for aircrew training and, on his return to England, he joined 3 Squadron who had converted to Hawker Typhoons.
		The former was a technical nightmare redeemed as a ground attack machine, whilst the latter proved to be the most superlative low and medium level fighter to see service with the RAF, and arguably any air force, during the latter stages of World War 2.

	Warrior Models 1/48 Fairey Fulmar
		Given the limited space on board a carrier, it was also desirable for the fleet defense fighter to be capable of performing other missions, such as dive-bombing and general reconnaissance.
		The first fleet defense fighter was the Hawker Osprey, a development of the Hawker Hart, which had been a two-seat light day bomber with performance superior to RAF fighters at the time of its first appearance in 1929.
		By the mid-1930s, however, the Osprey was long in the tooth and bomber development in potential enemy nations clearly demonstrated a need for an airplane with increased performance.

		These other variants such as the Audax, Demon, Hind, and Osprey were similar in overall appearance but differed in mission and equipment fit.
		The Hind was an improved version of the Hart featuring a more powerful Rolls-Royce Kestrel engine, a tail wheel vice tail skid and a cut-down rear fuselage to improve the field of fire and an improved prone position for bomb aiming.

		The wing was put under Finnish command, and consisted of twelve fighters (Gloster Gladiators), eight light bombers (Hawker Harts), three transport aircraft and 250 air force volunteers.
		In January of 1940, the F 19 wing was fully operational (as “Flight Regiment 5” in the Finnish war organisation).
		The RSAF F 2 wing served as a liaison unit with the Swedish Navy, operating in torpedo attack, reconnaissance and sea rescue roles, flying aircraft such as the Heinkel He114 (S12), Fokker C.V.E. (S6), Hawker Osprey (S9), Junkers W34 (Tp2), SAAB 17 (S17) and the (formerly German Luftwaffe) Dornier Do24 (Tp24).

		Combined with the aircraft's four hour endurance and 1000 mile range, this makes it a useful personnel carrier and the Squadron is often tasked in this role.
		The Squadron was formed on 24 May 1939 from the Royal Navy Observer School, initially equipped with Blackburn Shark and Hawker Osprey aircraft, later with Fairey Albacores and Barracudas.
		It moved to Yeovilton, Somerset, in May 1940 and later that year to Trinidad in the West Indies where it served until disbanded in October 1945 after the war ended.

		Blackburn Skuas entered service with the Fleet Air Arm in November 1938, as a successful update and replacement for the Hawker Osprey and Nimrod biplane fighter aircraft, in service at the time.
		Shooting down the first enemy aircraft of World War II would be a notable achievement for any record, and this too can be claimed by a Blackburn Skua.

		As part of her transfer, the original Hawker Osprey floatplane was replaced by a sturdier Supermarine Walrus shown in the picture.
		By 1941 Leander had been modified further, losing her floatplane completely.
