LETTERS

THE SNARLERS

The Norseman aircraft on your recent newsletter #42 looked familiar. That is, the knobby cowling looked familiar.

While in the R.C.A.F. during the WWWII, I had the pleasure of flying four Ex-Mackenzie Air Service Norseman including the two pictured on your cover.

CF-BAN was RCAF #696, CF-BFR was RCAF #697, while two Norseman not pictured were CF-AZA and CF-BAM which were RCAF # 694 & 695 respectively.

All other RCAF Norseman I flew were fitted with a smooth cowling and were of wartime production. Seven of them were Mark IV-W and five were Mark VI’s. The latter were built for the USAF and were known as the UC64A in United States.

If you are interested in a possible story, how about getting Marge and Dave Ellison to try and find out whatever became of the members of the ‘Snarlers’. This group of young avid pilots were active in the immediate post war era. I remember some of them were black-balled by the flying schools at various times. They were a very enthusiatic bunch and I often wondered where their various careers may have taken them.

Some names that come to mind in addition to Marge and Dave are Donna Huggins, Nick Percival and I believe a Ron Carter. Bob D’Easom was lost in a Cessna 180 somewhere between Ocean Falls and Kemano back in the 1950’s. Other names I cannot remember.

They rented a small office on the Northeast side of what is now the M&B hanger.

HAMPDEN LOVERS

What a pleasant surprise to see Hampden P5436 being rebuilt from the bits and pieces dredged up, I assume, from Pat Bay. The picture and information from the latest AIR FORCE should reach many of those who flew and serviced a unique aircraft- so unique that neither Hendon or Ottawa have even a cockpit remnant.

I did a tour on Hampdens out of Seyerston/Balderston Notts in 41/42, still attend the 408 SQN. reunions and wonder of wonders, still even have a copy of THE HAMPDEN I AEROPLANE TWO PEGASUS XVIII ENGINES PILOTS NOTES. Incidentally, the squadron aircraft had the slats wired closed and cable cutters were installed – a crazy idea as it degraded certain flying characteristics and would not guarantee safe passage through a balloon barrage!

I enclose a contribution to your worthy program. Hopefully, I can get to Surrey this summer to see “P” for Peter.

Russ Manson Victoria, B.C.

Editor: Fred Gardam would like to thank all the people who read the article about him and the Hampden in the “Airforce Magazine” and have helped out with a donation.

Bob Gordon, who is helping with the Hampden project works on the torpedo. The torpedo mock up is now at the museum resting on a trolley.

THE COLLECTION OF WING COMMANDER LEE-ROY L. BROWN, DFC

by Wayne D. Ralph

A few months ago the CMFT was the recipient of a large donation of personal effects and memorabilia belonging to the late Wing Commander Lee-Roy L.Brown, DFC. Among the more dramatic items in the collection were three aircraft machine guns, two German-made Spandaus, and one British Vickers, in working order.

A large number of photographic prints from World War One, a personal diary, and Royal Flying Corps logbook, are also part of the W/C Brown donation.

The photos were taken between 1917 and 1919, and range from aerial views of bombed towns in France, significant battle areas such as Vimy Ridge, Mons and Ypres, to captured German aeroplanes. In addition there are pictures of the newly formed Canadian Air Force at Shorehamby-Sea in England, and such well known WWW figures as General Sir Richard Turner, VC; and flyers Major Robert Leckie, DSO, DSC, DFC; Major Andrew McKeever, DSO, MC; and Major Albert Carter, DSO. The latter’s fatal crash in a Fokker DVII in May 1919 and his funeral is also included in the collection.

Above we have nine S.E.5a’s lined up for inspection by General Turner.

Brown was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in October 1916, and continued as an observer until wounded in the right arm on February 11th, 1917. He was sent to England to recuperate, and received home leave to Canada, returning for pilot training aboard the S.S. Metagama on July 13th.

He learned to fly on Maurice Farman Shorthorns at Turnhouse, near Edinburgh, Scotland. His first flight was with Lt. Riatt in Farman, A2433, for 35 minutes on August 3rd. He went solo for 10 minutes on August 21st after 5 hours 15 minutes dual logged in 13 flights. This was somewhat more than the usual dual instruction prior to solo for a World War One RFC trainee.

Advanced flying training was conducted on the B.E.2, followed by a few hours on the Martinsyde Buzzard scout, and a “fighting course” on AVRO 504s, after which Brown was selected to become a bomber pilot on the Dehavilland DH4. He flew in England through December, then was posted in February 1918 to Italy for a short course on Caproni bombers, training for 10 days and logging 14 flights.

Looking very gallant in front of a D.H.9 is Brown’s C.O., Capt. Walter Lawson, DFC.

Brown was posted to 57 Squadron at Le Quesnoy, France, and completed his first operational flight on DH4, B7618, on 11 April – a bomb raid on Saphines – Baupaume, dropping 12-25 lb. bombs. He flew eight more missions in April and, on one of these, blew up two ammunition dumps at Saphines with two-112 lb.bombs.

On May 9th Brown had a flying wire snap and jam the aileron controls. He crash-landed back at his aerodrome. He flew frequently in May 34 flights, 23 of which appeared to be bombing missions, and about 39 flights in June, about 28 of which were bombing missions. The majority of the flights were in airframe number D9258. The average length of a bombing mission was about one hour 50 minutes to 2 hours 10 minutes. Brown’s second longest mission was 3 hours 25 minutes on June 30th to Vaulx Vraucourt, dropping two 112-pound bombs.

His longest mission was an eventful 3 hours and 30 minutes on the 25th of June, flying at 19,000 feet with Air Mechanic Shepstone, performing aerial photography. Brown wrote in his logbook: “…Attacked by 6 Huns and badly shot about…”

According to the official history of the RCAF, Volume 1, Canadian Airmen and the First World War, Brown was shot down on a bombing mission against Moislains aerodrome on August 8th, 1918, and taken prisoner-of-war. He received the Distinguished Flying Cross for his service with 57 Squadron, and after the war served with No. 123 Squadron, renamed No. 2 Squadron, Canadian Air Force, at Shoreham-by-Sea. When the Canadian Air Force in England was disbanded, Brown joined the Royal Air Force and served for some years.

MARTINSYDE F.4 BUZZARD

• Span 32 ft 9 in
• Length 25 ft 5 in
• Empty Weight 1811 lb
• Gross Weight 2398 lb
• Max Speed 140 mph
• Ceiling 24 000 ft
• Fuel Capacity 38 gal
• Powerplant 300 h.p. Hispano-Suiza

The F.4 Buzzard started out life as a Martinsyde F.3 which was developed by the Brooklands based company in 1917. The F.3 was powered by a 275 hp. Rolls Royce Falcon Ill engine. This water cooled Vee 12 was a contemporary of the Liberty engine from America.

The F.3 performed well in tests and was ordered into production but because priority was given to the Bristol F.2B fighter, there was a shortage of the Falcon engines. As a result the aircraft was redesigned to use the 300 h.p. Hispano-Suiza 8 Fb engine and given the F.4 designation

The F.4 was very similar structurally to the F.3. The most visible difference was that the cockpit was moved further aft to improve the pilots view. The pilot sat high up with his eyes on level with the trailing edge of the top wing.

Broad chord wings of the usual fabric covered wire braced wooden structure were fitted and both the upper and lower sported ailerons. The lower wing roots were faired into the side of the fuselage. The deep fuselage was a wooden box girder cover ed with 3 ply and fabric.

The nose of the aircraft was shaped by the large radiator which was needed to keep the water for the inline engine cool Exhaust gases discharged through six stubs an either side of the front cowl. Buried under the cowl in front of the cockpit were twin synchronized Vickers machine-guns.

Two versions of the F.4 were manufactured, the Mark I and the longer range Mark la. In addition to the British manufacturing over would 1 000 airplanes, it was also intended that the Americans produce about 1,500 machines. However, by I wars end only about 370 Buzzards were built and less than 50 machines had been delivered to the R.AF. The F.4 did not see operational service during the war.

After the war, the Sopwith Snipe was chosen as the standard British fighter, so there was no longer a role in the RAF. for the F.4. Some of the aircraft wentto Ireland, Spain, Japan and Finland. The Buzzards in Finland were used as gunnery trainers as late as 1935.

This is believed to be a British aircrew running up the engine on an Albatros DV German Scout in 1918 after the Germans had surrendered their war machines. The Albatros was armed with ‘Spandau’ machine guns that were also part of the Brown collection.

The Brown collection included two Maxim 08/15 aircraft machine guns similar to the pair pictured here. Since one of the guns is capable of firing, the weapons are not being stored at the CMFT site. Only the National War Museum is permitted to exhibit old machine guns. Museum director and firearms expert, Doug Fraser provided invaluable assistance in dealing with the matter of these weapons.

Brown next to a Sopwith Snipe, the type of aircraft that became the British postwar fighter.

A civilian-registered Handley Page bomber is scrutinized carefully by an RAF crowd.

After leaving the RAF, he owned a Reo automobile dealership, and became one of the pioneers in British gliding. Sometime in the 1930s he returned to Canada. But he served in the Second World War in the RCAF, rising to the rank of wing commander, and serving in several non-flying positions in Iceland, and in France after the D-Day invasion in 1944.

Brown died in an automobile accident, after his retirement in Vancouver, B.C., in the 1970s. His collection had sat unnoticed for many years, until being donated by Alene. Brown, the Wing Commander’s daughter-in -law, to the Canadian Museum of Flight and Transportation.

Wayne D. Ralph is completing a biography of the life and times of Lt. Col. William G. Barker, VC, DSO, MC. He is seeking any unpublished information, including letters, diaries, and logbooks, that may help in filling out the details of this Canadian hero’s dramatic life. Wayne can be contacted at (604) 538-9434.

FROM THE DESK OF THE CHIEF ELF

HOMESITE REPORT

Surrey has directed us to vacate the present premises at the end of June 1995. But, we can’t afford to relocate anywhere at this time.

The Minister of Tourism, The Honourable Bill Barlee, is interested in our plight no one wants a repeat of the Transportation Museum closing boondoggle.

We have made yet another application to the City of Surrey for permission to remain at our present location on Crescent Road.

You can help. Please write a short note to: The Mayor and Council, Surrey City Hall, 14245-56th Ave., Surrey, BC, B3X 3A2, with a copy to: The Honourable Bill Barlee, Minister of Tourism, Room 124, Parliament Bldgs, Victoria, BC, V8V 1X4, asking that the museum be allowed to continue to stay on the present site, at least for the short term.

Letters and cards of support are going out from people who visit the Museum, but few from our own membership, yet we as members, have everything to lose if we don’t write and voice our concern.

Surrey Council wants us to move to the Cloverdale site (1.5 miles South of the town). but also want nearly $1,000,000.00 to provide site services and site preparation. It makes no sense to sell off most of our collection to pay for site services as we would have no collection to exhibit and no buildings to operate from, but some very nice drains to go down.

At this time, there are no affordable options. If we are unable to convince Surrey Council to extend our lease, on present site, we will in all likelihood close at the end of this season.

To be successful the museum needs to find a way to commercialize it’s operation either on our own, or affiliated with, a successful tourist attraction for a symbiotic relationship. A theme park, a golf course or any tourist-oriented facility would be ideal.

YOU CAN HELP! THERE ARE MANY WAYS, BUT THESE ARE JUST A FEW.

MOAN, GROAN, GLOOM & DOOM

you betcha! We are in trouble, and there is no point in sticking our heads in the sand. The lack of a sustainable homesite has been the number one problem since the Canadian Museum of Flight and Transportation was formed in 1977. We have a good collection of aircraft and lots of displayable small items, but, really, no where to display them. Much effort has been expended and is still ongoing to find an alternate site, and we haven’t given up yet.

We cannot expect any assistance from corporations or major donors until we have an affordable lease on a suitable property, or until we hold title to a piece of land. Any donor or supporter has to be assured that we will succeed. There has been no lack of hard work and determination on the part of members, but it has not been enough. In order to survive we have to find some way of commercializing the operation either on our own or as part of a larger tourism oriented operation.

CMFT PRESENTATION TO SURREY

In April the Canadian Museum of Flight made la presentation to the Surrey City Council Past director Jack Meadows spoke and the following are excerpts from his talk. Followed by the City of Surrey’s response.

“We are here to ask council to reconsider the notice to evictus…throughout its life the museum has operated at no cost to the govemment atany level, apart from a few make-work grants. The museum is entirely funded by members and contributions.

We are internationally known and respected. Recent visitors have included some from Bhutan, Andorra and Sweden…It is easy to forget that much of B.C. was opened up almost entirely with the support of aircraft. Without them our progress would have been so much slower and less effective. Can not Surrey be the one to take the credit for keeping such history alive!

If you visit us you will see the world’s only rebuilt Handley Page Hampden… the Lockheed Lodestar airliner that was the personal aircraft of Prime Ministers, the Piasecki helicopter once blessed by the Pope

Can you ladies and gentlemen consign such history and the volunteer labour on preservation and restoration, to extinction?

We believe it is in the direct interest of the City of Surrey that we stay and flourish

Dear Mr. Vernon:

Re: Canadian Museum of Flight and Transportation Vacating of City Premises at 13527 Crescent Road

I am writing to advise you that your letter of March 18, 1994 and your presentation to Council-in-Committee on April 18, 1994 with respect to the tenure of the Canadian Museum of Flight and Transportation at the present location were considered at the Special Council meeting held on Monday, May 2, 1994. At that meeting, City Council confirmed that you would be required vacate the site at 13527 Crescent Road by June 30, 1995.

Further to this, the Council would like to receive in writing a “moving plan” from you within the next three months to outline that the Canadian Museum of Flight and Transportation has an orderly plan to vacate this site.

Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours truly. Lance M. Iefron Manag, Progeny Services

The Canadian Museum of Flight and Transportation Presents the 13th Annual

WINGS AND WHEELS

SUN JULY 10 10:00 to 4:00

• Helicopter rides by Tundra Helicopters!
• Flying displays and flybys! – Military vehicles!
• Childrens play area! – Food served all day!
• Free parking! Lots of door prizes!
• Admission $3.00-Family $10.00- Children under 6 FREE!
• Fun for the whole family!!

The following weekend CMFT will host the

INTERNATIONAL NISSAN/ DATSUN MEET SUN JULY 17

This event is now on a par with Wings & Wheels as a fundraiser, but with much less work. Display cars are coming from all over western North America for this judged event. Volunteers needed for parking, traffic, food, ticket sales.

INDOOR DISPLAY? – MAYBE?

Volunteers are needed to help organize and move are from building #2 to make space to display the Fleet Finch, the Tiger way Moth, the Quickie, the Bumblebee, the Camel, and/or whatever fragile airplanes can be fitted in for display. EVERY SATURDAY FROM 9:30-3:30 IS WORKBEE DAY.

Sometimes volunteers are discouraged when they show up unannounced to work and find no one available to supervise, assemble materials, find tools or clean up afterwards. Until a capable Volunteer Coordinator comes forward, or funds can be found to hire one, Saturday is the only day we have a supervisor on hand, although special allowance arrangements can be made for anyone willing to work at least two days a week on a regular basis. To offer your assistance please call 535-1115.

NO VOLUNTEER LUNCHES

Until now, volunteers who have worked at the museum have always been treated to a free lunch. At the last directors meeting, directors voted to stop this practice. It is taking night. too much time for Ed Zalesky to shop, cook and wash up. Ed, who has been doing all this and much more for many years, must get on with the long neglected task of moving out Zalesky parts off the site.

RESTORATIONS

No aircraft restorations are actively underway now in the museum’s shop. The Waco Cabin biplane is still in the jigs, but work has halted. The pressing need is to make room in the building to set up displays, for general yard work, and for office and gift shop operation.

NORSEMAN ENGINE OVERHAUL

One of the last major expenses required to complete the restoration of the Norseman V CF-BSC to flying status is the cost to overhaul the engine. A friendly and qualified engine shop has quoted a very low price to do the job, but it exceeds the amount we have in the restoration fund by $3,500.

The Directors have decided to go ahead with the rebuild and will work to have the remainder of the funds available for the engine shop in time for completion. The funds for the rebuild are from an account dedicated strictly for the Norseman rebuild. Much of the money in the Norseman account has come from a casino

We also need a two or three blade propeller for the Norseman as well as some other finishing up work. Donations would be gratefully accepted to help us finish this project.

Mark Zalesky and Norman Weber hold aloft an 11′ long Zeppelin model. The airship, which weighs mere ounces, was donated to the museum by its builder Walter Winberg in 1985. This fantastic model was moved during cleanup of building number 2.
