The airlift pilot with the secretary Helga on the airfield at Berlin-Tempelhof. The two fell in love and decided to get married, but Fred was shifted to Austria. His bride, 19 years old at the time, followed him to Vienna in 1951, but before they could get through the proper channels er was moved again, this time to the Philippines. They spent all his vacation days together, until the beginning of this month when he hitchhiked to Berlin because he didn't have the money to purchase a ticket. His friends from the air force, however, slow him a hand, and so he flew in various military machines over India, Egypt, and Italy to reach Europe, and then Berlin. Now they are married, but on March 23 his vacation is over. Helga will have to wait a little longer, now as Mrs. Elkins, for her exit permit to the United States

Aug. 08, 1954 - New pilot training school. Instruction in jet aircraft control.: The new pilot-training scheme of the Royal Air force - known as Provost-Vampire Sequence, under which pilots qualify for their wings on jest aircraft is now under full operation. Pupils first enter No. 6. flying Training School at Ternhill, Shropshire, where a 30 weeks course is taken. They are taught to fly Provost Piston engine trainer. The Provost characteristically like the Vampire Jet. On passing out at Ternhill students are then passed on to No. 5 F.T.S. at Oakington, Cambs., for a further 30 weeks course on the Vampire T.11 a side-by-side jet trainer. At the end of this course they eventually receive their wings. This new scheme refuses training to two types of aircraft and reduces wastage, both in cost and time on the production of jet pilots

The envelopes are expected to drift ashore in time and the finders are asked to complete the enclosed cards and send them to the National Institute of Oceanography, nr. Godalming, Surrey. Each card carries an award of 2/6d, and is printed in eight different languages. The cards are numbered and the date and position at which each was dropped will be recorded. It will thus be possible to work out the approx speed and directions of the currents which will give a lead as to the direction taken by oil dropped from ships at various points. Instructions on the cards are printed in eight different langua

Jun 06, 1954 - Escape from Italy's Sing-Sing: when four criminals escaped from Volterra's fortress-like prison on Monday night they were sought by police and police dogs all over Italy. They were Carlo Bollino, 30, a wild bandit who wasn't due for release until the year 2000, Rubina Bonora, 35 thief and murderer not legally due for release until 2030; Peitro Bagliesi, 31 serving a life sentence and Pasquale Rossi, 33, confirmed delinqeunt with 14 years to serve. Their break-out in plan and execution rivalled some of the escape and evasion stories of American and British prisoners of war during the last war. With little more than their hands, a file and a scalpel, they managed to bore through three great walls. to investigators. Their escape went through the wall of their cell into an adjoining one which was unlocked. From there they crossed a corridor into another unlocked cell. Through the walls of this cell they reached an unused chapel. To break out of this they had to go through em

Jan. 01, 1954 - Preparing to drop envelopes into the sea admiralty take part in oil Pollution research: As a contribution to the campaign against the pollution of the beaches by oil residue jettisoned by ships, 10,000 plastic envelopes are to be dropped by aircraft of Coastal Command over a radius of approx 500 miles from the Bay of Biscay to a point half way between the hebrides and Iceland. The envelopes are expected to drift ashore in time and the finders are asked to complete the enclosed cards and send them to the National Institute of Oceanography, nr. Godalming, Surrey. Each card carries an award of 2/6d, and is printed in eight different languages. The cards are numbered and the date and position at which each was dropped will be recorded. It will thus be possible to work out the approx speed and directions of the currents which will give a lead as to the direction taken by oil dropped from ships at various points. Instructions on the cards are printed in eight different langua

Apr. 04, 1954 - New 170 m.p.h. wonder car has trials: Mr. David Brown, head of the David Brown Corporation which turns out luxury cars, farm tractors, gears and machinery introduced a new wonder car to the world yesterday. It will do 170 miles an hour. It will develop 350 horse power and will be a new challenge to Continental cars in sports car races. Mr. Brown who has vast experience of high performance cars and made his first model at the age of 17, made the successful tests. Yesterday, with his new wonder car Lagonda he emerged as Britain's No. 1 racing car personality the only man in the country to command two separate race teams. For he already runs the Aston-Martin team. Now at a cost of £10,000, he is builidng two of the new 12 cyclinder int he 24 hour Le Mans road race in June. Britain will see one at Silversone on May 15, when Reg Parnell will drive it in the International Sports race

May 05, 1954 - John Cobb's Racing Car Used In Demonstration Of Retractable Aircraft Brake Parachute: Early in 1951, the C.Q. Parachute Company began work on a scheme to dispense with the necessity for jettisoning an aircraft braking parachute at the end of the landing run. A stowage system was devised by which the parachute could be automatically repacked ready for the next operation. It was decided that the parachute should be stowed in a telescopic cylinder, the rear and outer part of the cylinder being arranged to slide forwards over the inner and forward part, at the same time as the canopy was ejected rearwards by a piston engergized by a large coil spring. To retract the parachute it is only necessary to switch on the electirc winch motor. The attachment strop and parachute rigging lines would then be wound on to the drum, and when this action was complete, the telescopic cylinder would automatically extend, shrouding and stowing the parachute canopy. Seeing its possibilities as

Instruction In Jet Aircraft Control: The new pilot-training scheme of the Royal Air Forces - known asprovost-vampire Sequence, under which pilots qualify for their wings on jet aircraft is now under full operation. Pupils first enter No. 6. Flying Training School, at Ternhill, Shropshire, where a 30 weeks course is taken.. They are taught to fly provost pi ~ ton engine trainer. The Provost is characteristically like the Vampire Jet. On passing out at Ternhill students then go on to No. 5. Flying Training School at Oakington, Cambridgeshire for a further 30 weeks training on the Vampire T ~ ll a side-by side jet trainer. At the end of this course they finally obtain their wings. This new scheme reduces training to two types of aircraft and reduses wastage, both in cost and time on the production of jet pilots

May 05, 1954 - The Alveena Saga Ends With A Sailor's Tribute - Magnificent! Hundreds of Breton fishermen gathered on the stone jetty at the little harbour of Concarnean, France, yesterday, to acknowledge the courage and seamanship of two men and a woman from Britain. They watched 31-year old Cowes boat builder, Mr. Wallace Clark, step ashore with Mr. and Mrs. Norman Hunter from the 35 ft. yacht Alveena, which had tossed helplessly at the whim of Atlantic storms for 60 hours. They heard one of the three any:” We shall sail her back alone on Friday”. Then from M. Louie Peron, certain of the French trawler L'Amazone, which towed the Alveena to safety, the Bretons heard:” After what they have been through this is magnificent. For those 60 hours the Alveena had been drifting helplessly, her rudder broken, her engine out of action, and her radio ruined by salt water. Mr. Peron first sighted the yacht, apparently deserted, 29 miles off the Scillies on Tuesday morning. A storm was raging. Then
