283 LYNX - YEOVIL'S REVOLUTIONARY YEARLING First flown a year ago and now the subject of a rapidly mounting development effort, the Lynx is the first wholly-new helicopter designed and produced by Yeovil-based Westland Helicopters Ltd since the company began to specialise in rotorcraft production 25 years ago. We present a detailed account of development to date, together with colour photographs and a cutaway drawing.
291 FRONT OFFICE EVOLUTION - II The second instalment in the occasional series in which L F E Coombs studies developments in cockpit arrangements from the era of the Wright biplane to the present day. This instalment deals with cockpit design in the first multi-engined aircraft, from 1913 to 1930.
295 MASTERING HEINKEL'S MINIMUS Produced just too late to see operational service in World War II, the Heinkel He 162 was an ingenious attempt to reap the benefits of the then-new turbojet in the shortest possible time and at the lowest possible cost. The subsequent examination and flight-testing of captured He 162s in the UK is described in our "Viewed from the Cockpit" series by Captain E M Brown, RN, his description of the characteristics of this unique combat aircraft being accompanied by an exclusive cutaway drawing.
301 ARABIAN FLEDGLING: THE ROYAL SAUDI AIR FORCE A massive defence equipment programme adopted by Saudi Arabia has given that country's air arm a significant role in the turbulent Arabian Gulf area. The past history and present state of the RSAF is related in detail, this exclusive feature being illustrated with colour and black-and-white photographs.
309 FIREFLY: A MASTERPIECE FOR MATELOTS The second and final instalment of AIR ENTHUSIAST's coverage of the Fairey Firefly in the "Warbirds" series describes the evolution of the Mk 4 and subsequent variants, post-war operational use, including service in the Korean War, and lists the export orders for this versatile aircraft.
