Tupolev ANT-20 Maxime Gorki – 1930's

Le Tupolev ANT-20 est le plus grand avion de conception entièrement métallique des années 30. Avion de propagande de l'union soviétique par excellence, l'avion disposait d'un puissant émetteur radio appelé 'la voix du ciel', d'une imprimerie, d'un laboratoire photographique, d'un projecteur de film avec son pour projeter des films en vol et d'une bibliothèque.

Lors d'un vol de démonstration au-dessus de Moscou le 18 mai 1935, il s'écrasa suite à une manoeuvre de boucle autour de son aile d'un chasseur Polikarpov I-5 piloté par Nikolaï Blaguine. L'accident fit 45 tués dont le pilote de chasse, l'équipage, les 33 passagers ainsi que neuf personnes au sol. La responsabilité de cet accident sera portée sur le pilote de chasse, les autorités indiquant que cette figure n'était pas prévue au programme... Le nom du pilote est à l'origine du néologisme 'blaguinisme' signifiant 'désobéissance effrontée face à l'autorité'.

Would you fly a plane knowing the company that made it was going to crash by the end of the year?

For reasons by owner John David Tinsley (of Tinsley's Chicken 'n rolls fame), he had MSN 2145 reregistered and her paint scheme altered, mainly replacing the tail logo upon the tail.

The Airport Visitor : the annual guide to civil aviation : ed : S/Ldr. N. J. Freeman and G. D. H. Linton : Penman Enterprises : London : [1953] by mikeyashworth Via Flickr: An interesting booklet aimed at the civil aviation enthusiast in days when a trip to an official viewing area at one of Britain's civil airports was quite the day out. Several here are noted as having "broadcast commentaries and recorded music" to help set the scene. The booklet lists all Britain's civil Customs airports, those operated by the Ministry of Civil Aviation or by operators on their 'behalf' and many of which still had Ministry of Defence links, along with non-Customs licensed aerodromes. As well as this there are descriptions of the various airlines, the 'planes they operate and an aircraft log book along with information as to ground activities such as control and approach radar. The cover is by artist Lawrence Fish (1919 - 2009) a noted commercial and advertising illustrator and puts Silver City Airways firmly in the picture. Silver City, formed in 1948, were noted for their "air car ferry" services operated primarily from Lympne to France and from Southampton to Cherbourg. The fleet of Bristol 170 Mk.21 Freighters and Mk.32 'Superfreighter' seen loading here carred three cars and twenty passengers. The freighters also carried, as can be seen, bicycles. The helicopter seen above is how Silver City saw the future; the company put considerable effort into considering the adoption of a freight helicopter and detachable "pannier" system for moving freight at a time when Fairey Aviation were developing the Rotodyne and Blackburn Aircraft were developing the SP60. The project never came to fruition.

Civil aviation refers to all non-military aviation activities, including commercial and general aviation. It encompasses passenger and cargo air transport services operated by airlines, as well as private, business, and recreational flying. Governed by international organizations like the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and national aviation authorities, civil aviation ensures safety, security, and operational efficiency. It includes scheduled flights, charter services, air taxi operations, and humanitarian missions.

Acquired by the Rowan Drilling Company's Marine Division in 1995, they re-registered her as N14RD and stripped off the previous owner's paint to reveal the aluminum that was hidden since the 1950's.
