皇家海军冷战 Buccaneer飞行员：驾驶著名的海上突击机

Steve Kershaw | 2023 | ISBN: 139904012X | English | 216 pages | ePUB | 6 MB

This is a vivid and powerful story of life on board the last of our great Second World War-era aircraft carriers, modernized to serve beyond their time. It is a story of the Cold War which conveys the trials and tribulations of flying one of the best-loved military aircraft in history.

Steve Kershaw joined the Royal Navy in 1963. He began flying training in 1968 and progressed to the Blackburn Buccaneer – a world-class naval strike jet that was designed to fly very fast at ultra-low altitudes. In 1970, Steve joined 800 Naval Air Squadron, which embarked on HMS Eagle on its epic final cruise.

The voyage to the Far East was far from trouble-free – an aircraft crashed into the sea, there was a devastating explosion on board the carrier, and then two sailors were arrested for murder in Auckland. New year 1972 saw HMS Eagle decommissioned and 800 NAS disbanded.

Steve was transferred to 845 Naval Air Squadron, on which he flew Wessex helicopters. Embarked on HMS Hermes, the squadron supported Royal Marines Commandos during their deployment to the mountains of Norway under NATO plans for a European war. During this time, helicopters were strangely sabotaged on board and one of them crashed into a fjord at night.

By 1974, HMS Ark Royal was the last remaining Royal Navy fixed-wing aircraft carrier to which Steve returned to fly Buccaneers on 809 Squadron. It was in this period that he participated in a NATO exercise in Norway and a Mediterranean cruise.

On return, the squadron prepared for a bombing competition between the RAF and Royal Navy Buccaneers. As part of this, Steve flew a low-level sortie off the Lincolnshire coast. The light was fading, and he was struggling to see the target ahead. He failed to see they were losing height. The aircraft hit the sea. Steve and his observer, David, were ejected into the water.

In this book, Steve’s story is revealed by his son, Simon, through the words of his father, drawn from a mass of letters sent by him, and the recollections of those who served alongside him.

这是一部生动而有力的二战末期航空母舰上生命的画面，这些航母经过现代化改造成能够在其时代之外服役。这是冷战的故事，传达了驾驶历史上最受欢迎军事飞机所面临的考验和挫折。 斯威特·克什纳于1963年加入英国皇家海军。他在1968年开始飞行训练，并晋升为布莱克顿海狸式——一种设计用于以超低空速进行快速飞行的顶尖舰载攻击喷气机。1970年，斯威特加入了800海军航空中队，在鹰号航母上开始了其史诗般的最后一段航行。 前往远东的航行并非一帆风顺——有一架飞机坠入海中，航母上发生了毁灭性的爆炸，并且在奥克兰有两名水手因谋杀而被逮捕。1972年新年时，鹰号航母退役，800海军航空中队解散。 斯威特被转移到845海军航空中队，在那里他驾驶西斯科直升机。它搭载于赫尔墨斯号上，该中队在北约欧洲战争计划下支持英国皇家海军陆战队突击队在其挪威山区部署期间使用。在这个时期，直升机在舰上被奇怪地破坏，并有一架在夜间撞入峡湾。 到1974年时，已经没有皇家海军固定翼航空母舰可以让斯威特再驾驶海鹰号上的海狸式了。他参加了挪威的一次北约演习以及地中海巡航。 返回后，该中队为英国皇家空军与皇家海军之间的海狸式飞机进行低空轰炸竞赛做准备。作为其中的一部分，斯威特在林肯郡海岸进行了低空飞行。天色渐暗时，他难以看到前方的目标。他未能注意到他们正在失去高度。飞机坠入大海。斯威特和观察员大卫都被弹射出水面。 在这本书中，斯威特的故事通过他儿子西蒙用父亲的信件作为来源，以及那些与他并肩服役的人们的回忆被揭示出来。
