PLANE - ME262 – FRANZ SCHALL - AA32816
DH Mosquito B XX, No.627 Squadron RAF, Woodhall Spa, Sept. 1944 Wing Commander Guy Gibson – VC, DSO*DFC*
REF: AA32816
Scale: 1:72
Dimensions: Wingspan: 230mm
Formed in November 1943 as part of
No.8 (PFF) Group, 627 Squadron were detached to No.5 Group, Bomber Command in April 1944 where they specialized in developing highly accurate ‘divebombing’ target-marking techniques, achieving high degrees of accuracy. During 1944-45, 627 Squadron operated by day and night, and their Mosquito aircraft were painted in Day Fighter colours with ‘invasion’ markings after D-Day. Mosquito KB267 was personally selected by the legendary ‘Dam Buster’ Wing Commander Guy Gibson and flown by him on his last operation, as ‘Master Bomber’ to a raid on Rheydt, Germany on 19th September 1944. On the return flight from Rheydt, for reasons which have never been firmly established the Mosquito crashed near the Dutch town of Steenbergen. Gibson and his co-pilot Squadron Leader James Warwick died in the crash and are buried in the town’s cemetery. Although no photographs of KB267 are known to exist, fragments of fuselage discovered at the crash site indicate that it was carrying these full markings.

AIRCRAFT - BOMBARDIER CRJ 100/200
The CRJ program was launched in March 1989 and with it Bombardier became the pioneer of the 50 seat jet class aircraft. Certified in July of 1992, the CRJ100 provided the high-speed advantage of
larger jets while operating economics, particularly long stage lengths, were closer to those of the turboprops. 1995 saw the introduction of more efficient engines and the 200 series was launched in 1996. Both the CRJ100 and CRJ200 have extended and long range versions with range up to 2,005 nm. The CRJ series has firmly established itself as one of the world’s quietest and most environmentally friendly family of aircraft. Another feature providing a definite asset for congested airports is the CRJ200 requires only a 75’ radius for an 180o turn.
In December 2003 the program reached a significant milestone, achieved only eight times since 1959 when the passenger jet age began, the delivery of the 1,000th CRJ aircraft. To date, the CRJ is the most successful regional aircraft program in history and the only regional aircraft program to reach 1,000 deliveries. 37 customers in over 20 countries that span the globe have ordered CRJ aircraft.
From Messier-Dowty’s perspective, the high cycle operations of the regional jet prompted a different approach to landing gear design to meet its more intensive operating requirements. High volume production led to the employment of innovative procurement and manufacturing processes - such as assembly rigs, parts kits and implementation of LEAN initiatives. In addition, to meet the needs of this growing operator base, Messier-Dowty has broadened its aftermarket support network.

AIRCRAFT - DASSAULT FALCON 7X
The Falcon 7X is Dassault Aviation’s latest and first fly-by -wire business jet, designed to fly 5,700 nm with eight passengers at .80 Mach Maximum Operating Speed (MMO). First flight is scheduled
to take place in the second quarter of 2005 with FAA and EASA certification and first customer deliveries at the end of 2006.
Messier-Dowty was selected in 2001 to provide the integrated landing gear system for the Falcon 7X, which in addition to the dressed landing gears, includes subsystems for landing gear control and indication, steering control, plus electrical harnesses, door mechanisms, actuators and uplocks.
The Falcon 7X landing gears will be Messier-Dowty’s first commercial gears that employ HVOF (High Velocity Oxy Fuel) metal processing. As a replacement to traditional chromium plating, HVOF is an advanced metallic ceramic coating that is bonded to the base metal through a specialized application process. More environmentally friendly than chromium plating, HVOF is also expected to provide performance benefits through improved wear on dynamic joints and seal surfaces.

AIRCRAFT - SUKHOI SUPERJET 100
Messier-Dowty was selected in October 2003 to provide the integrated landing gear system for the Russian Regional Jet program (Superjet 100), marking the company’s entry into the larger regional jet
market. Messier-Dowty is responsible for managing the design and production of the entire integrated Superjet 100 landing gear system less the braking system, for which the airframer plans to retain control. Typically, an integrated landing gear system includes subsystems for landing gear control and indication, emergency extension, steering control and brake control, plus electrical harnesses, door mechanisms, actuators, uplocks, wheels, brakes and tires.
The Russian Superjet 100 program is led by the Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company with support from Ilyushin, Yakovlev and Boeing. First flight is planned for early 2006 with first deliveries taking place in 2007. The Superjet 100 family will comprise 60, 75 and 95 seat variants, all powered by the SM146 engine being developed by Snecma and NPO Saturn. Operational advantages include superior range plus an optional robust four-wheel bogie on the main landing gear for enhanced landing capabilities on uneven runways. Although primary demand for the Superjet 100 is expected to originate from Russia and other members of the Commonwealth of Independent States, Sukhoi and its partners plan to market the airplane worldwide with Russian and FAA/JAA certification.
