The FIRE Project team wishes all our readers a Happy and Successful 2010.
For us, 2009 has presented many challenges and has seen the FIRE Project achieve a number of important targets, moving into the next Project phase.
There has been a significant increase in readership for all portals, which is a great reward for the efforts of our volunteers.
We welcome comment and suggestion from our readers to help us to improve the presentation and content of all of the portals and of the Central Information Resource.
We greatly appreciate contribution of material for our news columns and databases. During 2010, we will be providing facilities for contributors to add material directly to the FIRE Project system.
The coming year will bring its own opportunities and challenges and we hope that every reader will find success and happiness.

Since its inception in 1977, the Marion – Bermuda Race has been a Corinthian event and yachts are accepted by invitation. The spirit of the race is that all yachts and crew are participating for the joy and pleasure of sailing, competition, and the camaraderie that accompanies such an offshore event.
The race provides an opportunity for cruising yachts and amateur crews to participate in an ocean race and a rendezvous in Bermuda. It encourages the development of blue water sailing skills on seaworthy yachts that can be handled safely offshore with limited crew. Yachts may not be entered with an intention of furthering a commercial or trade purpose for captain, crew or sponsor.
The Marion to Bermuda Cruising Yacht Race is organized by The Beverly Yacht Club, The Blue Water Sailing Club and The Royal Hamilton Amateur Dinghy Club for the Marion Bermuda Cruising Yacht Race Association.

We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its memory. If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people attending us would have our mobile phone but wouldn’t know who to call. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency? Hence this ‘ICE’ (In Case of Emergency) Campaign.

The author has traced the full history of British naval aviation from the writings of Admiral Thomas Cockrane more than two hundred years ago, through the use of balloons and then towed kites to the first aeroplanes and airships, on through the triumphs of World War II and into the Cold War, then through the Energy Wars and on into the future with new large carriers due to build and the increasing use of UAVs. This is not the book for those seeking a politically correct history of the Fleet Air Arm, but it is an accurate account of the extraordinary story of innovation and great courage played against the neglect and failures of politicians keen to save money. By adopting the electronic format, the publisher has been able to produce a heavily illustrated book with concise but comprehensive text at a very low price.

Just out, this eBook tells the story of British Naval Aviation, and a gripping story it is.
Fly Navy 100 will celebrate one hundred years of the Fleet Air Arm in May 2009.
The full story of British Naval Aviation starts during the Napoleonic Wars at the start of the Nineteenth Century.
Since 1908, the Royal Navy has fought a continuing battle to retain or regain control of naval aviation. Royal Navy aviators have been transfered into the Army’s Royal Flying Corps, then back under Admiralty service when the Royal Naval Air Service was formed one month before the outbreak of war in 1914, then transferred into the newly formed Royal Air Force in 1918, before returning to the Royal Navy in 1937 as the Fleet Air Arm.
The author has begun with the papers of Admiral Thomas Cockrane, followed the use of balloons and man-carrying kites, into the story of powered naval flight, two World Wars and a selection of other conflicts in which British Naval Aviation has played an important role. The author then continues on into the future with new carriers, supersonic STOVL fighters and the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles that are starting to take over roles from manned naval aircraft.
The eBook contains a great many images, including images that have never been seen by the public before.
