During 1943 there was produced, for trial purposes, a limited edition of the so-called Experimental Astronomical Navigation Tables (E.A.N.T.s). For various reasons these tables were not adopted for general service use in the Royal Air Force, and copies are no longer available. The tables possess some points of interest, which are described below for the first time.

First Time

It is a great honour, and of considerable personal pleasure to me, to be asked to give this lecture—pleasurable for a number of reasons. First, this is a unique occasion: this is the first time that a serving officer of the RAF has been asked to give the Sir Henry Royce Memorial Lecture and it is most appropriate that this should coincide with the 50th Anniversary Year of the RAF. Secondly, I have always taken a great interest in aeroengines, with which I have been closely associated throughout my service career as both pilot and engineer. My early apprentice training was done on the Rolls-Royce Condor engine.

New System

AbstractHypoxia training at the Royal Air Force Centre of Aviation Medicine (RAF CAM) has traditionally involved the use of a hypobaric chamber to induce hypoxia. While giving the student experience of both hypoxia and decompression, hypobaric chamber training is not without risks such as decompression sickness and barotrauma. This article describes the new system for hypoxia training known as Scenario-Based Hypoxia Training (SBHT), which involves the subject sitting in an aircraft simulator and wearing a mask linked by hose to a Reduced Oxygen Breathing Device (ROBD). The occupational requirements to be declared fit for this new training method are also discussed.
