Period
Table 17.17 Summary of Key Areas of Aviation Potential Summary
Pre-1939
Minimum potential for material associated with the early development of aircraft. Aircraft of this period may represent early construction techniques (e.g. those constructed of canvas covered wooden frames) or may be associated with the mass-production of fixed wing aircraft in large numbers during WWI.
Minimum potential for material associated with the development of civil aviation during the 1920s and 1930s, associated with the expansion of civilian flight from the UK to a number of European and worldwide destinations.
1939 to 1945
Very high potential for WWII aviation remains, particularly as the East Anglian region acted as a hub for hostile activity. Aircraft of this period are likely to be representative of technological innovations propelled by the necessities of war which extended the reliability and range of aircraft. This potential is signified by the recorded location of WWII Air / Sea Rescue operations within East Anglia THREE and offshore cable corridor (Volume 2, Figure 17.14), a potential which is explained in greater detail in Volume 3, Appendix 17.1.
Post-1945
Potential for aviation remains associated with military activities dominated by the Cold War, the evolution of commercial travel and recreational flying and the intensification of offshore industry (including helicopter remains). Aircraft of this period may be representative of advances in aerospace engineering and the development of the jet engine.
