Самолет-разведчик и самолет общего назначения с экипажем из 2-3 человек

Варианты

Семейство Fairey III

<...>
   Обозначение Fairey IIIE, вероятно, не присваивалось ни одной машине, хотя отдельные источники приписывают его цельнометаллическому самолету для радиотехнической разведки. Заключительной и самой многочисленной модификацией стал Fairey IIIF, составивший костяк авиапарка британских ВВС и авиации ВМС в период между двумя мировыми войнами. Планировавшийся как замена Fairey IIID, вариант Fairey IIIF был построен в соответствии со Спецификацией 19/24, которая определяла характеристики двухместного сухопутного многоцелевого самолета для ВВС и трехместного корректировщика огня/разведывательного самолета для авиации ВМС. Прототип поднялся в воздух в марте 1926 года и имел деревянные крылья и деревянно-металлический фюзеляж, но серийные машины отличались уже полностью металлическим фюзеляжем, а поздние варианты - вдобавок и металлическими крыльями. Fairey IIIF строился в четырех основных вариантах, но каждый из них имел несколько подвариантов. Вслед за двумя прототипами последовала предсерийная партия из 10 самолетов, британская морская авиация получила 352 самолета, из которых первые 50 включали самолеты предсерийного заказа и 40 самолетов Fairey IIIF Mk I с двигателями Napier Lion VA, а остальная партия включала 33 самолета Fairey IIIF Mk II и 269 самолетов Fairey IIIF Mk III различных модификаций, но все - с двигателями Lion XIA.
   Британские ВВС получили 243 самолета - все их варианты имели обозначение Fairey IIIF Mk IV. Первые поступившие в ВВС самолеты пришли из предсерийного заказа для ВМС, шесть самолетов были переданы в 1927 году в 47-ю эскадрилью в Хартуме (для замены самолетов Bristol Fighter). Первыми самолетами, построенными специально для ВВС, стали 43 машины моделей Mk IV и Mk IVCM, в январе 1928 года они были поставлены в 207-ю эскадрилью, дислоцированную в Истчёрче - для замены старых DH.9A.
   Самолеты Fairey IIIF выполнили ряд рекордных полетов, но постепенно им на смену пришел Fairey Gordon - оснащенный звездообразным двигателем вариант, изначально известный как Fairey IIIF Mk V. Авиация британских ВМС получила первый Fairey IIIF в 1928 году, он поступил в 440-й отряд (звено) на смену Fairey IIID. После этого 12 авиаотрядов заменили самолетами Fairey IIIF более старые Avro Bison, Blackburn Blackburd и Ripon. Самолеты состояли на вооружении авиаотрядов всех британских авианосцев того времени и дислоцировались на каждой авиабазе морской авиации, а в варианте поплавкового гидросамолета - находились на вооружении оснащенных катапультами линейных кораблей и крейсеров.
   Самолеты также приняли участие в различных экспериментах, одним из наиболее интересных стало переоборудование трех самолетов для автоматического управления или радиоуправления при использовании в качестве самолета-мишени для тренировки артиллерийских расчетов. Под обозначением Queen IIIF первые два самолета были запущены с катапульты британского авианосца "Вэлиант" в январе и апреле 1932 года, но оба потерпели аварию после 18 и 25 секунд полета, соответственно. А вот третий самолет успешно поднялся в воздух в сентябре 1932 года, а в январе 1933 года он был запущен в свой первый полет как мишень - также успешно. Самолет Queen IIIF выжил - флотские артиллеристы, потратив два часа и весь боезапас, так и не смогли сбить его. Однако в мае 1933 года британские моряки все же подтвердили свое высокое мастерство - после 20 минут стрельбы самолет-мишень был сбит на высоте 2440 м неподалеку от Мальты.
   Оснащенный поплавками Fairey IIIF с ноября 1932 года стали заменять на Hawker Osprey, перевооружение было закончено к 1935 году. Остальные Fairey IIIF с 1933 года стали заменяться на Fairey Seal - принятый на вооружение британских ВМС аналог самолета Gordon. Известны следующие экспортные поставки самолетов Fairey IIIF: три машины в Авиакорпус ирландской Армии, шесть - в Аргентину, две - в Новую Зеландию, десять - в Грецию и одну - в Чили. На самолетах Fairey IIIF устанавливались различные двигатели, в том числе - звездообразный Armstrong Siddeley Jaguar VI мощностью 460 л. с. (343 кВт) и двигатель с водяным охлаждением Lorraine 12Ed мощностью 450 л. с. (336 кВт), которым оснащались самолеты для Аргентины. На них позднее были установлены звездообразные двигатели Armstrong Siddeley Panther VI мощностью 550 л. с. (410 кВт). Другими двигателями, устанавливавшимися в экспериментальных целях, были Rolls-Royce Kestrel II мощностью 635 л. с. (474 кВт), Panther IIА мощностью 525 л. с. (391 кВт), Bristol Jupiter VIII мощностью 520 л.с. (388 кВт) и Napier Culverin аналогичной мощности, а также выпускавшийся по лицензии дизельный двигатель Junkers Jumo 205C.
   Несколько Fairey IIIF эксплуатировались в гражданской авиации, один из них - модель Mk IIIM - в 1934 году принимал участие в гонках на приз Мак-Робертсона на маршруте из Великобритании в Австралию. Самолет остался в Австралии, а в 1936 году был перерегистрирован в Новой Гвинее. В 1930 году два самолета Mk IIIM были проданы авиакомпании "Air Survey Co. Ltd", но в том же году один из них был потерян, а другой продолжал аэрофотосъемку до 1934 года.

    THE STAGE SET: This aerial photograph of the Royal Air Force Display machines assembled in the operational park at Hendon forms a fitting introduction to the pictures, in the ensuing pages, of the Display in progress. There are eight monoplanes in the assembly - Ansons (third row) and Clouds (fifth).
    Line-up of about 130 1936 RAF Display participants - all biplanes except for the Ansons and Saro Cloud amphibians.
    The stage is set for the 1936 RAF Display at Hendon. The monoplanes (Ansons and Saro Clouds) are totally outnumbered by the biplanes including Heyfords, Bulldogs, Gauntlets, Fairey IIIFs, Harts, Hinds, Tiger Moth, Overstrands etc, etc. This entire area has since disappeared beneath a sea of bricks and concrete.

    The extensive adaptability of the Fairey III.F. aircraft is already well-known. The photograph, however, shows this adaptability extended to a still further degree, by the variety of engines that can be installed, each III.F. aircraft being fitted with a different type of engine, namely, Napier "Lion" XI, Rolls-Royce "F" type, Bristol "Jupiter" VIII, and the Lorraine 12 Ed. The general utility and high efficiency of the Fairey III.F. is already confirmed by the large numbers in use with the Royal Air Force at home and overseas, and with the Air Forces of the Dominions, and of Foreign Governments.

    ADAPTABILITY! This picture of four Fairey III.F biplanes is an interesting "study in noses," and also illustrates the adaptability of this machine as regards power plant. Each machine is fitted with a different engine, viz. :- (From left to right) Lorraine Type Ed. 12; Bristol "Jupiter," Series VIII; Napier "Lion XIA"; and Rolls-Royce F.XI.

    SCALE EFFECT! Two views of the Fairey III F (Napier "Lion"), one being of a scale model, and the other being of one of the actual machines recently supplied to the Irish Free State Air Force. Which is which, we leave to our readers to guess. (N.B. - No prize given.)

    OUR FIRST PRIME MINISTER TO FLY: Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, Prime Minister of the new Government, thanking his pilot on landing at Hendon on June 20 after flying from Lossiemouth in the R.A.F. Fairey IIIF, a distance of 500 miles. He is seen being received by Wing-Commander W. J. Y. Guilfoyle, O.B.E., M.C., q.s. The pilot was Flight-Lieut. H. W. Heslop.

    Duncan Menzies (in white overalls) beside a Fairey IIIF in Egypt, probably while he was serving with No 47 Sqn. Moving from Helwan to Khartoum in October 1927, the unit used its Fairey IIIFs to co-operate with the Sudan Defence Force in policing the desert regions of the area.

  • Flight 1937-11 / Flight

    Target gliders have been successfully launched from the top centre sections of Fairey IIIF and other aircraft.

  • Flight 1931-06 / Flight

    The photograph is unique, as our photographer has caught a III F just as the pilot gave the rudder a final kick to enable him to see the deck before landing. The smoke and hot air from the funnel are apt to cause bumps and bad visibility when coming up astern, and it is necessary to slew the aircraft about somewhat before putting her down in order to get a clear view of the deck.

  • Flight 1930-05 / Flight

    A view taken from the bridge, of a Fairey III F just landing on the deck. Astern is the destroyer which always stands by when any flying is in progress; at the side of the deck can be seen the aerial masts now in the lowered position, and also the landing crew standing on the platforms at the side of the deck ready to jump up and hold on to the machine as soon as she comes level with them. In front of the aircraft are the white guiding lines on the deck between which it is always endeavoured to land, and thereby ensure that the best use is made of the width of the deck and also minimise the danger of going overboard or hitting the funnel.

    A scene aboard HMS Glorious in 1930.
    A Fairey III F landing. The landing crew are just running out to hold on to each wing tip, and thus prevent the aircraft slewing toward the ship side. This would not necessarily mean a disaster, as right on the right will be seen the wire netting pallisades which prevent a machine from actually falling into the sea should she slew round.

    The series is taken from a cinema film, and are really self-explanatory. The Fairey III F can be seen approaching and finally landing.

    Three Fairey III F's and three Fairey Flycatchers lined up on the top flying deck. Here again one can get a good idea of the size of this deck, and can see that the landing and taking-off space available is considerably larger than many of the landing fields used by some of our joyriding firms who operate without a constant wind speed over their fields such as can be provided here at will.

The unsightly Blackburn was designed for reconnaissance and gunnery fire control, and proved very successful in this role. The engine was a 450 h.p. Napier Lion IIB.

A view looking down into the cockpit gives one a very good idea as to the room the operator has when working the camera. This cockpit can be re-arranged to carry three passengers, should it be desired to use the machine for transporting the ground staff from one spot to another or for any such similar work.
