Regiment Huzaren van Boreel The Regiment Huzaren van Boreel is an armoured regiment of the Royal Netherlands Army , named for Willem Francois Boreel . It currently serves in the armoured Intelligence , Surveillance , Target Acquisition , Reconnaissance ( ISTAR ) role ; the regiment provides two armoured reconnaissance squadrons assigned to each of the army ' s two mechanized brigade s , while an STA artillery unit , an electronic warfare unit , Human Intelligence ( HUMINT ) unit and imagery intelligence unit all formed into a single battalion attached to the Combat Support Brigade . Armoured reconnaissance . The most important role of the regiment Huzaren van Boreel is armoured reconnaissance . To perform this task , the regiment has two brigade reconnaissance squadrons , one per mechanized brigade : 42 BVE ( Brigade Verkennings Eskadron ) for the 13th Mechanized Brigade , 43 BVE for the 43rd Mechanized Brigade . Nowadays , the motto of these units is " See without being seen " , as opposed to the cold - war period " Find , Bind and Strike " , where the units would find the enemy , engage them , deliver an artillery strike , and speed off . The goal here was to delay the Russians long enough for NATO troops to arrive . With the new philosophy the combat task of these units has faded away . Where the units previously were armed with tanks , AIFVs and even their own artillery , nowadays they are equipped with the state of the art Fennek reconnaissance vehicle . A BVE typically consists of three recon platoons , eight vehicles each , 24 people total , an anti tank platoon , equipped with four Fennek MRAT ( with the Spike medium range anti tank missile ) , a logistics platoon and a staff platoon . The two armoured reconnaissance squadrons of 103 ISTAR battalion , 103 and 104 GGVE ( ground based reconnaissance squadron ) , are similar equipped , but instead of an anti tank section , they have three Fenneks to support a Tactical Air Control Party in the forward air control role .
Unsinkable aircraft carrier An unsinkable aircraft carrier is a term sometimes used to refer to a geographical or political island that is used to extend the power projection of a military force . Because such an entity is capable of acting as an airbase and is a physical landmass not easily destroyed , it is , in effect , an immobile aircraft carrier that cannot be sunk and cannot be moved . The term " unsinkable aircraft carrier " first arose during World War II , to describe the islands and atolls in the Pacific Ocean which became strategically important as potential airstrips for American bomber s in their transoceanic war against Japan . To this end , the US military engaged in numerous island hopping operations to oust the occupying Japanese forces from such islands ; afterwards the US Navy Seabee s would often have to construct airstrips there from scratch — sometimes over entire atolls — quickly , in order to support the air operations against Japan . Malta was sometimes described as an unsinkable aircraft carrier during World War II , making it a target of the Axis powers . The US military is said to have considered Taiwan since the Chinese Civil War , and the British Isles and Japan during the Cold War , as unsinkable aircraft carriers . In 1983 , Japan ese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone pledged to make Japan an " unsinkable aircraft carrier in the Pacific " , assisting the US in defending against the threat of Soviet bombers . During the Second World War Britain gave some consideration to building virtually unsinkable aircraft carriers from ice reinforced with sawdust ( Project Habakkuk ) . A model was made , and serious consideration was given to the project , with a design displacing 2 . 2 million tons and accommodating 150 twin - engined bombers being considered , but it was never produced .

Broadmeadow Aerodrome Broadmeadow Aerodrome was an aerodrome located at District Park , Broadmeadow , Newcastle , Australia . It began operating in 1929 and closed in 1963 . The Newcastle Aero Club selected a site after careful consideration and began preparations and cleared the land at District Park in 1928 , to create a grassed runway .

Early pioneering aviators Charles Kingsford Smith , Jean Batten and Bert Hinkler visited the aerodrome during their flights up and down the east coast of Australia . During World War II , the Royal Australian Air Force ( RAAF ) utilised the aerodrome as a satellite aerodrome to RAAF Williamtown . The Newcastle Aero Club workshops overhauled RAAF trainers and manufactured wooden wing - tips for the Mosquito fighter bomber . The aerodrome was utilised by PBY Catalina , Supermarine Walrus and Dakotas .
