WHAT'S IT ABOUT
This course will provide a theoretical and practical insight into aviation archaeology in the marine environment and will introduce participants to aircraft archaeology and its practical application in an archaeological context. Through theoretical presentations participants will see how the study of aircraft crash sites can contribute to the interpretation of the archaeological record.
Through presentations and online practical exercises, participants will learn the key aspects of relevant legislation relating to aircraft. They will also learn about avenues of research to help identify aircraft, and the issues around the excavation and recovery of aircraft from the marine environment. This learning will be further enforced by two days of practical learning at the Fleet Air Arm Museum.
The course will cover aspects of UK legislation, with other nations legislation outlined; finding and researching aircraft; history and construction; excavation, recording and recovery of aircraft from the marine environment; and, conservation, preservation, and restoration.
Before the in-person course there will be the requirements for participants to watch 4 hours video tutorials. There will be study sessions and quizzes looking at aircraft construction and research sources during the course.
WHO'S IT FOR?
The course is aimed at individuals undertaking the NAS Education Programme, as well as professional archaeologists wanting to increase their knowledge of aircraft archaeology.
NAS members will earn 5 credits/day for attending
