Christopher Draper

Like most RNAS and RFC Squadrons by now, it was a multi-national unit, manned by British, Australians (including the leading Australian ace Robert A. Little), Canadians, and at least one American.

Church of St Bartholomew, Yeovilton

Within the Fleet Air Arm Memorial Chapel modern stained glass has been installed with the badges of RNAS stations Gannet, Osprey, Heron, Seahawk and Deadalus.

Cranwell branch

Transporting materials and supplies to the RNAS Training Establishment along farm tracks was always difficult; a railway running parallel to Ermine Street from Ancaster was initially proposed, but severe gradients were found when surveying the route.

Drift Sight

By 1917 it was in widespread use in the RNAS, and was selected for the Handley Page O/400 bomber in RFC service as well.

Farman HF.20

It entered service with the French Belgian and Serbian armies in 1913 (two aircraft conducted reconnaissance during the Siege of Shkodër in the First Balkan War and one crashed), and with the British RFC and RNAS shortly after the outbreak of war.

Friedrich Ehmann

Robert A. Little, who was the leading Australian ace of the war, scoring the majority of his wins in a RNAS Sopwith Triplane, shot down one of Ehmann's squadronmates.

Fritz Kosmahl

On 2 February 1917, Kosmahl shot down a Sopwith Pup piloted by acting Flight Lieutenant W.E.Traynor of 8 squadron RNAS over Hermies.

Henry Botterell

On May 16, 1917, Botterell became a Probationary Flight Officer with the RNAS, where he was given the nickname "Nap" because of his supposed resemblance to Napoleon.

History of Australian naval aviation

During the mid-1920s, the RAN attempted to acquire government support for an Australian Fleet Air Arm, modelled loosely on the RNAS and its Royal Air Force-controlled successor, the Fleet Air Arm.

HM Prison Ford

Royal Naval Air Station Ford (RNAS Ford) was formerly a Fleet Air Arm station, and was converted to an open prison in 1960.

Humphrey de Verd Leigh

He entered the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) in 1915, serving in Mesopotamia (now Iraq) flying seaplanes for the relief of Kut, and went on to serve in the early Royal Air Force (RAF) 1918–19.

Imperial Gift

While 22,812 Canadian military personnel had served in the British air forces (RFC, RNAS and RAF), the Canadian air services did not operate as an independent military force until nearly the end of the war.

Jack W. Szostak

He developed the technique of in vitro evolution of RNA (also developed independently by Gerald Joyce) which enables the discovery of RNAs with desired functions through successive cycles of selection, amplification and mutation.

Maelstrom gene

Short RNAs are well-known to silence TEs (transposable elements) through the RNAi (RNA interference) pathway, and Piwi-associated RNAs (piRNAs) play a crucial role in transposon silencing in the germline.

Nurse cell

In fruit flies (Drosophila), nurse cells surround the developing oocyte and synthesize proteins and RNAs that are to be deposited in it.

Port Victoria Marine Experimental Aircraft Depot

As there was already a RNAS seaplane base on the Isle of Grain, the Depot was named Port Victoria, after the nearby railway station.

PRPF31

PRPF31 is recruited to introns following the attachment of U4 and U6 RNAs and the 15.5K protein NHP2L1.

Qrr RNA

It is believed that these RNAs, guided by a protein, Hfq, can mediate the destabilisation of the quorum-sensing master regulators LuxR/HapR/VanT mRNAs.

R43

Small nucleolar RNA R43, a plant non-coding RNA molecule which functions in the modification of other small nuclear RNAs

RAF Collyweston

Founded in 1917 as No. 5 Training Depot Station, the station was renamed RAF Collyweston following formation of the Royal Air Force, via merger of the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) and the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) on 1 April 1918.

Reginald Warneford

Following a celebratory lunch, Warneford travelled to the aerodrome at Buc in order to ferry an aircraft for delivery to the RNAS at Veurne.

RM Condor

The base has been home to 45 Commando, which is part of 3 Commando Brigade, since 1971, although it was first constructed as a Fleet Air Arm base in 1938, when it was known as RNAS Arbroath (HMS Condor).

RNAS Hatston

RNAS Hatston, also called HMS Sparrowhawk, was a Royal Naval Air Station, one mile to the north west of Kirkwall on the island of Mainland, Orkney, Scotland.

RNAs present in environmental samples

IMES-1 RNAs were also determined to be highly abundant near the shore in the Atlantic Ocean using different techniques.

Signal recognition particle RNA

The largest SRP RNAs known to date are found in the yeasts (Saccharomycetes) which acquired helices 9 to 12 as insertions into helix 5, as well as an extended helix 7.

Small Cajal body specific RNA 17

Small Cajal body-specific RNA 17 (also known as U12-22 scaRNA) is a type of small nuclear RNA which localises to the cajal bodies and proposed to guide the modification of RNA polymerase II transcribed spliceosomal RNAs U1, U2, U4, U5 and U12.

Small Cajal body specific RNA 18

small Cajal body-specific RNA 18 (also known as U91 or U4-8) is a type of small nuclear RNA which localises to the cajal bodies and proposed to guide the modification of RNA polymerase II transcribed spliceosomal RNAs U1, U2, U4, U5 and U12.

Transposon silencing

Piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA), the largest class of the small RNAs, are between 26 and 31 nucleotides in length and function through interactions with piwi proteins from the Argonaute protein family (gene silencing proteins).

Wilfrid Vernon

Educated in the Stationers' Company School and the City and Guilds Technical College in London, Vernon served in the RNVR during the First World War, before becoming a squadron major in the RNAS and was a major in the RAF in its early days.

Y RNA

Two functions have been described for Y RNAs in the literature: As a repressor of Ro60, and as an initiation factor for DNA replication.

Z12

Z12 small nucleolar RNA, a non-coding RNA molecule which functions in the modification of other small nuclear RNAs
