About SSCCS

SSCCS is The Sir Sydney Camm Commemorative Society



Aims of the Society:
To promote and commemorate the life and achievements of Sir Sydney Camm, Britain's foremost Aeronautical Engineer and Designer, whose long and lasting achievements ranged from 1930's combat biplanes, through the Hurricane and its successors of World War II, to his vision for the Harrier Jump Jet.

Objectives of the Society:
SSCCS exists to promote Sir Sydney Camms achievements as an Aeronautical Engineer and Designer and to encourage young people towards careers in Aeronautical Engineering.

Society Activities:
The Society will erect a full size replica of a Hawker Hurricane, Sydney Camm's most famous design; at a prominent site in Windsor.  This Memorial will be a token start to extending the work of the Society towards providing scholarships and bursaries for students pursuing a career in engineering.  Ideas on how these educational aspirations might be accomplished are already being developed.
