SSCCS exists to promote Sir Sydney Camm's Achievements

Sir Sydney Camm CBE FRAes, was one of the UK's foremost Aircraft Designers, who during his lifetime designed aircraft from pre-war combat biplanes, World War II fighters including the Hurricane, post war jet fighters; on to his vision for the successful Harrier.

The aim of the Sir Sydney Camm Appeal has been to raise a capital base to fund a Scholarship in Sir Sydney's name; awarded anually to help aspiring young Aeronautical Engineers make a start on their career.  This Appeal has now been entitled 'The Coachmaker Sir Sydney Camm Award' and is administered by The Worshipful Company of Coachmakers and will provide encouragement and support, inspiring young people towards exciting and worthwhile careers.
 
SSCCS has also helped facilitate the installation of a full size replica Hurricane in Alexandra Gardens, Windsor as a permanent Memorial in his home town.
 
The Windsor Hurricane


The long awaited full-size replica of a Battle of Britain fighter aircraft is to be erected in Windsor near the town's popular Alexandra Gardens.

 
Designed by Windsorian Sir Sydney Camm, the Hawker Hurricane will be unveiled on the Thames promenade at the end of Barry Avenue in Spring 2012.
 
The £39,000 cost of the Memorial, which has been in planning since 2006 is being funded by developer contributions through the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead.  The council is in full support of the project as a fascinating, historical attraction for residents and visitors alike.
