I am working from memories of thirty years or more ago on
this page. There will be mistakes and omissions but please help me rather
than complain.
See the contacts page for details of how to get in touch.
I especially need help from the airframe and engine guys.
If any of the Irish contingent are reading this - we would
love to hear from you.
Lastly - most of the names are those that I came into contact
with at the time the events in these pages took place. It is not an employee
register.
If you want to add names and incidents from later years
that is fine. The more people that contribute to this site the more interesting
it will be.
