[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Hi Mark I have never been to the Fairford event, however the company will
have a stand at next year`s Farnborough Air Show. If you are interested in
aerospace, and would like a ticket let me know, its held around mid July. My
passion along with photography is steam engines, and in particular any thing
to do with the old Great Western Railway, I have spent some happy hours at
the museum in Swindon ! I am lucky living on the south side of Birmingham
its not far from the Severn Valley Railway so I can get a regular fix ! One
of our major customers is Martin Baker Aircraft the ejector seat maker, and
I am very proud of the products I supply which have saved the lives of
pilots from all round the world, sorry to ramble on but if you are ever
coming Birmingham way, and have the time lets meet up and chat Leica !
Regards Phil

Hi Phil,
what an interesting line of work.
As I'm 'resting' at the moment, I'll pass on the spitfire...I think it's
fantastic that such an old design is still popular.? Another cherished
memory concerning the Spitfire was a bike ride out to Fairford on the eve of
the international air tattoo a few years ago.? We witnessed a mock dogfight
over the airfield between a BBMF spitfire and hurricane. It was wonderful to
watch and to listen to.
Cheers
Mark
