Sir Christopher Wren's epitaph in St. Paul's Cathedral advises visitors, si monumentum requirs circumspice- if you would see his momentum, look around. Sadly visitors to Brooklands or Kingston-on-Thames seeking great Hawker Company's monument must look around diligently. Only a small corner of the original Canbury Park Road office block has survived the chain-and-ball attacks of the demolition gangs. For more seventy years the affairs of Hawker were inextricably linked with Kingston. The Company was regarded as a compassionate and caring employer and a community partner.

First published in 1996, this picture history of the Bristol Aeroplane Company, which had built some 15,750 aircraft of 85 different types by the time it became part of BAC in 1960, continues the story up to and including Concorde and A320 wing production.

<p>Great Britain's Aerospace Industry has an interesting and intriguing history with many famous names emerging from activities which began in the early years of the twentieth century. The businesses that now operate as the Hamble Group were very much part of this evolution, continuing on into the twenty-first century. This can be attributed to the involvement of a number of renowned aviation personalities; Henry Folland, Sydney Camm, Edward Petter, Peter Masefield and George Dowty. The ownership trail also introduces another string of famous names, including Folland Aircraft, Hawker Siddeley Aviation, British Aerospace and the Weir Group. This book recounts the history of Folland Aircraft and of the Hamble companies by revealing the evolution of the activities now carried on at this site and at Christchurch. Like many of their contemporaries, they have been through interesting and taxing times and, as in the case of Aerostructures Hamble, the narrow avoidance of failure. Although there have been several changes of ownership during the past decade, Hamble Group is now well positioned as part of Dowty, a member of the TI Group. The businesses are enjoying a resurgence as suppliers of specialised structural components and services for civil and military aircraft markets.</p>
