All

Does anyone have contact with any of the engineers who worked on the Vimy replica that flew across to the UK? I have tried through their website contact, but no response.

TIA
Dave

Dave, are you asking about the builders in the US, or the engineers who maintained it whilst it was flying in the UK?

Builders-particularly those involved with the various engines they trialled

Good luck with getting 'on the record' quotes with that.

Some engine companies (no names, no pack drill) need to review their publicity attitude - and more.
