Manufacturer's Archives

I have some photos from Bae, and perhaps English Electric.

What’s left of the archives of Fokker (and other Dutch manufacturers like Koolhoven) are now part of the Aviodrome collection. Most of it is obvioulsy from after WW2 but there is also a lot from before the war.

I’m afraid a lot of the original drawings, publicity material etc was lost during the great mergers of the early 1960s. Now and then, enterprising employees rescued stuff from skips and dumps but much has gone forever.
