    Part of SAFRAN company located in Gloucester UK formerly known as Dowty, Dowty Rotol and Previously Gloster AirCraft Company. ( GAC ) and others ... about ten of my now long departed older relatives worked for Dowty/GAC/Rotol making Under carriages, (Now landing gear ) Propellers and Jet Turbine Fuel systems. Some built Hawker Hurricanes during WW2, In the early 1950s some of my then retired relatives lived in a house on the actual GAC aerodrome at Brockworth in Gloucestershire. Visits there for myself and little brother were a special treat. Even meant passing through the Security Gates. A new experience. That house now long gone next to the Assembly hangers where Gloster Meteors and Javelins were made..Two little boys explored the Aerodrome. A corrugated sheet metal Barn in a remote far corner of the AirField we explored through one of the dislodged metal panels enabled two small boys to access inside. There before us a pristine Gloster Gladiator Biplane. A subsequent visit saw that Gladiator Biplane working an aerobatic routine directly over our heads for fully ten minutes before making off to an AirShow, Our very own special AirShow.
    I was reminded of all this recently when driving through what was the former GAC Aerodrome now with a huge Ibndustriak Unit complex and also some high density modern housing. Many streets and roads named with an AirCraft link like "Hurricane Way" . That day, I passed the new DOWTY Factory and parked nearby was an articukated truck ( a semi ) with huge propellers on the trailer. Looked like those from C130 / Hercules. No doubt being delivered to Dowty for refurbishment. The truck had Italian registration plates. I stopped and took a few images of a now rare sight so familiar to me as a very small boy back in the day..
    Gloucestershire UK has a very long Aviation history. Going back eighty-five years in the case of SAFRAN's roots. Good that some still remains in the area.
    Always interested in AirCraft, particularly WW2 WarBirds. Few years ago, heard the unmistakable sound of a Rolls Royce Merlin approaching fast .. soon over head in a far corner of the county, with small population. Looking up, I saw a plane go through a complicated aerobatic routine directly overhead. Surprisingly, it was not the expected Spitfire or Hurricane which are not a rare sight or sound, but something else. It came low, about a thousand feet and then I could see what it was. A North American P51 Mustang. Again my own private AirShow. I was not the only one to watch that show. Sometime later, on a FaceBook group, someone else has seen that little AirShow in a remote part of the county. Probably remote for safety reasons. Wisely.
    Never tire of aircraft observation. . Been some B52 activity in the county recently. Wonder what they are up to...

    I never thought about landing gear in this manner, that it requires a separate company to take care of them and to make them in the first place. But it is logical when you think about the forces during take off and landing

And the Kodiak aircrafts. Even more lately with the acquisition of the former Triumph plant in Stuart. A lot of 3PL activities for all major OEMs. And yes i'm an an engineer who proudly proudly works for Daher :)
