Information from Internet Encyclopedia
The Fairey Aviation Company
Limited was a British aircraft manufacturer of the first half of the 20th
century based in Hayes in Middlesex and Heaton Chapel and RAF Ringway in
Lancashire. Notable for the design of a number of important military aircraft,
including the Fairey III family, the Swordfish, Firefly, and Gannet, it had a
strong presence in the supply of naval aircraft, and also built bombers for the
RAF.
After World War II the company
diversified into mechanical engineering and boat-building. The aircraft
manufacturing arm was taken over by Westland Aircraft in 1960. Following a
series of mergers and takeovers, the principal successor businesses to the
company now trade as FBM Babcock Marine Ltd, Spectris plc, and WFEL (formerly
Williams Fairey Engineering Limited), the latter manufacturing portable
bridges.
