Massive shame about the engineering section. Maintenance ran there from 1973 onwards with some talented and great people. Good luck all of you.

I totally agree with the Lear doc and above the clouds

NEA was one of the the best Enigeering faciltes in the UK

It was run by dedicated professional people who would turn out Dayor Night to solve Promblems and luck would have it most saw the light and have re allocated
However I am really sorry for the people who hung on and are now out of work

Whilst I was at NEA. I could. Walkin the. hangar latest night and if there were any problems the same dedicated engineers. We're working Away. To solve the
problem. Especially when we were on Target Towing missions

I wish everybody good luck in the future. And have to say that this is the end of an. Era


Let me know when the renuion at the Romper will. Be


Love to all


Gerry




NB. Lear Doc

Hope u and K are OK. Give my regards to PL and his family


Hope to come to. Dubai again in December hope we can meet in the Irish village for a. beer. Or 10

Company's didn't like paying their bills on time.

Where are we getting 1973 from? I thought RSS was a new company as was Ocean Sky

Exec jet ops at Manch are intrinsically bound up with some very big figures in the history of that place.

G-LEAR the original a/c, David Antrobus, Gerry and countless others contributed to a continuous story that ran seamlessly through from Hangar 522 to the NEA Apron next the the Engine Test Bay to today.

It was fantastic and the people involved legendary.

I was only talking to someone today describing the spirit of MAN in all its guises and Gerry knows full well the collective... I dunno.. feeling that everyone who worked must have felt at some time.

So 1964, 1968, 1973, 1985 are all dates which matter.

Sorry, I sem to have something caught in my eye.

RSS and Ocean Sky share very much the same DNA. RSS are the initials of Jnr's Dad, who's deep(ish) pockets funded both ventures.

It's a real shame that it's ended this way, NEA was always a great company, and the team of people in engineering always made me feel welcome when I had to share their desk space.
