DP Davies: I think there is both a Neath in South Wales aka UK, as well as a Neath in NSW aka Dunnunda & Godzone. I suspect the UK one. Not wishing to hijack the topic, so v. briefly: David Davies was born in 1920 at Neath in South Wales. Joined the Royal Navy in 1940, later commissioned in the Fleet Air Arm. Joined the Air Registration Board in August, 1949, as Chief Test Pilot and carried out the certification testing of the world's first jet transport aircraft in 1950. He has since been responsible for the certification flight trials of most British civil prototypes and a number of the larger validated aeroplanes (incl Concorde).
