Alan Bristow...

I remember meeting the "great man" back in the 70's alighting from the HS 125 in Sumburgh... A more tetchy, miserable git you could not meet.... BUT,
a great entrepeneur and innovator of indusrtry. I'm sure if you had his right side he would of come over differently....

Did he not turn down the sword on each shoulder???

Without Bristow, there would probably never be the aviation world so much of us enjoy today. RIP you old git..
