Dennisimo! Thanks for that info. Was sure that Mann had
some involvement with racing but wasn't sure exactly what. I've since read that he may have had some involvement with Lotus so, it is conceiveable that Alan Mann knew Colin Chapman and that Colin knew Ken Gregory.
I also discovered that Alan Mann's racing workshop built the vehicle for the 1967 film 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'!
Perhaps the only rotarywing craft ever built by Alan Mann!
STILL WANTED
I am still on the hunt for the following:
Pictures, stories and info of
G-AWOM the Bell 206 owned by
Hambros Bank and its illustrious pilot the splendid
John Dicken.
Pictures, stories and info of the late great
Cy Rose.
Picture, stories and info of
Gay Absolom.
Pictures, stories and info on
Alan Mann's early days in aviation.
All of this information is wanted for a website I am sponsoring which shall chart some of the UK's helicopter operations in the 70's.
With thanks
S.
