Democritus,
David Dixon left Trent employment shortly before they went into receivership and joined up with David George who had just formed Sloane Helicopters ( and still owns the company ) to market and sell the new Robinson R.22. They initially used a portacabin at Cranfield and purly sold and trained the new owners. It was several years later, when Dick Sanford left Helitech at Luton Airport and joined Sloane that the hangers were built at Sywell and all operations were transferred.
