Sir George Dowty 'In His Own Words'

A surprising outcome of the Dowty project was the approach, via the Dowty Heritage Website, by Sir George Dowty’s son, who had a typescript copy of his father’s autobiography that had never been published. As a result of this approach, the autobiography was published by Hobnob Press towards the end of 2020, and was edited by the project archivist Ally (in a volunteer capacity).

Books are now available for sale. Please email ally.mcconnell@gloucestershire.gov.uk for more information.

The website records the history of the Dowty Group. You can browse through the collection of historical material, which includes photos, old documents and the memories of employees – past and present.

EDITOR'S NOTE:  we don't normally promote publications, but since this one is directly related to our For the Record project and the cataloguing of the huge Dowty archive, now coming to a conclusion, we have made an exception in this case.
