"My Father Was the Man"

"It was my father who founded the business in 1010," Sir Stanley said. "He was a far-seeing man who visualised the great future of aviation and established the firm in the very early days,

"I merely took over the management of the busi- ness from him when he died.

"The growth of the business is largely due to team-work, and to the fact that we make both air- planes and engines.

"The greatcat credit must, I im-i ngine, go to my father for his wise decisions so long ago."
