Alfred George worked for the Bristol Aviation Company helping to build Bristol fighters prior to joining the army in the First World War .
He worked alongside Douglas Pobjoy who designed radial engines for aeroplanes .
He was post w.w 1 offered a job by Pobjoy to set up a factory to produce an engine from scratch to testing facility to gain a possible order from I presume the government of the day .
By 1931 he and his team worked on the R.A.F Supermarine 'S' Type where it was stripped , re designed where required where the engine went on to win the Schneider Trophy . He then went onto work within the design dept . that produced the various models of the Spitfire .
Alfred was born 10 August 1894 and died in 1970 . Does anyone have any other information on his working life or photographs of his designs etc...
Regards..
