Memorial Books

As well as updating entries in Church Memorial Books, back in 2007/8 I was involved with a fantastic project which commemorated the first 100 years of the brave Test Pilots who lost their lives during test flying aircraft in the UK. The work was in collaboration with fellow calligrapher Sally Mae Joseph. We designed the book from original research supplied by the late John Maynard, in conjunction with the then editor of Aeroplane magazine, Michael Oakey. The Test Flying Memorial Roll of Honour is permanently on display at Farnborough Air Sciences Trust Museum.

Projects such as the above are complex, but very satisfying to work on. I have some very skilled contacts and am able to assemble a team who can complete any book project you may have in mind so please go to the Contact page to discuss your plans or phone on 01873 840610.
