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.
