Fairey News / Fairey Review

Fairey News was the newsletter of the Fairey Group, and had items from all the subsidiary companies.  Fairey Review was an earlier incarnation of the same thing, but much bigger and glossier.  We have only one copy of Fairey News, from 1972, and two copies of the Fairey Review, courtesy of Lawrence Scott, from December 1960 and June 1964.

The content covers the very varied and specialised work done by the Fairey Group: beer kegs from Fairey Stainless, power boats from Fairey Marine, air and ground survey work by Fairey Air Surveys for the Maidenhead bypass (first bit of the M4?), nuclear, military and radio telescope work from Fairey Engineering, and much more.

These files are very big, and may take a few minutes to display.

If you are using Firefox / Mozilla, the photographs may not display very well.  If you have a download option (top right of the screen, after the file has downloaded) select it and then open the file with Adobe Reader.

Marketing newsletters

These were the glossy newsletters sent out to customers, potential customers and survey organisations.  Lawrence Scott has contributed a full set of the Fairey Surveys newsletters from January 1969 to January 1980, and two of the Clyde Newsletters which followed on from the Faireys newsletters – and carried on the same numbering.

The photos don’t always come out very well online.  If you select the ‘Download’ icon from the top right hand corner of the picture, then click to open the file with Adobe Reader, the photos are much clearer.
