AIRCO Logo

I've possibly asked this before but can't find any results - does anyone have a copy of the logo for Airco (Aircraft Manufacturing Company) based at Hendon? From what i've seen it's simply 'AIRCO' or 'AIR-CO' in a lozenge

Hi LT,

It is on page 44 of the Suadron Signal DH2 book if any of the guys can scan ----afraid I can't.

It is a circle within which is a full diameter 'A' with wings sprouting from upper part of 'A' extending well out of the circle.

The bottom bit of the circle has a matching banner circle with 'Aircraft Co. Ltd. London. Within the main circle, either side of the 'A' it reads (left to right) Co.----Ltd.--near as I can tell----the transfer photo. is VERY faded.

Gold and black lettering (it says) with central 'A' and outer circle in copper.

A case where a picture is definately worth a thousand words---sorry.

Dave.

There is a b/w photo in C&C (GB) Vol9 p32

If I can work out how to post an image I will do this again.

On second thoughts, as your not far from me email me through web page and i'll send it to you that way.

Hi LT,

I enclose a copy of the Airco decal, which in this instance was applied on a wing strut. I have not recorded it on any Airco made prop. I think they had a different one as the company logo? You mention a lozenge.

With kind regards,

Bob

And that confirms my long-winded description was spot on
