This year marks 100 years since our factory was built and 25 years since it was closed. To mark these events, and 75 years of remarkable achievements, the Kingston Aviation Project and the Hawker Association are mounting an exhibition at the YMCA Hawker Centre next to the factory site on the 9th and 10th of September.
Volunteers are needed to man the Hawker Association area where ex-employees will be greeted, and perhaps invited to join, and any items brought along examined and logged. Please contact Chris Farara on 01483 825955 or or speak to any of the committee at an Association meeting
