Bremont owned French Airforce Broussard

Last night members of the ATG Forum met up with Nick English from Bremont Watches for a beer, a chat about their EP120 and a quick trip over the Berkshire & Oxfordshire Countryside, looking at some big houses in Bremonts own Broussard vintage aircraft.

Brief history of White Waltham Airfield
In 1928, the de Havilland family aquired the land and formed the de Havilland School of Flying which opened in 1935. The MOD requisitioned it for use during World War II and in 1940 it became the HQ for the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) whose members were responsible for the delivery of all aircraft to and from RAF stations. During the war years the ATA achieved a remarkable 309,000 aircraft movements enabling the RAF to concentrate exclusively on operations.

White Waltham has also been home to Fairey Aviation, manufacturers of aircraft such as the Gannet and Rotodyne. It has been a civilian airfield and the home of the West London Aero Club since the early post-war years.

So arrived at 7.10pm, time for a quick pint of Bitter (that’s proper beer) and a chance to have a proper look at the Bremont EP120. I saw it in the flesh at their Charity Auction a couple of weeks ago but it was dark, there was alot of camera flashes going off least of all from the Paperazzi trying to get a shot of Orlando Bloom who was there also……

Well in day light it looks really very good indeed, Nick streesed that this is still a prototype, the rubber Spitfire tyre tread on the crowns is worn and will eventually be knurled from steel. The barrel of the case will be lighter than the DLC top coating but largely it will look like it does here…. fantastic.
