Delving into Dowty: photos, memories and archives

This website records the history of the Dowty Group. Here you can browse through our collection of historical material, which includes photos, old documents and the memories of employees – past and present. Find out more about us or get in touch.

Please note that we do NOT sell aircraft parts through this site. If your query is relating to a quotation for a part or repair work, please email customerservices@dowty.com

If you have Facebook and aren’t part of the Facebook group “Dowty Group of Companies” you can join by clicking this link. Here you can see various discussions about the company and subsidiary companies. We will be putting a lot of the photos from there onto this website too, if you don’t have Facebook.
