A devastating fire fully destroys the Dowty operating headquarters and blade manufacturing facility. Within nine months, Dowty Propellers re-created the complete blade manufacturing capability for its propeller systems. Operating from an interim facility, Dowty continued supporting its customers and keeping their aircraft in the air. The recovery from the fire earned Dowty an ‘Award to Industry’ from the Worshipful Company of Coachmakers & Coach Harness Makers of London.
