The earliest record of the textile
industry in the town of Bridport, on
the south coast of England, can be found on
the Pipe Roll* dating from 1211 preserved in
the Public Record Office in Kew, near to
London, which records that the people of the
town of Bridport was supplying ropes
and sail cloth for the Royal Navy of King
John. To put this into perspective, this was
the year Genghis Khan crossed the Great Wall
of China to challenge the Sung Dynasty and
four years before the Magna Carta was signed
at Runymede.
The
original company from which Bridport
Aviation descends was established in 1665, the
year before the Great Fire of London. This was
also the year after the British captured the
American town of New Amsterdam from the Dutch
and renamed it New York and the same year Sir
Isaac Newton had a famous encounter with a
falling apple and discovered Gravitation.
Continuously occupying the same site for
more than 300 years, by 1965 the company was
the largest net manufacturer in Europe,
supplying twine, ropes and nets for a
multitude of end uses worldwide.
Business in the Aviation industry began in
the mid 1960's and was consolidated into a
single Aviation and Defence Company in 1979.
Since then the company has grown to become a
world leader in the design, manufacture and
support of a wide range of textile products
for the Civil Aviation and Defence markets.
Currently operating as three global business
units with manufacturing sites in the UK, USA
and Sri Lanka, Bridport Aviation can
provide the best solution to your cargo
restraint requirement and with a full global
network of service centres can support the
product throughout its life cycle wherever
needed.
