	The Pioneers : An Anthology : Harry George Hawker (1889 - 1921)
		Hawker believed that in England he would soon learn to fly and the young man of scarcely 22 years of age left his native shores hoping of success in the new sphere and perhaps at the same time wondering if he was doing the right thing.
		Hawker was met by friends soon after the `Maloja' had berthed and was taken to the St Kilda Town Hall, where he was greeted by the Mayor of St Kilda and citizens and councillors from St Kilda, Brighton and Moorabbin.
		Hawker was forced to land only a few miles short of the finish line and for his efforts was awarded a 'special prize' of 1000 pounds by the newspaper.

	Sopwith Aviation Company
		The Sopwith Aviation Company was a British aircraft company that designed and manufactured aeroplanes mainly for the British Royal Flying Corps, Royal Naval Air Service and later Royal Air Force in the First World War, most famously the Sopwith Camel.
		The company was founded in Kingston-upon-Thames by Thomas Octave Murdoch (Tommy, later Sir Thomas) Sopwith, a well-to-do gentleman sportsman interested in aviation, yachting and motor-racing, in June of 1912.
		The Sopwith company was wound up in 1920 after failing to achieve sufficient success with civilian products (which had prompted the purchase of ABC Motors in 1919) to compensate for the drop in military aircraft orders after the end of the War and a potential large demand from the government for Excess War Profits Duty.

		Moreover, there is a downsizing of their architectural ambition in the later 1930s, perhaps as younger assistants took on more responsibilities.
		Probably the concession was a reward for the building’s important local role as the tower from which wardens watched out for fires caused by enemy action, and the company’s role as a manufacturer of equipment used by the armed forces.
		The office block (not particularly large) is on the edge of a truly extensive block of land left empty on closure of the power transformer factory.

		In 1906, at 18, while auto-racing at Brookland --- which at that time was also being used as an airfield --- he became greatly interested in flying, and soon bought his first aeroplane --- a 40 h.p.

		In the late 50s there was much research going on to build vertical-take-off jet aircraft and many companies in Europe and the US started projects that resulted in prototypes which flew in the 1960s.
		Working under the control of Sir Sydney Camm, who had designed the Hurricane fighter of World war Two, Hooper's team designed the P1127 prototype which in turn led to the Kestral series which was used to evaluate the new technology in a combat role.
		The RAF was not very pleased to have this political animal foisted upon them, but then came the Arab-Israeli War of 1967 when the Arab Airforces were destroyed on their airfields within the first hours of combat.
