Scottish Aviation
Scottish Aviation was a British aircraft manufacturer,
based at Prestwick in Scotland. It built robust military STOL utility
aircraft such as the Pioneer and larger Twin Pioneer. Much later the
company built some Jetstream turboprop transport and navigational training
aircraft following the collapse of the Handley Page Aircraft Company
(which designed the type). It built Bulldog trainers after the demise of
their original manufacturer, Beagle Aircraft Company, which Scottish
Aviation absorbed in 1970. The company merged into British Aerospace in
1977.
