Marketing newsletters

These were the glossy newsletters sent out to customers, potential customers and survey organisations.  Lawrence Scott has contributed a full set of the Fairey Surveys newsletters from January 1969 to January 1980, and two of the Clyde Newsletters which followed on from the Faireys newsletters – and carried on the same numbering.

The photos don’t always come out very well online.  If you select the ‘Download’ icon from the top right hand corner of the picture, then click to open the file with Adobe Reader, the photos are much clearer.

Internal FSL newsletters

These were the typed documents circulated just to the staff, with information on where the operations people were, what the departments were doing, and joiners and leavers.  If anyone has kept any other editions, please let us borrow them to scan and include here …

FSL Company News 248 7Sep72

Edition 256 was very faint, and in parts very difficult to read when scanned, so it has been retyped and included as a Word document, below.  The original scanned paper copy is also attached as a PDF document, in case any errors have been introduced in the retyped copy.
