The first two brochures are from Derek Minter’s files.  The Fairey Surveys brochure must be dated between 1977 and 1980, with Lawrence Scott as Managing Director after W. P. Smith moved to the Ordnance Survey.  The Clyde brochure has a date of March 1980, after the takeover of Fairey Surveys by Clyde.

The next brochure is a Profile of Fairey Surveys Limited, dated 1979.  It is a substantial document, with details of all the services offered by FSL, and sample map sheets.  This comes from Lawrence Scott’s files.  It’s a big document, so it may take a few minutes to open – view with Adobe Reader if you are given the option.
