TIME BEGAN FOR BREMONT ON THE SAME DAY IT STOPPED.
ONE CLEAR DAY IN MARCH 1995, TWO PRECOCIOUS brothers, Giles and Nick English, were practicing for an air display with their father, Euan. But while practicing formation aerobatics, the 1942 WWII Harvard aircraft that Nick and his father were flying crashed, and Euan died on impact. Giles, waiting to take off for the next sortie, was told that his father had been killed and that his brother had broken more than 30 bones and probably wouldn’t make it.
Six months later, when Nick was back in the air being flown by Giles, things had irrevocably changed. The brothers realized that life was too short to waste and decided to pursue what they enjoyed most: a life crafting beautifully engineered mechanical devices.
