Cody Flyer Project Team

In order to build a replica of a 100 year old aircraft design it takes a unique set of skills, experience and craftsmanship from a committed band of volunteers to achieve the desired result.
Farnborough Air Sciences Trust (FAST) as an organisation is uniquely equipped with such skills from its membership and associates many of whom have spent most of their working lives in the aerospace industry.
With this in mind FAST are proud to recognise the contribution from our dedicated Cody Flyer project team which continues to grow almost daily. Without their support, dedication and enthusiasm this project would not have been possible.
