    Bremont is a self styled British brand and leans heavily on this fact, so why does the British owner Nick English of Bremont say the name in a Swiss/French accent, reminds me Steve Mclaren adding a Dutch tone to his interviews..

    On the watch, its very nice but with all the talk of high end engineering and fine tolerances they then show the crown guards totally misaligned - 5.45sec of the video..

    Maybe because Bremont was the name of the French farmer who owned the land that the brothers ditched their vintage plane on; to whom the brand is named after?

    'a bit Biggles'

    I find it all a bit more bile-inducing...

    Certainly looks interesting.

    Pipistrel make one that is very cool and already type certified for sale in the UK.

    It seems to me that these will become a no brainier for all training schools and small “taxi” type use.

    The fuel and maintenance savings alone will add up to a massive amount over the life of the aircraft.

    I can’t wait to have a go in one.

    This, it's a totally made up new brand and they're trying to invent a heritage.

    Edit: The plane looks really good though, I wish RR all the best in their project.
