Dowty fans keep Minis cool in South Florida traffic.  I have one on every car.

Cracking link Brian !

As a child I used to do judo at Dowty's in Churchdown/Staverton and this was an entertaining half hour trawling through the archive.
Edit: https://www.dowtyheritage.org.uk/content/category/dowty-group/ultra-electronics I worked for Ultra in 1998 building aircraft dimmer switches using Dowty marked drawings.

Some interesting history of the Dowty Group, if you're interested in that sort of thing. https://www.dowtyheritage.org.uk/content/dowty-group/dowty-hydraulics/dowty-hydraulic-units-publications

Dowty fan - I've got one fitted to the Hornetto and have been using them since the mid 90s.

Might have a NOS one tucked away somewhere.

What was the name of the fan that had spring loaded arms and when you reved it, it flattened out.  Thanks I think they were four blades to the fan. Was it a downty fan?? If anyone has one for sale I’d love to put it on my car again.
