46 Reiss & Bradley Group of Companies

IDJ asks if anyone can supply information about the Reiss & Bradley Group of Companies.

IDJ says I came across the attached family tree, shown below,  in the Hong Kong Historical Aircraft Association (HKHAA) files recently. The tree shows that R&B was a founding element of Far East Aviation Ltd

HF: There also appears to be a direct connection to the Far East Flying Training School Ltd and Far East Motors Ltd. We have posted articles about all three companies which are linked below.

IDJ concludes: The only other clue I have found is in a Year-Book, an image of a Director of Reiss & Bradley, Far East Motors and Far East Flying Training School, a Mr P..P.F. Watkinson.

HF: Reiss, Bradley & company Ltd, according to an online site, was formed on 28th April 1923 and dissolved on 23rd December 1981.

If you can add anything about Reiss & Bradley, any of the associated companies or indeed Mr Watkinson please contact Hugh Farmer indhhk at gmail dot com.
