        History

        The Australian Aircraft and Engineering Company Limited was established by aviators Nigel Love, W J Warneford and aircraft designer Harry Broadsmith. Nigel Love was Managing Director. In June 1919, Nigel Love leased the land that became Mascot airfield to establish the manufacture and operation of Avro 504K aircraft. Partly due to failure to gain assistance from the Commonwealth Government, the company was forced into liquidation in 1923.
