Sir James Arnot Hamilton ~ aircraft designer

.





On completing his school education in Midlothian James Hamilton attended the University of Edinburgh in wartime where he graduated in 1943 with a degree in civil engineering. Until the end of the war the young engineer took part in the development of anti-submarine weapons for the Royal Air Force.
James Hamilton’s aptitude in understanding the characteristics of diving and flight had been recognized in his appointment as Head of Flight Research when the Marine Aircraft Experimental Establishment returned to its prewar base at Felixstowe in 1945.
