 The Fresson Trust
is an aviation charity set up in 1991 with the objective of furthering the
knowledge of aviation past, present and future, for the benefit of people living
in, or visiting the Highlands and Island of Scotland, by all possible means, and
in memory of Captain Ernest Edmund Fresson, OBE (1891-1963).
It also offers a modicum of financial assistance to people
aspiring to careers in aviation, particularly prospective pilots, engineers and
air traffic controllers.
The Trust also organises events to commemorate various anniversaries of
Captain Fresson and his airline, so as to keep his achievements in front of the
public and to encourage others to follow in his footsteps. It is also actively
collecting the logbooks and memorabilia of aircrew that have flown in the
Highlands and Islands. This website has been set up to
publicise the Trust's work.
