A brief history...

Bob McTavish was lying on his stomach, up on the headland at Lennie-the-Ox, watching Bluebirds with Swallow Tails flying around, turning sharply in the breeze...

And that was the birth of the Swallow Tail, and The Bluebird... The Swallow Tailed Bluebird still exists in many of their Logos today!

Bob told me that over a beer, on a luxury boat in The Maldives! That was a great trip!

True story,also in Bobs book,Simondo still kicking myself for not going on that trip you lucky bugger.

Hmm..I wonder.... the origins are back in the "cosmic" daze...it's often said that if you remember the 60's..you weren't really there.

Might apply to the 70's also...the swallow tail was originally a Tom Blake from the 50's

Looks like Lacey's Nano.
