Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on February 26, 1906.

Bain's last major project was the Air Canada jet fleet base at Dorval, Quebec. As Director of Engineering and Maintenance, he was mandated to oversee the design, construction and installation phases, as well as the training phases of the base development. He recognized the potential of computer technology, and a data processing centre became the heart of the base operations. Here he initiated computer tracking of aircraft components, resulting in greatly enhanced preventive maintenance. At completion, this base was state-of-the-art and its comprehensive design was copied in facilities worldwide.

Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on March 3, 1847.

While experimenting with airplanes, Bell applied the dynamic principles of the air foil to power boats and invented the first hydrofoil craft. In 1914 he predicted, "I have no doubt that in the future, heavier-than-air machines of great size, and of different construction from anything yet conceived of, will be driven over the earth's surface at enormous velocity . . . hundreds of miles an hour, by new methods of propulsion."
