Hello everyone!
My name is Alexandria and I am an amateur screenwriter living in Portland, OR, USA.
I've recently began doing the research for a Cohen Brothers-esque film about the man who designed and invented the Avrocar; John Carver Meadows Frost.
I'm able to find enough information about the actual aircraft but very little information about John the man and who he was.
I'm hoping to reach out to you folks to see if anyone has any kind of connections to him or know of anyone who does? I would be eternally grateful to connect with anyone who had known him whether that be co-workers, family, friends, neighbors. Anyone!
I appreciate any help with this whatsoever anyone can give me! I'm still going to write the script but I would really like to represent the man as honestly as I can.
Thank you so much!

Have a look at Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Carver_Meadows_FrostHe thought the Waitomo PL11 Airtruck was such a good aircraft, he helped form a company to put the aircraft into production but New Zealand wasn't ready for a two tonne capacity topdressing aircraft. He did the certification work for the Fletcher FU-24 to transition into the FU-24-950 and 950M, 400HP version with one ton capacity topdressing aircraft. He also designed and built the Murrayair MA-1 and was involved in the early turbine versions of the Fletcher aircraft. Aviation in New Zealand is in a better place because of John Frost |
