We're only 190 people so we can't do much
Well, it started by pure chance in 1991. We were introduced to three guys, ex-aviation engineers, who had a very simple green field, blue sky, and the Sukhoi flying around. [. . .] I said to the guy who introduced it to me - Igor Tishin - I said 'we should make a company out of this', and I invested in the development of the initial team from '91 til '95 and then we released it via Mindscape in the UK. The guy there, called Jim Mackonochie - he's died since - was absolutely passionate about aviation but he couldn't fly because he had a problem with his eyes. But his dad was a hawker test pilot - Hawker as in [one of these aircraft behind me] - and even flew one of [The Fighter Collection] aircraft - a Sea Fury that flew in Korea on Ocean - he was the manufacturing test pilot and so there was a very close bond between Mindscape and Eagle Dynamics. In the beginning, it was The Fighter Collection who financed everything, but we had this internal name 'Eagle Dynamics'.
