Aerodata was originally the brainchild of Bernie Parsons and was formed in the early nineties. His original vision was mainly to cover all the military aircraft but evolved to cover commercial and business aviation.
Bernie, together with Val, his wife, ran the business from their house near Mildenhall in Suffolk (UK). The database is written in DOS was the foremost aviation database during the 1990s.
Recognising that the database was becoming too large for Bernie & Val to run, Paul Turnbull became involved more and more.
Subsequent milestones in the companies history:
2001 - Perhaps the most important year in the evolvement in Aerodata. Recognising the need to move the data to a Microsoft Windows environment, an existing database was acquired, together with most of their updaters, that was to provide the basics of what was to follow. Although originally flawed and somewhat erratic, Paul Turnbull has since embarked on a complete re-write to become again the foremost and largest aviation database.
2002 - The launch of our own domain Aerodata.biz. This also enabled us to take ownership and control of our existing support email groups that had previously with egroups.
2002 - Aerodata and Air-Britain agreed further co-operation with a number of Air-Britain's expert contributors joining the Aerodata database updating team helping to add many extra airframes and check existing data.
2003 - Launch of QuantumLite, a cut down version of the highly successful QuantumPlus Aviation database.
2005 - Launch of Quantum Maps.
2005 - Launch of QuickLookUp, originally intended to be a way of querying Mode 'S' codes directly from Quantum+ without opening the actual database and has evolved in to a display that 'plugs' in to Kinetic's SBS-1 Mode 'S' Decoder and places a small display on the BaseStation software.
2006 - The release of our freeware Aerodata BaseStation.sqb file designed to replace the existing file with a new one that will display the registration and type information for over 78,000 different HexCodes. Designed to be used in conjunction with the Kinetic SBS-1.
2007 - Newly launched, our new version of Quantum database. This is fully compatible will all Microsoft Windows versions from Win98 to the latest Windows Vista which was launched in January 2007.
