Gordon Burford (3 August 1919 – 12 March 2010) was an Australian model engine designer and manufacturer. He was Australia's premier model engine builder.〔(Gordon Burford's Biography by David Owen )〕 He produced thousands of engines of many different designs including the GeeBee, Sabre, GloChief and Taipan brands. Gordon was also a respected aeromodeler starting with Free Flight at a young age prior to World War II before pioneering in Control line after the war. After the war ended, importation into Australia of model engines was difficult and expensive due to Australia's remoteness to the rest of the world. Gordon saw an opportunity of manufacturing his own engines for the Australian market. His first engine, produced in 1946, was the Gee Bee, a 5cc diesel motor based on the (Sparey 5cc diesel ) design that had been recently published in England. What was to follow was a long pedigree of diesel and glow engines from 1cc up to 10cc displacement until Gordon retired in 1974 and handed the business to his son Peter. Gordon then directed his energy into the interest of Australian aeromodelers by taking on the position of Federal Secretary and Treasurer of the Model Aeronautical Association of Australia ((MAAA )). Gordon Burford died on 12 March 2010, following a fall at his home in Currumbin Queensland. == Engines Manufactured ==
