ONLINE RESOURCES
     If you search for "James George Weir" +aviation, using the Google search engine, (9-11-08), you will find just three links. The first one is very informative, but the other two are a bit confusing for me.		  
 
Air Commodore J.G. Weir
     You may want to use the "FIND" function on "Weir" to follow this series of very helpful articles on him on The Aerodrome Forum website. Be careful to read all of the entries in order not to confuse the story of William Weir with that of his brother, James.

DEATH
MR. JAMES WEIR, who, with his brother, Mr. George Weir, founded the firm of Messrs. G. and J. Weir, died on July 10 at Over Courance, Dumfriesshire. Mr. George Weir retired from the business many years ago, but Mr. James continued to take an active part until about 10 years ago, when he purchased the estate of Over Courance, which he farmed with success. Since his retirement, the business has been managed by the directors, including his eldest son, Lord Weir, the late Air Minister, his second son, Brig.-Gnl. J. S. Weir, C.M.G., who did valuable service in the Air Force during the war, and his son-in-law, Mr. J. R. Richmond, C.B.E.
