Today, February the 8th 2001, exactly 10 years ago, MGL Avionics was incorporated.

MGL was founded about two years after I built my first small EFIS for a microlight trike I was flying at the time. The first avionics developed long before that was an airborne mono-pulse low frequency radar system desiged to measure the thickness of the Antarctic ice sheet which in places is some 4 Km. This was in 1984.
Several smaller projects followed, including involvement in a certified helicopter flight recording and monitoring system.

MGL was jointly founded by myself and my Wife and named using the first letters of our three Cats at the time - Mish, Gypsey and Lucy - hence: MGL.

We would like to thank our customers, enthusiastic supporters and of course the many people that are directly or indirectly involved for making all of this possible - without you this would have never happened. Thanks guys...

We are looking forward to serving you for many years more...

Rainier & the team at and around MGL Avionics

Sadly, they are no more. Mish made it to a proud 21, Lucy lost out to an infection despite the Vets best efforts and Gypsey, true to her name, disappeared a few months ago at an advanced age.
We still have three cats, Rusty (AKA "Rust bucket" or "Bakkie" for short) our BIG male ginger that thinks he is a lion, Pip (as in "Pip Squeek") and the latest new arrival - "Sammy" (but now called "Hoolie" as in "hooligan").
