• Notes

  There are a number of conflicting documents for his birth. There are several that have 16 Apr 1898, but 1899 is preferred as it matches the BMD records and is earlier than most of the others, and is strictly correct for the 1901 Census (31/3/1901). There is also 6th April in one record. The IMechE records state that he was at Kings School, Canterbury from 1913-1917 (after which he signed up to the RAF) and then working for his father from 1919-1924, and then at St Catherines Coll, Cambridge from 1924-1927. Possibly contrarily, he left Liverpool on 20/2/1919 for New York, on SS Lapland (no occupation given, age 19), and returns from Quebec on the SS Empress of Britain 1/9/1923 into Southampton, occupation "Manager" He became an Associate of the IMechE on 21/10/1927 and resigned on 23/10/1942 He was admitted to the Freedom of the City of London, supported by his father in 26/11/1920. This, and the RAF records identify that he was also a lance corporal in the Army (presumably before the RAF was officially formed?). The RFC records give his details as Surrey Regiment no 11265 (with a question mark), then 3rd Btn XXXXX (unreadable) (no 30457) where he was L/Cpl. It records he was "fit as pilot or observer" 18/7/1918 During all of this time he records his home address as "Purbrook", Clifford Rd - presumably where his parents were. He left £111677 in his will (1979)
