Beaumont
W.R.L. Beaumont (possibly W.R. Lestrange Beaumont,
born in India in 1894), a member of the Birmingham Aero Club, built a biplane glider in 1914. On 8 February, on taking it
out for its initial trials without any assistance, the machine was blown across the airfield, presumably the Club airfield
at Billesley Farm, and destroyed.
A power driven monoplane was reported as nearing completion and to be ready about
autumn that year but nothing more was heard.
