Jenna,

I stumbled across your website recently. Very interesting since my grandfather was C. H. Latimer-Needham. I never knew before why two of his airplanes and his company are named after Luton. At some point my grandfather started to write his memoirs and I still have a copy. It covers from WWI to about 1929 in detail. I suppose that he intended to write about later events but didn't. Unfortunately I have not found any reference to Barton-le-Clay. I should reread them...
