History

The company was formed in 1928 at Burton-on-Trent by Harold Boultbee, a former Handley Page aircraft designer, who became the managing director and chief designer.[1] The company established a factory on the southern perimeter of the Hull Municipal Airport, at Hedon.[1] The company only produced one aircraft type, the Civilian Coupé a two-seat light monoplane.[1] After producing six aircraft the company became bankrupt and the factory at Hedon closed in 1933.[1]
