History

[edit]

The company was formed as a partnership between Basil B. Henderson and H.A. Miles at 7 Park Lane, London, with Henderson being the chief designer.[1] Most of the aircraft were built by Parnall & Sons and in 1935 Parnall Aircraft Limited was formed when the two companies were merged along with Nash and Thompson Limited.[2]
