Eric Cecil Gordon England
E. C. Gordon England was one of the designers for Bristol before 1912. He had just completed designing and constructing two "waterplanes" for pilot James Radley under the designation Radley-England (which see as Radley 2).
Land aeroplane, 1913. SD lists something called the Radley-England Shoreham under date of 1913, and that may refer to the land aerplane designed and built by England in 1913. In the only reference we found in FM, it was called Gordon England's land machine and no association was made with Radley.
Following this, in the autumn of 1913 and spring of 1914, England was in the news as testing a new machine designed by Cedric Lee, which see, as well as a new seaplane built by Wight Aircraft, which see. In 1915, he became head of the aviation department of the new Frederick Sage and Co. Ltd.
Location: Shed at Shoreham Aerodrome, England
Born in Argentina, 5 April 1891, died in Bracknell, Berkshire, England, March 1976.[1][2]
