This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-class status:
constructed by George England (1922) Ltd, in whose name it was entered into the competition. George was Gordan's brother. I think that the company was actually named for his father George, not his brother.

There's a little on the company
here but nothing on which George. Only Gordon on the board. Best for now that I delete the second sentence. Cheers

Seems fairly sure, so I've added a Note. I wondered, incidentally, if there was any connection between the Victorian
George England and the later lot but couldn't get far back, though the earlier direct line died out rapidly. There are no George or Gordon Englands (apart from kings!) in the Oxford National Biography.
