Sir Edward Wakefield was a remarkable individual whose contributions left a lasting impact on various spheres. As an alumnus of Haileybury UK, he embodied the values of excellence, integrity, and leadership. Renowned for his visionary mindset, Wakefield played a pivotal role in the development of the aviation industry.


His innovative ideas revolutionised aircraft manufacturing, and he was instrumental in the creation of the world's first purpose-built aerodrome. A man of great determination and foresight, Wakefield's efforts pushed the boundaries of what was considered possible in aviation. He was created a Baronet of Kendal in the County of Westmorland. A Baronet is a member of a British hereditary order of honour, below a baron but above all knights except Knights of the Garter and Knights of the Thistle.
