George Holt Thomas was an aero inventor, addressed early on at 47 Victoria Street, Westminster, S.W. and the Director of the Aircraft Manufacturing Co..[1]

We have him later addressed at 27, Buckingham Gate, London, S.W. 1, still the Director of the Aircraft Manufacturing Co. and filing in collaboration with Geoffrey de Havilland and with Alfred Herbert Wilde.[2]

We have him still addressed at 27, Buckingham Gate, London, S.W. 1, still the Director of the Aircraft Manufacturing Co. and filing in collaboration with George Shakespeare Wilkinson.[3]

We have him still addressed at 27, Buckingham Gate, London, S.W. 1, still the Director of the Aircraft Manufacturing Co. and filing in collaboration with Harry Mason Kettelwell.[4]

We have him addressed at 27, Buckingham Gate, London, S.W. 1, still the Director of the Aircraft Manufacturing Co. and filing in collaboration with Stanley William Hiscocks.[5]

We have him filing in collaboration with Frank John Tippen, with Thomas as the “Managing Director of Airships, Limited”, and Hiscocks an Engineer, and both inventors addressed at 27, Buckingham Gate, London, S.W. 1, perhaps implying that this something of a corporate location.[6]

We have him filing in collaboration with Ernest Platton King, with Thomas as the Managing Director of Aircraft Manufacturing Company Limited, and King as an Engineer located at Edgware Road, The Hyde, London, N.W. 9. In this case, King is also “of the Aircraft Manufacturing Company Limited”, the Aircraft Manufacturing Co., implying perhaps a corporate growth.[7]

We have a conspicuous pattern here of Thomas playing at least partially corporate roles, collaboratively filing with other inventors, with said other inventors being designated as Engineers.
