Sure I read something about the Nottingham Aircraft Manufacturing Co Limited the other day – sure it ended up with Gloster or De Havilland?

Still existed as NAMCo in 1921 http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/32262/pages/2233/page.pdf

Nothing to do with Namco but still hilarous
“Aerial Advertising Co v Batchelors Pease Ltd [1938]
The cl contracted with D to advertise their products by flying over towns with a banner attached stating ‘Eat Batchelors Peas’. The pilot was to telephone D each day to approve for his plans. He failed to do this on November 11 1937 and flew over a town square during the 2 minutes silence on Armistice Day. This annoyed the residents of the town and resulted in a boycott of Batchelors products. D sought damages and a declaration of release of contract. It was held that due to the seriousness of the breach, D would succeed.” http://www.studentlaw.org.uk/contract.aspx

…and their move is recorded here http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1918/1918%20-%200220.html

Going to go out on a limb here because it seems logical to me and say the company moved to London!

To summerise and straighten the above out:

Nottingham Aircraft Manufacturing Co Limited

The company was run by William Henry Pease

During February 1917 the company moved from 32 King Street, Nottingham to Castle Meadow Road.
On September 6th 1917 the company advertised in ‘Flight’ magazine for shares in new ‘Buffer Spring technology’ and was trying to raise £5,000 by selling shares at £1 each. This patent was claimed and for a ‘spring buffer for landing gear of aircraft’ Patent No 113874.

Pease also owned the Nottingham Flying and Correspondence Schools Ltd from 44 Parliament Street, Nottingham and with this company was trying to raise capital of £20,000 in £1 shares for a sparking plug invention in partnership with F Parvin as well as carrying on the flying school. The money was raised and the spark plug design was patented on 1st March 1918 as patent 112256 for a light weight spark plug for a high speed engine. The address given in this patent was Brook House, Blythe Street, Mapperley. This company was truck off the Joint Stock Companies Register in June 1920
