Sydney Augustus Lamplugh was my wife's great grandfather - he had two sons, Captain Alfred Gilmer Lamplugh was T. E. Lawrence's pilot in Mesopotamia and one of the world-wide founders of aviation insurance (British Aviation Insurance Group); Sydney Clifford, the other son, was killed near Ypres in the Great War (1917) whilst in the RFC (he was 19).
SA Lamplugh made lots of things, including a lot of leather goods (saddles for the Army, cycle saddles, luggage) racing car chassis for the Rothchilds etc. but until today, we didn't know that he'd strayed into the world of Radio, and was one of the shareholders of the British Broadcasting Company Ltd holding shares from 1923 until the founding of the current British Broadcasting Corporation under Reith.
It'd be great to get an example of his radio work (we have some of the other stuff...).
