Snippets: An Aviator & an Architect:
Initially ordered by J. J. Jones of 88 St. James's Street. London.

Stobo Castle had been purchased by Hylton Murray-Philipson Snr in 1905 & in 1924 he conveyed the estate to his son who was a pioneer aviator having learnt to fly in 1927. He owned his own air-craft & in 1930 whilst enroute to LeBourget. France he crashed his de Havilland DH80 Puss Moth on the Goodwin Sands in Kent. ! Hylton's career consisted of being the C.
