OK, Dover Aero Club. The group was set up in late November 1911 and at that point it appears that they were responsible for the creation of the Aerodrome.
From Flight 30th Nov 1911:
Dover Aero Club (11, MARINE PARADE).
SINCE the inception of this club, not so many months
ago great headway has been made in establishing it as one of
the most powerful aeronautical clubs in the country, it including
many men of considerable standing in the affairs of Great
Britain, the membership at the present time totalling to 80.
Amongst those who were instrumental in founding the club were
Capt. W. P. Marley, Commander S. E. Forster, Capt. H. O. H.
Moore, R.E., Capt. W. J. Todd, Capt. H. M. Ingle, and Mr. P.
Harrington Edwards. The president of the club is the Marquis
Camden, whilst the vice-presidents include Lord Kitchener, Vice-
Admiral Sir John R. Jellicoe, and the Right Hon. Sir George
Wyndham, M.P.
Excellent club flying grounds have been established on Whitfield Hill,
about three miles out of Dover, and it is proposed that these
should be enlarged and enclosed, thereby creating a very good
permanent aerodrome. The club proposes becoming associated
with the Royal'Aero Club, and owing to its unique position in
relation to the Continent there is little doubt that the name of the
Dover Aero Club will stand out in the history of the British aviation world.
The original twenty-five
founders of the body will probably have reason to look back upon
their work in the future with considerable satisfaction.' These
founder members comprise Brig.-Gen. F. S. Inglefiei'd, C.B.,
D.S.O., Commanding at Dover; Sir W. H. Crundall, Mayor and
Chairman of the Harbour Commissioners; Commander S. E.
Forster, R.N., the King's Harbour-Master at Dover; Sir M.
Bradley ; Mr. E. P. Barlow, of Kearsmey Court; Lieut. -Col. A.
Dowell; Major H. Davies; Mr. A. C. Leney and Mr. Eric
Crundall, County Councillors for Dover; Mr. Walter Emden,
ex-Mayor ; Mr. F. W. Duckham, of Messrs. Weetman Pearson
and Co. ; Capt. F. Fitzgerald; Mr. T. B. Harby, Clerk to the
Justices; Mr. W. C. Hawke, Borough Engineer ; Dr. Ian Howden,
J. P. ; Capt. H. M. Ingle ; Rev. F. de W. Lushington, Headmaster
of Dover College ; Rev. G. H. Andrews, Chaplain to the Duke ot
York's Royal Military School ; Mr. Eric Snepp, Mr. P. H. Edwards,
Mr. W. Saul, Mr. V. Elkington, Capt. W. h . Marley, Capt. H. O.
Moore, and Capt. W. J. Todd. The address of Capt. Marley, who
is the honorary secretary and treasurer, is 11, Marine Parade, Dover,
to whom communications should be addressed in connection with
the affairs of the club.
The inaugural meeting of the flying grounds was on Wednesday
and Thursday of last week, but the elements proved anything but
kind for such an event, the first day being very boisterous, and on
the second the promised gymkhana exhibition flights having to be
dispensed with owing to the absence of Mr. Barber, who was to
have given some demonstrations on one of his Valkyrie machines.
Mr. Valentine fortunately was secured for the occasion, but his
racing Deperdussin monoplane was hardly suitable for anything
beyond demonstrations of high-class speed flying and landing.
Mr. Valentine made an excellent flight from the aerodrome on the
Thursday, in spite of a very treacherous wind.
