Extract

Brearey was a most energetic Honorary Secretary. His belief in the ultimate success of the cause which he had taken up in the fiftieth year of his life with such enthusiasm was practically demonstrated by the many aircraft models with which he experimented and the lectures he gave. As has already been noted, he was not content with encouraging an interest in Aerial Navigation by means of the Aeronautical Society, but he founded the Aeronautical Club, where the more enthusiastic members could meet on the third Tuesday in each month and discuss their ideas in private. It was owing to the meetings of this Club that public lectures were arranged and demonstration given at the Annual Meetings of the Society.
