The 1920s also saw the growth of civil aviation as a result of the light-aircraft movement.
In August 1924, the British Air Ministry announced the establishment of 10 flying clubs in response to the development of the light airplane for the Lympne trials.
In December of that year, the Royal Aero Club was selected to form the first club in the London District.
By 1928, there were 21 clubs in operation, more than 3,000 members, and more than 12,000 hours of flight time logged during the year, according to General Aviation News.
