Lord Wakefiled founded Wakefield Oil in 1899 and this company would later be renamed Castrol Oil. Through success in business and a desire to improve London for all, he took up a number of civil appointments and ultimately became the Lord Mayor of London from 1915-1916. He was a keen follower of high speed pursuits, whether they were on land, water or in the air, and he helped finance Amy Johnson’s record-breaking flight to Australia, sponsored Sir Henry Segrave’s 'Miss England III' project and aided Sir Malcolm Campbell with both his land and water 'Bluebird' speed ventures. According to family lore, this cup came into Lord Wakefield's possession in lieu of a debt to the Royal Aero Club and has remained in the family ever since.
