In Cambridge, we have 'Marshalls', a firm that has its roots in running a taxi service from 1909 (I think) to now being a huge conglomerate with extensive motor retail outlets and dealerships and a large aerospace arm where they take c-130s apart and refurbish them for many airforces. The have their own aerodrome, of course
At the outbreak of the second war Arthur Marshall devised a method of training newly recruited RAF pilots on Tiger Moths which was universally adopted. Marshalls eventually trained 22,000 pilots during WWII. A Google search will soon lead you to greater detail but a short history can be found here https://cambridgeaeroclub.com/history/
The Cambridge Flying Groups still fly 2 1938 Moths from the airfield
