A.E. Clouston
Arthur Edmond Clouston CB DSO DFC AFC (7 April 1908 – 1 January 1984) was a British test pilot, who also took part in 1930s air races and record-breaking flights, and in the 1950s rose to the rank of air commodore in the Royal Air Force.
==Early life==
Arthur Clouston was born on 7 April 1908 at Motueka, New Zealand, the eldest of nine children of mining engineer Robert Edmond Clouston (1874–1961) and his wife Ruby Alexander Scott (1886–1943). As a teenager, Arthur developed engineering and practical country skills, and established a business repairing and reselling motor cars. His ambition was to be a master mariner, but that was abandoned due to incurable seasickness.
He was inspired by the expansion of aviation, and particularly the pioneering flights in Australia and New Zealand by aviators such as Charles Kingsford-Smith and C.W.A. Scott in the late 1920s. He learned to fly at the Marlborough Aero Club at Omaka Aerodrome, near Blenheim. In 1930, after failing his attempt to join the Royal New Zealand Air Force, he moved to the United Kingdom.〔Clouston 1954〕〔Orange 2004〕
