Dennistoun Burney

Sir Charles Dennistoun Burney, 2nd Baronet (28 December 1888 – 11 November 1968, Bermuda) was an English aeronautical engineer, private inventor and Conservative Party politician.〔''Oxford Dictionry of National Biography'' Oxford: OUP.〕
==Early military career==
Burney, often called Dennis Burney, was the son of Admiral of the Fleet Sir Cecil Burney Bt. He was given a naval education, starting his training at HMS ''Britannia'' in 1903, and joining the battleship ''Exmouth'' as a midshipman in early 1905.
In 1909 he was posted to the destroyer HMS ''Crusader'', which was being used for experimental anti-submarine work at the time.〔
In 1911, he came up with a novel seaplane design using a hydrofoil undercarriage. Further development was carried out by the Bristol and Colonial Aeroplane Company and two prototype designs, the X.2 and X.3, were produced, but were not successful.〔Barnes, C.H. ''Bristol Aircraft Since 1910'' London: Putnam, 1988 pp. 86-90〕
On the outbreak of World War I, Burney was given command of the destroyer HMS ''Velox'', but shortly afterwards joined the research establishment at HMS ''Vernon''. Here he developed the paravane, an anti-mine device, for which he took out a number of patents in 1916. These were to earn him around £350,000 during the course of the war through their use by foreign merchant fleets. In 1920 Burney retired from the navy with the rank of lieutenant-commander, and was promoted on the retired list to commander.〔
