The Benton B2 installed in the hangar that Johnny put up on the 35 acre field that he leased from Walter Spackman on Manor Farm, Chalvey from 19th June 1911. The rent until the end of 1911 was £22-10 shillings and Spackman retained the right to harvest the grass. This agreement continued until the end of 1917.
