About us

We can trace our origins back to the partnership of Jack Beaumont and D. H. Clarke in the late 1940s. These gentlemen amassed a large stock of books and magazines and traded in Enfield, north of London.

By the mid 1950s Jack ran the business as Beaumont Aviation Literature from his home in Russell Lane, Enfield, later moving to a shop nearby at 2A Ridge Avenue, Winchmore Hill and began to devote himself full time to the enterprise.

Although there was not the vast range of titles on the subject that we are accustomed to today, trade was brisk with Putnam and MacDonald titles that are rarities today.

In 1964 Jack moved the business to 11 Bath Street, London EC1. Jack opened the new shop six days a week with Phillip Jarrett as his assistant. The shop became a Mecca and meeting place for enthusiasts, some club meetings taking place down in the cellar amid the thousands of magazine back issues.

With the expiry of the lease in 1974, we moved to Holloway Road, North London and about that
