Supermarine was founded in 1913 on the Woolston shore of the River Itchen at Southampton by Noel Permberton Billing, an eccentric inventor and aviation pioneer. �Supermarine� was initially his telegraphic address and symbolized his intentions to �build boats that flay rather than aeroplanes that float.� Although taken over by Vickers in 1982, the company retained this distinctive title throughout its illustrious fifty-year life.
