Supermarine was a British aircraft manufacturer. It was set up by Noel Pemberton-Billing as Pemberton-Billing Ltd in 1913 to produce sea-going aircraft. Upon election as an MP in 1916 he sold the company to Hubert Scott-Paine who renamed the company Supermarine Aviation Works Ltd. The company became famous for its successes in the Schneider Trophy for seaplanes, especially the three wins in a row of 1927, 1929 and 1931.
In 1928 Vickers Aviation took over Supermarine to become Supermarine Aviation Works (Vickers) Ltd. In 1938 it was part of Vickers-Armstrong (Aircraft) Ltd.
