Airfield memorials - anyone know this "genius"?

Just come across this:

"We are delighted to announce that ABCT’s Director General, Kenneth Bannerman, will be unveiling four memorials in England to coincide with the 100th anniversary of Britain’s airfields."

According to the ABCT website, Mr Bannerman will be unveiling at Fambridge, Rivenhall, Leysdown and Bekesbourne airfields between Friday and Monday. There are plans for a memorial to be erected at each known disused airfield site in Britain.

Anyone know Mr Bannerman? On his website he says:

"You could almost say my life might be viewed as an allegory for our airfields. Academically I was seen as an enigma, once seriously being referred to as a genius somehow not that good at exams but still possessing an indefinable ‘something’ – again a bit like our airfields I suppose. Severe disillusionment after uncovering a conspiratorial revelation meant my efforts were therefore concentrated upon various bigger, futuristic ideas, in particular how to make money, writing and then this new airfield idea – all largely correlated and exactly what I do today."

Eh?
