I am assuming the signature is that of an Aviator or someone connected with Aviation given that Cody, Jean Conneau (Andre Beaumont), Audemars, Vedrines, Weymann and Hamel were all pilots.

I'm hazarding an educated guess that the signatures are related to the "Round Britain Race" of 1911.
In that case, all the pilot and other relevant information is on the webpage link shown below.

Those Magnificent Men

The rest of the signatures are easy enough to identify. From top to bottom ..

S.F. Cody
J. Conneau
E. Audemars
J. Vedrines (upside down)
C. T. Weymann
G.W. Hamel.

However, the signature in question eludes me, and does not appear to be any one of the pilots involved. Could it be of a mechanic or another person deeply involved in the race?

If it is Wijnmalen's signature, as it would logically be, then the man should have been a doctor, not a pilot!

Thank you for your help. The signature would appear to be someone other than Wijnmalen.
