Story goes he was a farmer who built this in a workshop based on a series of Flight articles and the general outline of the SE5.
McKenzie was his surname.

You are indeed miles out. 4045 miles out to be precise. (I'm assuming that the old airfield was where the current one is)
However there is a curious coincidence in the respective designers names - a homonym.
