Air Vice Marshal Henry Meyrick Cave-Browne-Cave (1 February 1887 – 5 August 1965), was an engineering officer in the Royal Naval Air Service during the First World War and senior commander in the Royal Air Force during the 1930s. He was prominent in the development of seaplanes and, following the armistice, flying boats.
In 1927 he led crews in four flying boats, the Far East Flight, from England around Australia and then up to Hong Kong.
His career was cut short by a serious flying accident in January 1939 so until 1945 he was appointed Air Liaison Officer to the Regional Commission for Scotland.
