The Royal Society is a scientific fraternity located in London. A guiding light for science in general, it also oversaw Kew Observatory and the National Physical Laboratory, which studied fluid dynamics and meteorology.[1]

The Aeronautical Society of Great Britain, later the Royal Aeronautical Society, wasn't necessarily affiliated with the Royal Society, but its first president George Campbell and first treasurer James Glaisher were Royal Society fellows.[2][3]
