Researching the filming of the Battle of the Somme, I have been trying to find out what happened to Geoffrey Malins after the end of the war. I know that he wrote or directed a number of silent films and was part of a team who attempted to fly around the world in 1922.

Can anyone confirm if there is any link between Malins the photographer and Geoffrey Malins who in 1935, started a manufacturing company called G.M. Patents Company which made ball-race turntables (like lazy susans) and, later, toy steam engines sold by his own company called Mamod?
