Baronetcy
He inherited the Mount baronetcy of Wasing in Berkshire along with the Mount family estates on 8 December 1930 on the death of his father.[3]
Mount had interest in aviation, being a director of the Miles Aircraft Company.[10] In 1950 he stood trial with F.G. Miles on 24 charges of making false and reckless statements in connection with the 1946 Miles share prospectus.[11] Mount went on to develop Brimpton Airfield.[10]
He died at the age of 88 in 1993. At the time of his death, he had three daughters but no surviving sons so his baronetcy was inherited by his nephew Ferdinand.[1]
