When designer and company owner C. H. Lowe Wylde was killed while flying on 13 May 1933, the British Aircraft Company (1935) Ltd taken over by Austrian pilot Robert Kronfeld, becoming Kronfeld Ltd.

The firm was re-organised and a new factory was opened in Victoria Road, Feltham, Middlesex, where the Drone was produced.

The Kronfeld Monoplane of 1937, likewise a pusher, was intended as a Drone successor, but only one was built.

The name of the firm was changed to Kronfeld Ltd in 1936 but it closed down in 1937 after twenty-eight Drones and one Kronfeld Monoplane, a revised Drone, had been built.
