    John Evans Evans-Freke, perhaps. From that link to thepeerage.com:
    He gained the rank of Temporary Flying Sub-Lieutenant in the Royal Naval Air Service.

    A shot at Alamy stock photos carries the text:

    The Aerial Derby: Lord Carbery with his Morane-Saulnier monoplane, 1914 (1934). John Evans-Freke, 10th Baron Carbery (1892-1970) at the Aerial Derby, an air race sponsored by the Daily Mail in which the competitors flew a circuit around London. It was first held in 1912, with subsequent races in 1913 and 1914. It resumed in 1919 after the First World War, but the last edition was held in 1923. From History of British Aviation 1908-1914, Volume II, by R. Dallas Brett [The Aviation Book Club, London, 1934]

    Here he is in the 1901 census aged 8, recorded as simply John Carbery, at home in Castle Freke.

So good they named it twice?

    There is an Imperial plate - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000327451 - with a man sitting on the wall, who might well be Lord Carbery. We met him previously; he was quite a character - www.irishtimes.com/opinion/an-irishman-s-diary-1.232307 -

    Per the NIAH: The interior was destroyed by fire in 1910 and architects Kaye-Parry and Ross inserted concrete floors and roof and a Jacobean Revival style interior. The reinforced concrete technology utilised during the early twentieth century reconstruction adds both technical and scientific significance to the building. In 1919 the last Baron of Carbery, John Evans-Freke sold the estate. The lands were divided when it passed to the Land Commission in the 1930s. It was used as army barracks for the 38th-39th Battalions during World War II, and later as a summer base for the boys of Upton Industrial School.
