Good news for this title - Philip was the only heir to the baronetcy.  Was listed as B 1987 by Kershaw, which will now be removed, though B 2021 will be listed from 2022.

Sir George WHITE, 4th Bt, is a great-grandson of Sir George WHITE, 1st Bt (28 III 1854 - 22 XI 1916), the founder of the Bristol Aeroplane Company. After the first baronet's death, his son, Sir (George) Stanley WHITE, 2nd Bt (31 VII 1882 - 18 I 1964), became managing director of the company, and his nephew (a son of the first baronet's sister), Sir William George VERDON-SMITH, CBE (1876 - 19 II 1957), as he eventually became, was the financial director and later chairman.

Sir William VERDON-SMITH was the father by his first wife (married 1911), Diana Florence ANDERS (1880 - 28 IV 1928), of Sir (William) Reginald VERDON SMITH, and thus SIr Reginald's daughter, née Elizabeth Jane VERDON-SMITH, is a third cousin of her husband, Sir George WHITE, 4th Bt.
