It is particularly easy to compare the field boundaries to the north east of Green Lane against those shown on the six inch Ordnance Survey supplied by the National Library of Scotland.

How ironic that the National Library of Scotland is providing one of the finest online reference maps of England and Wales.

Could this photograph be earlier? The aircraft serial numbers suggest they are 20 Squadron aircraft, but in 1922 this squadron was based in India. The aircraft pictured are painted in WW1 European camouflage, rather than the inter-war silver.

I have been checking the field boundaries and everything fits for the area around Edgware.
