I believe the trees on this boundary can be seen in EPW017587.

DH 53 'Hummingbird' presumably on a test flight ahead of the Daily Mail Light Aeroplane Competition of October 1923

I think I may have found this one in Burnt Oak. The field boundaries match the 1914 map quite nicely. Although things had started to change by the time of EPW017587, the trees noted are very similar. Anyone agree?

Actually, this was probably taken just before EPW009356. It seems pretty obvious now!

Hi Tony D,



Thanks for persevering with this, images are so difficult when there are so few control points (reference points on the ground) aren't they? We'll update the catalogue and post the new data here in due course.



Yours, Katy

I've had a look at miles of hedgerows in the Edgware and Stanmore areas and I've failed to match them to this photograph. There is every possibility that the photo was taken in that area but we need the proof. Does anyone have any spare time to clear this one up?
