This is the NW corner of the flying field 50 48 34"W 004 33 13"W. The field pattern still exists today although the top third of the field has reverted to rough pasture.

I've detailed what I think are the matching points, other than the obvious field boundaries on the attached section of google earth. The garage belongs to 'Trevose View' house



And this would make it the 22nd of August according to the list on http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1932/1932%20-%200824.html

Hi Dave,



That is a very smart piece of research. There was no indication of location in the original Aerofilms Ltd Register. We'll update the catalogue and post the new record here in due course.



Yours, Katy
