Three of the gang laying kerb-stones are looking up at the aircraft, as are two chaps near the lamp-post on the opposite corner.

No doubt about where these two are looking.

There are half a dozen or so people watching the aeroplane, probably the most exciting event of the day in the rather spartan "Holiday Camp".
|

|
There are several small groups and individuals looking up at the aircraft.
|

Six people on the garage forecourt, posed as if they were expecting to be photographed.

Definitely a Spotter and probably glad to get up off of her knees.

The couple under the shop awning seem to have spotted the aircraft.

Are there any Old Boys out there who can remember what they were up to apart from aircraft spotting?
|
clippedwings |
|
Not much else to do at this time of year.
|
clippedwings |
|
Lets stand and stare, we can help with the harvest tomorrow.
|

No doubt where these two are looking. I would have been more interested in the airship and the rather splendid cars.
|

A chap ,bottom centre, has been distracted from closely studying a lamp post. A couple of small groups look up rather dejectedly, perhaps they are unemployed.
A lorry driver doing something to his trailer finds time to glance up. |

In the series EPW009970 to EPW009974a there are plenty of candidates amongst the Lowry-like figures.

Plenty of time to stand and stare when you are that far off of the ground and the foreman is hopefully in his office.
(you will need plenty of zoom to see him). |

Who wouldn't rather look at an aircraft than work in a smelly old shed full of chickens?

Just a week after his epic flight,all eyes are on Charles Lindbergh. I'll bet that his eyes were looking for a clear spot to land on.
|

Of the five people on the pavement near the Sutton & Co lorry, four are looking up at the aircraft. The fifth one has his back to us and appears deep in thought. I wonder if the little mobile stall, or possibly a barrel organ,is his?
|

|
A bod on the pavement has his back to the traffic chaos and is looking up at the aircraft.

Three gardeners interrupted from their work to stand and stare. One man and two boys. Are they using an early mower, or maybe its some sort of scarifier?

Thats a great stand and stare. Looks like a lawn roller to me?
