| Are we sure this is England? This canted bay dormer is something I've only seen in Scotland (though I can't rule out the English borders)... Some of the houses have a faintly Scottish look too. |

| Both the church and the vicarage have the sun just about glancing the northern roof slope. Also glancing on east end of church. It wd seem that the church was built to the standard orientation, so maybe (local) noon. I suspect we can't get adequate measurements to measure the latitude or the actual date in July. |

On 1921 1:2500 as St Aidan U. P. Church. The NE tower which supports the broach spire shows on the map |

| I think there are more pictures with a sheet or similar on the ground (in this new batch). Was it a recognition signal? |

Hullo everyone, Thanks for spending time on this photo. The original Aerofilms Ltd Register entry for this image is blank, so we had no idea which country it belongs to; default position is "England" because most of the collection is English. As we have to make changes to everything from the glass plate negative on the shelf to the catalogue and online record it will take longer to resolve, but nevertheless we're on it! Yours, Katy Britain from Above Cataloguing Team Leader |

Hi adfbristol I've taken the liberty of tweaking your coordinate. I spent ages thinking that you thought the nearer church was Holy Trinity (which is alive and well). Eventually realised that that church was the one on the 1921 map described as St Aidan, U.P Church. I wasn't helped because the only map that gives a dedication to the parish church says St Cuthbert. I don't know if this is part of a double dedication, or just an error. |
