I've just had a quick look through “Aerofilms: A History of Britain From Above” which arrived in the post this afternoon. I was pleased to see that this photograph has been included and that I had made a contribution in identifying the location. Well done to everyone involved in the production of a superb collection of a tiny selection of the photos. I look forward to further study of the album if I can drag myself away from the website.

Thanks for the location! We'll update the catalogue and post the new data here in due course.

EUREKA Please allow me a feeling of elation as I have now identified the location of these three photos which are of Thatcham looking eastward from Thatcham Farm towards Thatcham Station presumably on 28th April 1933 when the National Aviation Day visited Newbury.
