Southern Martlet aircraft. One of only 5 built. This one was originally built for Douglas Douglas-Hamilton, 14th Duke of Hamilton and the man Rudolf Hess asked for on his arrival in Scotland. Hamilton and a colleague were the first men to fly over Mount everest (not in this aircraft). |

In this photo there are two right angle shaped tree shelter belts which are likely to be recognisable. In my opinion there is a possibility that the photo was taken in Berkshire or Oxfordshire. |

Yes, my mistake. It was built by the Southern Aircraft company, designed by Fred Miles before he formed his own company. |

This aircraft is in 2 of the formation photos with the National Aviation Day aircraft such as G-EBMR so it's probably near the Thames in West Middlesx as in photo EPW037506 |

I think that the aircraft is a Miles Martlet but if anyone can get the location closer than a field somewhere in England, I'll be very surprised. |
