Looks like the same Avro Cierva C.19 autogiro as in epw041021. See wikipedia for more pictures of the plane with special wing tips. All looks like phot series from the same air-show.

Thanks for all the comments and work on this image. I make it around about TQ35765608. We'll update the catalogue and post the new data here in due course.

I believe this to be looking south west from a point above Beddlestead Farm near Warlingham. It is very difficult to identify much!

I am not 100% confident on this one because there is not much to enable identification. Can anyone help, please?

I think you're spot on, Class31. Looking West. On Google Earth you can see the change in the angle of the fenceline just below the track in the foreground, and the trees in the bottom right corner of the photo are part of a shelter belt that runs E-W on either side of the road. You can also see the fence in the bottom right corner of the photo that joins the long fenceline. I make the long. and lat. refs on Google Earth for the intersection of the two fences in the bottom right corner as 51°18'3.35"N and 0° 0'6.17"E. (I don't have access to maps to give the grid refs, sorry).

Hello



I think the photo is taken looking west over Marden Park in Woldingham. The road shown is the single track road accessing the present day Woldingham School, a Catholic boarding school. The view is from just south of Woldingham train station, looking west. In the far distance on the right of the picture is Caterham Valley, with the line of the Caterham bypass about 1/4 of the way down on the right. On Google Earth, they have a 1945 aerial composite of the area and you can very faintly see the fence line that skirts the tree clump on the left. On the 1945 image you can see a field that follows the right hand line of this fence. To the left of the furthest left plane you can see where a footpath enters the treeline. This is visible on Google Earth too.

Hi Rebecca and Big John Following your comments I've just had a look at this area and I'm pretty confident that Big John has located this photograph. Everything fits for the location between Marden Park and Woldingham Station. Well done Big John

Planes flying: G-ABVY, G-ACCX, G-???? Tiger Moth number not visible, G-ABYX and another with number unclear (possibly G-ABVH) with rotor plane (possibly G-ABUC) underneath. Seem too be flying in same formation as EPW041037 and EPW041039 ie taken on same flight?
