This area can be seen in greater clarity in photo EAW022109	Class31	Sunday 20th of July 2014 09:40:21 PM
I thought I would have another look at this one which is in sequence from EPW035066 which has now been identified. The photo is a very poor image and is similar to EPW035066 and was likely to be in the same area. I marked the tree lined pond and then I got the breakthrough in spotting the obelisk which I now know is the Cumberland Obelisk. This then meant that the pond was Obelisk Pond. Because of the poor condition of the photo there is not a lot which may be identified but what there is fits. I am confident in this identification.	Class31	Monday 29th of April 2013 12:48:26 PM
Thanks Class31, it's good to get a location for these glass plates over the aerodrome in Windsor Great Park (even though the image quality is very poor, it's worth it for the aircraft in flight!). We'll update the catalogue and post the new data here in due course. Yours, Katy Britain from Above Cataloguing Team Leader	Katy Whitaker	Monday 29th of April 2013 12:48:26 PM

This must be somewhere in the Virginia Water area but I can't find where, at least for the present.	Class31	Monday 21st of January 2013 12:25:11 PM
