Description | The Hunts Post of 1910 regularly reported on the flying exploits of Mr James Radley and his colleagues on Portholme Meadow. On the 9th April 1910 it carried a report on Huntingdon Aeroplanes: "Mr James Radley, whose arrival with his Bleriot monoplane we announced last week, up to the present had not attempted to make a trial flight. The machine, the lines of which very much resemble a huge dragon fly, was put together on Friday morning and wheeled on to Portholme for the purpose of being photographed." See WH3/2391A-D for further information on this image and three others taken on the same day. This image is identical to WH3/2391D. In this DC print, Ernest Whitney has identified the man on the right of the image, smoking a pipe, as Mr Thackray. |
