TitleJames Radley in the cockpit of his monoplane on Portholme Meadow
DescriptionThis image was clearly taken at the same time as WH3/2391A-D, which shows Mr James Radley flying his monoplane on Portholme in April 1910. See the captions for these photographs for further information,and details of a report in the Hunts Post. See also PH100B/18 which is a contemporary postcard taken from this photograph
In this image Mr Radley is sitting in his monoplane, with Will Moorhouse standing behind the plane, and bystanders (or work colleagues?) standing behind, one of whom has been identified as AE Russell. The plane was constructed in the old foundry in St John's Street, Huntingdon.
A Daphne Peacock identified the " man seated on the end" as Daniel Readman, a Brampton wheelwright who made the wheels. She believed his brother is also in the photograph. The man sitting in the cockpit of the plane is James Radley, therefore this Daniel Readman remains unidentified
