| Possibly the A15, near Digby and Cranwell, who both used these aircraft in numbers. |

Possibly Avro 504K (skid between wheels). Sir Alan Cobham's Flying Circus? |

Thank you for all the help with this image, we'll update the catalogue and post the new record here in due course. 1926 is a bit early for Alan Cobham's National Aviation Day Display team, maybe someone can find evidence like a local newspaper report to work out who the dare-devils were? Yours, Katy Britain from Above Cataloguing Team Leader |
