Summay:

Single Carrier with basket and three lifter war kites flying over land. Probably Farnborough/Aldershot. Same as 487. See also 492, 550, 535, 537. Other items that include photographs of kite trains are 019, 020, 050, 090, 115, 218, 284, 331, 366, 427, 487, 492, 535, 537, 538, 547, 548, 550, 557, 730. Most of these images are either poor or they show the train at height and therefore the kites appear as little more than kite-like dots.
