Summay:

Single Carrier with basket and three lifter and one pilot war kite flying over land. Carrier is probably travelling up line to position in 366, 487. Probably Farnborough/Aldershot. Same as 535, 537. See also 366, 487, 492, 550. 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.
1908 or earlier
