Summay:

Extended Short Wing Carrier kite with man underneath in wicker kite chair. The lifters seem to be the Queen Alexandra Kite and the Winged Rhomboidal Kite. No pilot kite shown but this may be beyond photograph; this could be the Patent Kite which would justify it being shown adjacent in 266. Top of kite winch protrudes into lower frame of the image. These images likely to be around Newcastle but may be earlier, i.e. Rawtenstall. Similar to 266, 268
