Very large Extended Wing Carrier War Kite with kingposts with soldier in 'cube' wicker basket. Photographer almost directly below carrier kite with view of one lifter relatively close and then a number of lifters further on, and possibly the pilot but this is shown as a dot. The flying line seen is that from the Carrier kite to the winch. Same as 010 (negative reversed), 018 (negative), 586, 703. 586 best image. Group including 010, 018, 031, 062, 067, 068, 069, 246, 416b, 468, 527, 542, 572, 575, 576, 577, 580, 581, 584, 585, 586, 588, 589, 590, 591, 598, 603, 607, 609, 619, 673, 693, 703, 708, 710, 714, 718, 724, 734, 737, 739, 742.
