Summay:

Single Carrier with basket and three lifter and one pilot war kite flying over land. Carrier at top position similar to 366, 487. Probably Farnborough/Aldershot. Same as 090, 492. see also 366, 487, 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.
