Mr. A.W.Evans has provided us with the photograph for which no details are known.
The aircraft is a Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter and, apart from the surrounding populace, there are few clues as to its identity. On the rudder there appears to be a number of some sort. Did any of the sub-contractors have the habit of putting on serial numbers in this fashion?
No gun-mounting is visible in the rear cockpit - or was it a single-seater bomber version of the Strutter? There appears to be a Bowden cable affixed to the forward centre section strut which does not appear clearly in the photographs of 1 1/2 Strutters which come to hand. The central rib of the transparent centre section seems also to be deeper than on Sopwith-built aircraft.
Probably the best clue is the people posing in front of the aircraft, possibly their first completed machine. The central character has a wing collar, obviously part of the management if not actually the owner of the factory. The smock-clad ladies are presumably impressed sempstresses, transferred from silk dresses to best Irish Linen for the aircraft's covering. Slightly-varied dress on the lady on the left may designate her as the firm's Lady Typewriter. And the others? Works Manager, Foreman, Accountant? They seem to outnumber the work force.
Does anyone recognise the hangar itself? Does it belong to Hooper, Mann Egerton, Ruston Proctor, Wells or Morgan, all sub-contractors who might have been more impelled to pose in front of their first aeroplane than the more established manufacturers of Strutters such as Fairey, Vickers and Westland, not to mention Sopwith?

A view of HMS Albion. Having a resident photogarphic section and a variety of aircraft to take snapshots from is very convenient. On the deck are three Sea Hawks and a Skyraider AEW.1. 'Albion' having the initial 'A', it follows that the letter 'Z' was allotted as an ident letter for the bows. Note the first Sea Hawk ready for catapulting from the port catapult.

The seaplane Supermarine S-5 N219 which took part in the 1927 and 1929 races. It was acquired by a Mr.Thompson who owned Golden Acre Park in Leeds and was displayed apparently without and engine and with a propeller and engine cowlings which do not seem to be those originally fitted. There are three tubes projecting downwards just forward of the wing and these may have been inserted for drainage.
After Mr.Thompson's son had been drowned in a boating accident on the lake, he had it drained and for the next eighteen months the seaplane was displayed on a plinth at the junction of Wetherby Road and Hare Hills Lane, Leeds, before disappearing without trace. Any trace of the whereabouts of N219 after this would be welcome.

Hitch-hiking is not a very difficult or unusual way of moving around but it shows a certain flair to hitch-hike on a truck with a Folland Gnat for company.
Stefan Barnickel has sent in this photographs taken by Manfred Gebel in July 1958 while travelling towards London from the north. The cargo carries Yugoslav markings and is one of two delivered for evaluation to Yugoslavia.
The question that arises is what it was doing on the back of a lorry in July 1958 and what the fate of the two Yugoslav Gnats was.. It is probably all covered in some book or magazine which doesn't appear on the editorial bookshelf. Perhaps someone would like to offer a history of Folland aircraft for AM to fill this gap...
