A MICHAEL T HOLDER GALLERY
Here once again we have Mike Holder, a great long-term friend of this 'Guide', to thank for both discovering this little known venue and providing the following items to illustrate the listing.
The short article was published in the Northern Scot and Moray & Nairn Express on the 24th September 1921.
The Avro 504K, G-EAVI (ex E1644), was the sole aeroplane operated by W A Hadden and piloted by Lt. 'Jimmy Woods' used for this tour of northern Scotland, which commenced at UDNY STATION.
The local area and area views are from my Google Earth© derived database.
NOTES: The story of this 'Tour' is still far from complete, (in July 2026), but what we do know is that they performed at MUIR of LINKSFIELD, (see seperate listing), not very far south of Lossiemouth, near Elgin, from the 17th to 20th September. It doesn't much matter of course if Lt. Woods flew in the evening before, (which seems unlikely having 'set up camp' at MUIR of LINKSFIELD), but we do know that he departed from here on the 22nd for Inverness.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
