CROWHURST FARM: Early flying site


B C Hucks coming in to land
B C Hucks coming in to land

NOTES: In his book Flying and Ballooning John Fabb has a photograph captioned, “B. C. Hucks in his Blériot monoplane ‘Firefly’, above Crowhurst Farm, Gorleston, Norfolk, on 3 August 1912.”
 

The attitude of the aircraft and the prop being visible indicating low rpm (?) seems to suggest it was coming in to land. Can anybody kindly offer more advice?
