A MICHAEL T HOLDER GALLERY
Once again we have Mike Holder, a great long-term friend of this 'Guide', to thank for discovering this little known venue. The exact field used is not known?

THE STAR TURN
Mrs Eliott-Lynn
As posted in the advert above, Mrs Sophie Eliott-Lynn was to be a major attraction on Sunday the 20th July. She was a very busy lady at that time and the photo of her swinging the prop of her de Havilland DH60 Moth, G-EBKT, at ROEHAMPTON on the 18th July was published in the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News on the 24th July. She had departed from ROEHAMPTON for Coventry, presumably to display on the Saturday, before flying on to WINSFORD for the Sunday engagement.
