An impression by G.H. Davies of Edward, Prince of Wales, flying over Windsor Castle in his aeroplane. The caption reads: During the last two years, the Prince of Wales has taken very keenly to flying, as a sport and as a means of quick transit. In May 1928, it was arranged that a Bristol fighter should be kept always ready for him at the R.A.F aerodrome, Northolt, and some months later a new machine was built to suit his needs when travelling to fulfil public engagements. In September he bought a machine of his own for private use - the two-seater Gipsy Moth in which he is seen here flying over Windsor Castle. It is painted in colours (red and blue) of the Brigade of Guards Light Aeroplane Club, to which he belongs.
