1912
William Moorhouse is posing with his friends and mechanics in front of a particularly flimsy looking aeroplane at Huntingdon aerodrome (which he part owned with James Radley) where he learnt to fly. The poster in front is advertising Marshall Bottled Ales, in particular Oatmeal Stout - the brewery was based in Huntingdon. Second on the left is Charles Branson, father of another Charles Branson, the latter being Nancy Branson's father. He lived at Spratton Grange and was killed in an air raid over Courtrai in April 1915, and awarded the Victoria Cross posthumously - the first airman ever to receive this award.
