  <dc:title>Mr Radley's Bleriot Monoplane on Portholme</dc:title>
  <dc:description>The Hunts Post of 1910 regularly reported on the flying exploits of Mr James Radley and his colleagues on Portholme Meadow.  On the 9th April 1910 it carried a report on Huntingdon Aeroplanes: "Mr James Radley, whose arrival with his Bleriot monoplane we announced last week, up to the present had not attempted to make a trial flight.  The machine, the lines of which very much resemble a huge dragon fly, was put together on Friday morning and wheeled on to Portholme for the purpose of being photographed."  
The glass plate for this image, which shows the workers of the Portholme Aerodrome Company with the monoplane, has not survived.
See WH3/2391A-D for further information on other images taken on the same day. </dc:description>
