A biplane heads out before take-off at Wellcross Grange Landing Strip in the East of this square. The footpath here crosses the landing strip from where the photographer is standing and runs alongside the hangar to the trees hiding Mill Lane (a public bridleway) in the distance. The photographer is informed that this is an SNCAN SV4, a French-built version of the Belgian Stampe-Vertongen SV-4. It was one of 700 such 'planes built by SNCAN after the war for use by flying schools and the French military.
