Found these old negatives in the attic taken by my grandfather and scanned them in. I have only limited information on these so anything would be gratefully received.
Handley Page W.10 (G-EBMM) possibly at Belfast Airport pre-1945 with three other bi-planes about to land. Owned by Imperial Airlines, there were only three types of these aircraft built. The W8 (four built, G-EBBG/H and I, with G-EBIX , the W9 (one only was G-EBLE) and the W10 (Four built G-EBMM/R/S/and EBMT).
Shorts Sunderland at Sydenham Aerodrome around 1950-55 at an airshow.

(But I wouldn’t swear to this being an original air-to-air shot, just a shot taken at the time to demonstrate the concept)
