Looks quite a bit like Lewis W. F. Turner.
You may note the “CGW” on one of the landing gear struts. Turner flew for Claude Grahame White until Sept 1912.

Turner qualified for his aviator’s certificate on April 4th 1911 (Cert. No. 66) at the Grahame White School, Hendon Aerodrome He returned in early 1912 to become chief instructor at the Grahame White School, Hendon Aerodrome, London. At the end of September, he left Grahame White.Turner was recognized at one of the most experienced flying instructors in Britain.
