Thanks for all your help.

Hi Thanks for all your help in finding out what aircraft this was. I'm now pretty sure it is the de Havilland dH61 Giant Moth. G-AAEV named Youth of Britain it was used by Alan Cobham in an aviation promotional tour in 1929 of the United Kingdom. During the tour the aircraft carried 10,000 school children which were given free trips. The aircraft must of landed in the Manchester area at some-point so I think I will have to do a bit more digging to find out the aircrafts landing sites during 1929. Thanks again, Peter.
