Graeme,

You should have completely cut-off the words! The clothes and the spelling indicated North America and a bit of extrapolation of the words led me to:

Soon after World War II the National Flying Farmers Association in the United States set up a research programme on agricultural aviation. This was supported by the CAA and undertaken by the Personal Aircraft Research Centre at the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas. The Ag-1, designed by Fred Weick, was the first outcome of this programme and led some eight years later to the Piper PA-25 Pawnee, another Weick design.


A good find. I had never heard of it before.

And further research shows it is Fred Weick standing on the wing.
