    Hi,

    Is anyone out there able to help me locate this view of an early

    " Daily Mail " Sea Plane ... ?

    I assume it was taken on a UK beach during one of the newspapers sponsored races.

    Any help will be appreciated

    Regards

    Is there any detail discernable in the background buildings on or near the beach? It looks suspiciously like many Cornish coves but there's not enough detail to make a decision

    What details (if any) are on the back?

    The picture was probably taken some time in 1914, as this article from Wikipedia infers:

    I don't think the beach is of much importance.
    The plane is (for plane lovers), since it was never used for the intended purpose.
