Description

Aerial Photography of the South West of England, including Cornwall, Devon, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and North Wiltshire. The Cornwall and Devon photography was part-funded by PopperFotos to help undertake an archaeological assessment of the counties. Wingham's other flying was self-funded and reflects his archaeological and social interests.

He acquired a camera and film stock from the RAF and started flying in 1951. He continued flying until 1963, when he was involved in an aircrash which killed his pilot.
