Posted it under the Come Fly With Me? and within a very short time had a reply back from some one calling them self oldMohawk. Turns out that this airplane was a Miles M.2H Hawk Major registered in November 1934 and sold to The Aeronautical Training Centre of India in June 1937, which means the photograph was taken at sometime between those dates. OldMohawk even tracked down an old photograph of the airplane and here it is:-
It exactly matches the aircraft in the old photograph that my mother is pictured against and even though the registration marking is different - G-ACZO instead of that in my picture of G-ACZJ it is most certainly the same plane even down to the hinges just to the right of the registration marking!
That is I must say, truly amazing but it does just go to show how a photograph can be dated even if the date has not been written on the reverse!
