On page 6 is a report which begins

The atmosphere on Thursday evening at the London Opera House (two days after the arrest of Mr. and Mrs. Pethick Lawrence) was electric with that undaunted spirit which in this Union never dissipates in emotion, but is translated into action. The blow that had fallen on the Union through the arrest of its leaders had made its friends rally in full force, and the huge house was packed from floor to ceiling with an audience of men and women entirely sympathetic and absolutely unwavering in confidence and loyalty, who stood up in a body to applaud and cheer the speakers. Outside, the seething of the crowd and the trampling of the mounted police ; inside, perfect quiet, except for the cheering and applause.

From the front page we learn that Votes for Women was edited by Frederick and Emmeline Pethick Lawrence, appeared weekly and cost 1d (or 1½d by post).

It was an exciting time for the paper. On page 1:

Meantime, the other leader roams the earth, the ocean, or the air. Without being in the least like a Boojum, Miss Christabel Pankhurst has silently vanished away, and none knows whither, least of all the eminent detectives of Scotland Yard. Fond of hunting as the British people are, it is a peculiar thing that their sympathy is almost always with the fugitive, and we doubt if Sherlock Holmes himself would have a chance for their favour against a successful Vanishing Lady. So day by day, as the police went searching the British Isles, enquiring with simple guile at the residence of every noted Suffragist in the kingdom, the interest grew with laughter.

Wikipedia:
Boojum - A fictional animal species in Lewis Carroll's nonsense poem The Hunting of the Snark; a particularly dangerous kind of snark
The narrative follows a crew of ten trying to hunt the Snark, a creature which may turn out to be a highly dangerous Boojum. The only crew member to find the Snark quietly vanishes, leading the narrator to explain that the Snark was a Boojum after all.

From memory this plane was damaged and the wings were removed and it was then used as a tractor?

Yes - that is the case - although I think Bickerton still had a lot of trouble keeping it going on the few days they were able to test it.

Isn't that the same moustache as the one on the left of Monday's photo?

From 1913 Fox Greenhough & Co's premises in Kilkenny were 'in the street facing the Canal Square', Mr Greenhough having acquired a long lease for the shop, and remodelled it completely, with 'a comfortable and commodious reception room', and new facilities for developing and printing not only the firm's work, but also that of amateurs. No movable boudiour, though. (Kilkenny Moderator - Saturday 05 July 1913)

I think it might be this building . The article in the Kilkenny Moderator mentions the new recessed windows, so that people standing looking at the windows wouldn't obstruct the narrow pavement. PS and the article said it be noticeable when crossing John's Bridge.

Fox, Greenhough & Co were equal opportunity employers. Not fair to incompetent people, though.

Probably outside the 'circa 1912' date, but Kilkenny Moderator - Saturday 20 February 1915 reported:

ARRIVAL OF FIELD GUNS. During the week nine 15-pounder guns arrived in Kilkenny for use in training the R.F.A. Battery now stationed here. Much interest was evinced in the arrival of these deadly weapons of destruction. We also understand that about 300 horses are expected to arrive during the nest few-days, and that they will be quartered in St. James's Park.
