EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing the Former Flight Booking Office at Brooklands in Surrey. Believed to be the world's first flight booking office, this architectural gem stands as a testament to the pioneering spirit that defined early aviation. The image beautifully showcases its grandeur and historical significance. The building itself is a striking blend of glass and timber, exuding an air of elegance and sophistication. Its listed status further emphasizes its importance within the realm of transportation history. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to a period when airplanes were still considered marvels of engineering. Peter Felton's keen eye has expertly captured every intricate detail, allowing us to appreciate both the craftsmanship and ingenuity behind this structure. The play of light on glass panels creates a mesmerizing effect, while also highlighting the building's unique design. While it is impossible not to acknowledge its connection with commercial aviation, let us focus instead on celebrating its cultural value and contribution towards shaping our modern transport systems. This photograph serves as a reminder that progress often stems from humble beginnings – in this case, from within these very walls where dreams took flight over a century ago.
