EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library, we find ourselves in the hallowed confines of a historic aircraft hangar, where the past comes alive with the presence of three iconic British aircraft: de Havilland DH.53 Humming Bird G-EBHX, DH.60 Moth, and Fleet Air Arm Sea Vixen FAW.1s. The de Havilland DH.53 Humming Bird, with the registration number G-EBHX and manufacturing serial number 98, is the star of the show. This open-cockpit biplane was a popular design for both civilian and military use during the interwar period. Its distinctive shape and agile handling made it a favorite among pilots and aviation enthusiasts alike. The Humming Bird's elegant lines and vintage charm stand out in stark contrast to the more modern aircraft that would soon dominate the skies. To the left of the Humming Bird, a DH.60 Moth rests quietly. This versatile biplane was another de Havilland classic, known for its simplicity, affordability, and ease of use. It was a favorite among flying clubs and private pilots, and its enduring popularity can still be seen in the skies today. In the background, the imposing silhouette of Fleet Air Arm Sea Vixen FAW.1s catches the eye. This powerful, carrier-borne jet fighter was a formidable force during the Cold War era. Its advanced capabilities and impressive performance were a stark contrast to the more traditional biplanes that dominated the foreground of this photograph. The juxtaposition of these three aircraft in the hangar serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history of aviation and the remarkable evolution of aircraft design. The photograph captures a moment in time when the past and the future collided, leaving us with a sense of wonder and appreciation for the ingenuity and innovation that has shaped the world of flight.
