EDITORS COMMENTS
Parry Thomas, the daring and innovative motor racing pioneer, is seen here in a captivating moment half an hour before his tragic and fatal attempt at breaking the land speed record with his iconic vehicle, Babs, on 3 March 1928. The photograph, taken at Pendine Sands in Carmarthenshire, Wales, captures Thomas' intense focus and determination as he prepares for another record-breaking run. With goggles shielding his eyes from the wind and grit, Thomas confidently grips the steering wheel, his gaze fixed on the horizon. The sleek, streamlined design of Babs, with its exposed engine and minimalist bodywork, reflects the groundbreaking engineering innovations of the 1920s. Thomas' hands rest on the gear stick, poised to engage the gears for another exhilarating run. The air of anticipation is palpable as Thomas sets himself for another daring attempt at motor racing history. Tragically, this would be Thomas' last run, as he lost control of Babs during the attempt, resulting in a fatal accident. This photograph stands as a poignant reminder of Thomas' courage and the risks taken in the pursuit of speed and motor racing records in the 1920s.
