EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured during the great aviation week at Bournemouth in July 1910, we witness a remarkable sight that epitomizes the pioneering spirit of early aviation. The image features Alex Ogilvie's Wriglane half draped in a protective tarpaulin, being towed out onto the airfield. The Short-built Wright biplane from Leysdown stands as a testament to human ingenuity and determination to conquer the skies. Its sleek design and delicate framework are visible even through the covering, hinting at its potential for flight. This particular aircraft was undoubtedly one of many marvels showcased during this momentous event. As it is gently pulled across the field by an unseen force, one can almost feel the anticipation building among spectators who eagerly awaited its takeoff. The atmosphere must have been electric with excitement and curiosity about what lay ahead for aviation. This photograph serves as a timeless reminder of how far we have come since those daring days when aviators like Alex Ogilvie pushed boundaries and defied gravity. It encapsulates an era where dreams took flight amidst uncertainty and risk-taking became synonymous with progress. While commercial use may not be mentioned here, it is impossible to ignore how images like these continue to inspire generations of aviators worldwide. They remind us that innovation knows no bounds and encourage us to reach for new heights in our own endeavors – whether they be within or beyond the realm of aviation.
