EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment when Henry Farman's waterplane, Wake Up England, touched down at Paston Place Beach in Brighton, UK on August 14, 1912. The image, taken in 1921, depicts aviation pioneer Claude Grahame-White at the helm of the seaplane as it makes its landing. Grahame-White, a renowned British aviator and founder of the Grahame-White Aviation Company, played a significant role in promoting aviation in the United Kingdom. The Wake Up England waterplane, also known as the Aerolane, was the first seaplane to fly across the English Channel, making headlines around the world. This groundbreaking achievement demonstrated the potential of seaplanes as a viable mode of transportation and opened up new possibilities for air travel. In this photograph, the Wake Up England waterplane can be seen gracefully gliding towards the shore, with the waves gently lapping at its hull. The beach at Paston Place in Brighton serves as the picturesque backdrop for this momentous occasion. The image captures the excitement and wonder of the bystanders, who gathered to witness this remarkable feat of aviation history. This photograph is an essential record of a pivotal moment in the development of aviation, showcasing the determination, innovation, and courage of the pioneers who pushed the boundaries of human flight. The Wake Up England waterplane's successful landing at Paston Place Beach marked a turning point in the history of aviation and paved the way for the future of seaplane travel.
