EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated 1934, depicts a group of Australian aviators, known as 'The Australia Fliers,' at the Cinque Ports Flying Club located in Lympne, Kent. The image features ten men, all dressed in their flying gear, standing in front of a line of biplanes. Among them are pilots Davis Waller, Bradel Ruben, Ken Bernard, and Bernard, who are identified in the photograph. The Cinque Ports Flying Club was a popular destination for both British and international pilots during the interwar period. The club's location in Kent, close to the English Channel, provided excellent flying conditions and easy access to the continent. The Australia Fliers were a tight-knit community of Australian expats who shared a passion for aviation and a sense of camaraderie. The photograph captures the spirit of adventure and excitement that characterized the early days of aviation. The men in the image are seen posing confidently in front of their planes, their faces reflecting a sense of pride and accomplishment. The biplanes, with their sleek lines and gleaming metal surfaces, add to the sense of drama and romance. The Australia Fliers' time at the Cinque Ports Flying Club was a defining moment in their lives. It was a time when they could pursue their love of flying and connect with like-minded individuals from around the world. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history of aviation and the enduring bonds of friendship that can be formed through shared experiences.
