EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Miss B. Voyce, a long-standing and esteemed member of the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), is presented with her certificate of Honorary Companionship by Sir George Edwards, President of the Royal Aeronautical Society from 1957-1958. The ceremony took place prior to the 45th Wilbur Wright Lecture on 13 September 1957 at the Institution of Civil Engineers, Great George Street, London. Miss Voyce's dedication and contributions to the field of aeronautics spanned several decades, and her resignation in 1956 marked the end of an illustrious career. The Honorary Companionship, one of the highest accolades bestowed by the RAeS, was a fitting tribute to her lifelong commitment to aviation. The photograph captures the sense of occasion, with the formal setting of the Institution of Civil Engineers providing a backdrop to the presentation. Miss Voyce's expression of delight and pride is evident as she accepts the certificate from Sir George Edwards, who looks on with a warm and approving smile. The image is a testament to the importance of dedication and perseverance in the field of aeronautics, and serves as a reminder of the pioneering spirit that has driven the development of transport by air. The planes, planes, and aeroplanes that fill the skies today are a testament to the vision and hard work of individuals like Miss B. Voyce, who dedicated their lives to the pursuit of flight. This photograph is a valuable historical record of a significant moment in the history of the Royal Aeronautical Society and the aviation industry as a whole. It is a reminder of the people and achievements that have shaped the world of transport and flight, and the enduring allure of the skies.
