Cobham Cockpits Havilland Hope
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the historic de Havilland DH51, registration number G-EBIM, with its two intrepid pilots, Alan J. Cobham and W.L. Hope, sitting in the open cockpits. The DH51, also known as the "Moth," was the first successful design from the de Havilland Aircraft Company, founded by Geoffrey de Havilland in 1920. The aircraft was a two-seat biplane, primarily used for training and light transport. Alan Cobham, a British aviation pioneer, was a test pilot, record-breaker, and air show performer. He played a significant role in promoting aviation in the United Kingdom, organizing the first ever British Air Display in 1922. W.L. Hope, on the other hand, was a renowned British aviator and aeronautical engineer, who made significant contributions to the development of aircraft engines. The image captures the essence of the early days of aviation, with the pilots dressed in their leather helmets and goggles, ready for takeoff. The DH51, with its sleek design and open cockpits, embodies the spirit of adventure and innovation that characterized the early aviation industry. This photograph is a testament to the courage and determination of the pioneering aviators who pushed the boundaries of human flight and opened up new possibilities for transportation and exploration.
