In this historic photograph, Sir George Edwards is being invested as the new President of the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) by the outgoing President, E.T. Jones, in 1957. The investiture ceremony took place in the grand surroundings of a prestigious London venue, surrounded by distinguished members of the aviation community. Sir George Edwards, a renowned figure in the field of aeronautical engineering, was a pioneer in the development of jet engines and had made significant contributions to the aviation industry. His appointment as President of the RAeS was a fitting recognition of his achievements and expertise. The Royal Aeronautical Society, founded in 1866, is the world's oldest aeronautical society and a leading professional body for aerospace engineers and technologists. The investiture ceremony marked the beginning of Sir George Edwards' tenure as the head of the society, during which he would work to further its mission of promoting and advancing aeronautical knowledge and engineering. The photograph captures the moment of investment, with Sir George Edwards wearing the President's insignia, a gold and enamel badge featuring the RAeS crest, being pinned onto his chest by the outgoing President, E.T. Jones. The atmosphere in the room is one of excitement and anticipation for the future of aviation under Sir George Edwards' leadership. The image also features several other notable figures in the aviation industry, dressed in formal attire, looking on with interest and approval. In the background, a model aircraft or plane can be seen, a reminder of the society's commitment to the advancement of aviation technology. This photograph is a significant record of aviation history, capturing the investiture of a visionary leader in the field of aeronautical engineering and the continued evolution of the Royal Aeronautical Society.
