EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Plane the King and Queen chose" we are transported back to February 1947, where history was being made in the aviation industry. The Vickers-Viking, a plane that had been making waves in production news, takes center stage as it nears completion in its hangar. This particular Viking fuselage is showcased with utmost precision and attention to detail within the jig. Every curve and contour of this magnificent aircraft speaks volumes about the craftsmanship involved in its construction. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and technological advancements of that era. What makes this image even more intriguing is knowing that it was specifically chosen by none other than the King and Queen themselves for their South African tour. This royal endorsement adds an air of prestige and significance to the already remarkable plane. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at how far aviation has come since then. The image serves as a reminder of our collective ability to push boundaries, explore new horizons, and fulfill dreams once thought impossible. Thanks to Memory Lane Prints' preservation efforts, we have the privilege of reliving these extraordinary moments from our past. This photograph captures not just an airplane under construction but also a glimpse into an era defined by progress, ambition, and unwavering determination.
