EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Those Magnificent Men and Women in Their Flying Machines: They Came, They Saw, and They Took a Ducking at This Year's National Birdman Rally on Bognor Pier" we are transported back to the summer of August 1978. The image captures the exhilarating atmosphere of an aviation competition that brought together daring individuals from all walks of life. Amidst the excitement, our attention is drawn to Jonathan Cole, who appears calm and confident as he prepares for his flight. With a twinkle in his eye and a mischievous smile on his face, he exudes an air of assurance that everything will go according to plan – at least so far. The photograph not only showcases the spirit of adventure but also highlights the humor inherent in such events. As participants take flight with their homemade contraptions off Bognor pier, it becomes clear that some may have underestimated the challenges they would face. It seems even these magnificent men and women couldn't escape taking an unexpected dip into the water below! This snapshot from Memory Lane Prints encapsulates a moment frozen in time during an era when aviation competitions like birdman rallies were popular forms of entertainment. It serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit to defy gravity while providing us with a nostalgic glimpse into transportation history.
