EDITORS COMMENTS
The Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, along with their fellow officers from the 11th Hussars, Captain Eric Westropp, were captured in this iconic print during the exhilarating Daily Mail Transatlantic Air Race. The year was 1969, a time when excitement filled the air as competitors raced against time and each other to conquer the vast expanse of the Atlantic. In this particular snapshot frozen in time, we witness Captain Eric Westropp rushing out of London's GPO Tower at the start of his London to New York race. Donning his helmet and fueled by determination, he epitomizes the spirit of competition and adventure that defined this era. The image encapsulates both speed and royalty as these young men embarked on an extraordinary journey across continents. It serves as a testament to their courage and skill as they navigated through unknown skies towards victory. This photograph is not just a glimpse into history but also a reminder of how far we have come in terms of aviation technology. It transports us back to an era where transatlantic races were not only thrilling competitions but also opportunities for nations to showcase their prowess. As we admire this remarkable piece from Memory Lane Prints, let it serve as a tribute to those who dared to dream big and push boundaries in pursuit of glory.
