EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the thrilling era of night flying at Hanworth Air Park in London, on the 14th of September, 1932. The flood lighting illuminates the scene, creating an ethereal atmosphere as a pilot prepares for takeoff. In this snapshot from history, we witness the convergence of technology and adventure as aviation pioneers push boundaries under cover of darkness. The darkened sky serves as a canvas for these daring individuals who defy gravity and soar through the air with grace. Hanworth Park House stands proudly in the background, its grandeur contrasting against the excitement unfolding on its doorstep. This private event attracts members of high society who gather to witness this extraordinary spectacle firsthand. Bernard Alfieri's expert lens captures every detail with precision, allowing us to immerse ourselves in this moment frozen in time. We can almost feel the anticipation building as engines roar to life and propellers slice through the air. Transported back to a bygone era, we are reminded of how far aviation has come since those early days when night flying was still considered a novelty. This photograph is not just a piece of art but also an invaluable historical document that pays homage to those brave aviators who paved the way for modern flight.
