Race to Scotland - A Historic Encounter in the Skies and on Rails
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a thrilling moment in history, as Imperial Airways' bi-plane, the City of Glasgow, soars gracefully over the picturesque River Tweed at Berwick. It was taken on June 16th, 1928, during an exhilarating race against the renowned LNER Pacific class steam locomotive - The Flying Scotsman. However, what makes this image truly unique is the unexpected twist that unfolded. As fate would have it, the pilot momentarily mistook another locomotive for The Flying Scotsman. In fact, it was none other than its junior counterpart - Junior Scotsman! This amusing mix-up adds a touch of humor to an already extraordinary event. The photograph showcases not only two remarkable modes of transportation but also highlights their significance in shaping our world's history. It symbolizes a time when air travel was still in its infancy and railways reigned supreme as vital arteries connecting nations. Imperial Airways played a pivotal role in revolutionizing long-distance travel by air while The Flying Scotsman epitomized speed and luxury on land. Together they embarked on this epic race from England to Scotland – an embodiment of progress and innovation. As we gaze upon this archival masterpiece captured by London Express photographers nearly a century ago, we are transported back to an era where technology met adventure head-on. Let us marvel at this snapshot frozen in time; an ode to human ingenuity and determination that forever
