EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the sleek and elegant lines of the second de Havilland DH108, registration TG306, on a tranquil Wednesday before the fateful day that changed aviation history. The DH108, also known as the Vampire, was a groundbreaking jet-powered aircraft designed by Geoffrey de Havilland and his team at de Havilland Aircraft Company in the late 1940s. The image shows the aircraft standing proudly on the tarmac, its wings gleaming in the sunlight, and the engine exhausts emitting a faint plume of smoke. The pilot, dressed in a smart flying suit, is visible in the cockpit, seemingly deep in thought as he prepares for takeoff. The scene is one of calm and anticipation, with the serene backdrop of a clear blue sky and lush green trees in the distance. However, just a few days after this photograph was taken, tragedy struck. On the following Sunday, October 23, 1955, TG306 was involved in a fatal accident during a test flight. Geoffrey de Havilland himself was at the controls when the aircraft suffered an in-flight break-up, resulting in the tragic loss of his life. The incident marked a sad end to the illustrious career of a pioneering aviation figure and a significant moment in the history of jet aviation. This poignant photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the excitement and innovation of the early jet age, as well as the inherent risks and challenges that came with pushing the boundaries of aviation technology.
