EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from August 1972, we are transported back in time to witness a thrilling spectacle at Selsey, Sussex. A crowd of 5,000 holidaymakers eagerly gather on the shores, their eyes fixed on the scene unfolding before them. The air is filled with anticipation as 15 brave men and two daring women prepare to take flight in an audacious attempt to win a coveted £1,000 prize. Perched atop a towering structure that reaches 30 feet into the sky, these intrepid individuals embody the spirit of adventure and innovation. They are known as "birdmen" pioneers who have harnessed their ingenuity to defy gravity itself. With wings strapped tightly to their bodies, they stand ready to challenge nature's laws. As spectators hold their breaths in unison, the signal is given and these modern-day Icaruses launch themselves into the unknown. Their goal? To soar through the air for an impressive distance of 50 yards – no small feat by any measure. This photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects humanity's relentless pursuit of exploration and discovery. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our daily lives, there exists within us an innate desire for adventure and triumph over adversity. Transported back to this remarkable era of aviation history through Memory Lane Prints' lens, we can't help but marvel at both the courage displayed by these birdmen and the infectious excitement shared among those lucky enough to witness this extraordinary
