Englands First Aviation Races, Doncaster, GNR poster, 1909
Poster produced for the Great Northern Railway (GNR) advertising the first aviation meeting held in England at Doncaster Racecourse, South Yorkshire from 15th to 23rd October 1909. The meeting was actually held at the same time as a rival event at Blackpool. Although the Blackpool event had the official backing of the Royal Aero Club, a number of prominent early aviators opted to take part in the Doncaster week, including Samuel Cody and Leon Delagrange. Apparently the amount of actual flying done was considerably limited by poor weather. Published by Photochrom Co Ltd of London and Tunbridge Wells

EDITORS COMMENTS
Englands First Aviation Races, Doncaster, GNR poster, 1909". Step back in time with this print capturing a significant moment in aviation history. This vintage poster, produced by the Great Northern Railway (GNR), advertises the first-ever aviation meeting held in England at Doncaster Racecourse from 15th to 23rd October 1909. Intriguingly, this event took place simultaneously with a rival gathering in Blackpool. Despite the official backing of the Royal Aero Club for the Blackpool event, many pioneering aviators chose to participate in the Doncaster week instead. Notable figures such as Samuel Cody and Leon Delagrange graced these historic skies. However, Mother Nature had her own plans for this groundbreaking occasion. The amount of actual flying accomplished during this week was significantly hindered by unfavorable weather conditions. Nevertheless, it did not dampen the spirits of those who witnessed these early aerial endeavors. Published by Photochrom Co Ltd of London and Tunbridge Wells, this remarkable poster transports us back to an era when monoplanes soared through uncharted skies and aircraft technology was still evolving. Join us on a journey into aviation's past as we celebrate these firsts events that paved the way for future competitions, air shows, and flying weeks across Britain.
