EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, Captain A. S. Wilcockson and First Officer G. H. Bowes are seen deep in concentration as they study the Atlantic route beside the majestic "Caledonia" at Hythe, Southampton. It is June 18,1937, a significant moment between the wars when aviation was pushing boundaries and capturing imaginations. The two pilots are preparing for an extraordinary feat - the first experimental commercial transatlantic crossing to be made by the remarkable flying boat "Caledonia". With their eyes fixed on maps and charts spread out before them, they meticulously plan every detail of this groundbreaking journey that will take place just one week later on June 24. This photograph captures not only their determination but also a sense of anticipation that hangs in the air.
